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, which can be refined further on the phone or web conference. This is a great choice for those living in an area where lockdown restrictions apply, homeowners who are self-isolating, or those looking to limit face-to-face contact due to COVID-19.

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, with social distancing measures in place to protect all involved during the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes a home assessment completed by one of our designers where it is safe to visit your home. During this appointment, they will measure up and offer advice on how to get the best from the space. This will inform a 3D plan, that can be tweaked multiple times to get it exactly how you want it.

Trading safely

To support our trade account holders, and our local communities, our depots are open with social distancing measures in place to serve our trade customers safely. We will continue to offer home visits as part of our design service, where it is safe to do so.

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.
