Robert Mooney Design Services
One of the most important things to remember when designing a kitchen is to bring in the designer at an early stage especially if building a new house or extension. It will make a difference and with 15 years of experience working with architects and builders I can make your dream kitchen or furniture piece come true.

We offer a design and quotation service and provide you with 3d drawing following an initial briefing meeting. There is an initial cost of €200 for the drawings which is refundable if you place an order.

There are many stages to planning a new kitchen and we cover them all. The following is a brief outline of various stages which are involved and are meant as a guideline only.

The design and installation process:

  • Initial design consultation and acquaintance. This allows us to discover your needs and wants and lets you get an overall understanding of our services.
  • With those ideas we then create multiple 3D drawings and illustrations of your dream kitchen incorporating all appliances.
  • We present, discuss and fine tune the design and costing of the job. When the design and cost have been approved and the go ahead has been given we would require a 50% deposit of the overall amount.
  • At this stage the kitchen will be manufactured.
  • It is very important to liaise with the builder for services (or I can provide the labour to do services)
    Installation then takes place with the utmost care and attention to detail
  • I will also have all auxiliary services ready to go i.e. granite and appliances so the transformation is as easy and painless as possible. So it will meet all your expectations.
  • After the project is finished and you are very satisfied with the service and product we would appreciate the balance of payment.

Kitchen Designers. A well-designed kitchen layout means function and flow. Layout works together with appliance placement to create a comfortable, workable environment. Good design dictates that the refrigerator be near work space and food preparation counters and sinks be placed next to dishwashers for easy loading. Stoves want workspace and handy storage for cooking accessories, cupboards for pots and pans, and drawers for utensils. Kitchen design ideas - Are You Designing Your Kitchen? A kitchen is the central headquarters for the family. Kitchen is often the showplace of the home, and yet it is required to function well for a wide variety of tasks. A well-equipped, beautifully dressed kitchen will provide both a sense of well-being and a favorite place in the home. As you plan your new kitchen, you must consider both the utility and the look factor. Kitchen design ideas - choose the one that suits you best! When thinking of ideas for designing your kitchen, you could either consider one- one part of the kitchen at a time or pick up a complete theme. A complete theme could be something like a design based on Feng Shui which incorporates all its principles. Feng shui concerns the art of placement and you could help you to arrange your kitchen in a way that enhances its good energy. For instance, according to Feng shui, the cook's back should never face the kitchen entrance so you must design accordingly Now according to the other way, you could choose a particular look for the kitchen floor, the walls, the storing place etc. this can be done in various ways depending upon the amount of money you are willing to spend, the lay out of the kitchen and your taste. Here are some specific design ideas for your kitchen - * Kitchen floor- Your flooring choice is important as it will set the tone for the whole kitchen. The textural quality of the floor always appeals to eye and has a radical effect on how one perceives the room as a whole. For kitchens, the two most elegant floors are tiles / stones and laminated or hardwood floors. Ceramic tiles are a premium product for a kitchen and represent an impressive upgrade over any other floor. The only disadvantage is the cold feel. However if you want you can also opt for a floor heating system. * Kitchen countertops - While choosing your countertop, select a color and texture that will compliment your cabinetry, floor or paint selection. Don't be afraid in combining two or more countertop materials. Complimentary colors and textures on adjacent surfaces create visual interest. Also remember, it pays to select a material, which will withstand years of use without extraordinary maintenance requirements and is easily repairable should an accident occur. Granite and marble are strong options. * Kitchen lighting - you might have a large ceiling fixture, equipped with energy-efficient fluorescent tubes that supply plenty of well-diffused general lighting. However it may leave you working in your own shadow at the sink, range, and countertops. These areas in your kitchen need supplemental task lighting. Also placing your windows is a tricky question. * *Kitchen design layout -

The perfect arrangement

Kitchen designing is very subjective, so a layout that might be perfect for one can be disastrous for another. This is primarily because the tastes, and the ways of people in terms of working habits, styles are vastly different. Thus kitchen layouts should be done according to the necessities and specifications of the prime user of the space, who has definite ideas about how he/she would like their working space to be. But apart from this subjective outlook, there are certain steps that you should follow while designing your kitchen plan or layout. Following are the stages -

Stages in kitchen design layout

Follow these simple steps in order to get your kitchen space rightly utilized with a desirable look- 1. Measure your kitchen in a detailed manner, the position of the doors, windows, electric points, drains and sinks etc. 2. Demarcate the kitchen areas into three - Storage, cooking and cleaning. Go about planning the space, keeping these three aspects in mind. 3. Make a list of the appliances that you are likely to use in the kitchen, and provide space for them according to their dimensions.
