"We had a breakfast bar in the last kitchen, and we always used it, but this island/dining table is great because it’s all incorporated for a family of five."

"All those wee extras like the drawers are what I love!"

" Our time working with Mode German Kitchens was great. John and Gerard became like buddies!"

"We had an idea that our new kitchen would be dark and modern. John took our vision and refined it, suggesting a black concrete effect complemented with pearl grey concrete for a two-tone finish."

"I love the pull-out larder; people always comment on that, and I love the spice rack."

"We have LED lights around the channel handles which, in the evening, give an ambient light. There are downlights under the cupboards as well as ceiling lights. They’re the finishing touches and details that really make the kitchen special and that was John's suggestion - that’s what we loved most about working with him."

"John did a computer-generated 3D picture beforehand and he was able to throw up the whole extension in 3D. This visualization was crucial, showing how an island could fit seamlessly into the layout. And so, the island became the centerpiece, featuring a pop-up electrical socket, wireless chargers and integrated storage solutions."

"We wanted a big space which would incorporate a living area, kitchen and utility room."

"When we saw the showroom, we realised they had exactly what we were looking for. We thought it might be too pricey, but John was fantastic."
