How to get a new Howdens kitchen design

We have two design services you can access to best suit your needs, both of which are free.

Virtual Kitchen Design

This service connects you with a designer remotely, who will visualise your ideas using details you share with them about your project through our online form. Capturing measurements, layout choices, and product preferences, this information will inform a 3D plan, that our designer will share with you via email, and can be discussed and refined further on the phone or web conference.

Kitchen Design Service

Offering hands-on experience with our products and a face-to-face planning session with a designer, this service takes place at a design studio found in your local Howdens. It includes a home assessment, where our designer will visit your home to take measurements and offer advice on how to get the best from the space, and a 3D plan, that can be tweaked multiple times to get it exactly how you want it.

Total design confidence

A new kitchen is a big investment and we want to be sure that you are completely confident with your design before it is installed. That is why you can make changes as many times as needed to get it exactly the way you want it.

3D plans to share

With every design, our designers will share with you a 3D plan, and a video walkthrough on request. This means you can take it away to digest in your own time, or you can share it with family and friends to get a second opinion on the new look.

Local stock

Once your plan is finalised, your local depot will collate all the products your builder needs from local stock, so your project can start without delay. And, in the unlikely event there is a problem during installation, there is stock on hand to make it right.
