TESTIMONIALS
Here are some of the reviews that our past clients have written about us
From the first day we met Rob and Jo at their Tilford showroom we knew we were in safe hands when it came to our kitchen & utility design & installation.
Antoinette worked seamlessly with our builders to ensure the whole project was delivered on time, to brief and within budget. We really felt that nothing went unanswered or was missed and everything was dealt with in a really efficient and timely manner. We love our new kitchen and utility and have had so many compliments about it.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chisholm Design to anyone who looking for a new kitchen or utility room.
David, Farnham, 2024
We had a great experience with Chisholm Design, all the way from the design phase to install, which all happened on time and on budget! Our new kitchen not only looks amazing but is super functional and is so well laid out. There are so many lovely small design touches that make the kitchen feel extra special and the whole team are very helpful and friendly - a delight to work with!
Sarah, Chichester, 2024
We are thrilled with our new kitchen and utility, thanks to Chisholm Design. The process from start to finish has been seamless. The entire team has been wonderful to deal with and has brought so much expertise and experience to the table. They guided us through important decision-making, resulting in a beautiful, quality kitchen design and build that reflects our lifestyle. We highly recommend Chisholm Design.
Nicky, Hampshire, 2024
We are delighted to give a review for Chisholm Design. Jo, Rob and the team provided an excellent design and installation service and were responsive to our requirements and queries throughout the process. Their attention to detail is outstanding and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The finished kitchen is of a very high quality and fits beautifully with our open-plan living space. We would highly recommend Chisholm Design.
Angela, Emsworth, 2023
Chisholm Design did an amazing job! We are thrilled with our kitchen every time we walk into it! It’s been a total game-changer and made all our lives much happier. They are incredibly easy to work with, really listened to my husband and I, came up with useful and practical ideas, worked well with all the other trades on site (and kept calm throughout, unlike me) and provided excellent customer care and after-service. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Kerry, Surrey, 2023
Chisholm Design have been fantastic and we'd recommend them to anyone considering a new kitchen. We wanted a team that could give expert advice on every single aspect and support the process throughout the build. The whole team have been a pleasure to work with and their continual focus on quality and detail is evident in the result. We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen - thank you!
David - Farnham, 2023
We used Chisholm Design for our new kitchen, part of our house renovation project. We had heard so much great feedback from friends who had used them for their projects. We wanted to use a local independent company and it made sense to talk to them about our project, initially getting an understanding of what they offered and idea of costs, etc. Having previously completed a kitchen project we had an idea of what we wanted but were also keen to see what design ideas the team had. We started talking to Jo, Rob and the team at Chisholm Design when we were drawing up plans for the wider house renovation. The team were fantastic from start to finish, ensuring that every step of the way we were making the right decisions, whether from design, type of unit through to appliances, taps, handles, colours and even suggesting the lighting plan! Jo and Rob were always there for you should you have a question and being local meant they could pop round if required. Basically, they designed and fitted us the perfect family kitchen and utility. The quality of the units are great and they came already painted which made life even easier. I have been recommending Chisholm Design to friends and would have no hesitation using them again.
Emma, Farnham, 2023
We comprehensively renovated our entire period home from October 2020 to May 2021, so our kitchen was one decision out of many decisions we were making in a seven-to-eight-month timeframe. As part of the renovation process, we created space for a family kitchen, pantry, utility, and laundry. It was a significant purchase to consider and daunting because budgets can so easily spiral when faced with endless choices.
We sought products and prices from a few kitchen suppliers but there was something different about the local independent business, Chisholm Design, and well, the rest is history. From start to finish, working with Jo, Rob, Katie, Lorry (the lovely and thorough installer) and Paul (painter of perfection) has been an extremely positive, enjoyable, and communicative experience.
Both Jo and Rob have a quiet, calm demeanour and at no point did we feel sold to, pressured etc. Jo, where possible, presented options and ideas that didn't always benefit their invoice (if you know, you know) and if anything, Jo was pragmatic, realistic and really understood what we needed and that is quite refreshing and welcomed.
The process from start to finish was so smooth, even in the uncertainty of Brexit and Covid-19, and that is a credit to Jo, Rob, and their team. They worked so incredibly well with our main contractor. The feeling onsite was remarkably harmonious considering the number of trades that were present most days.
Even though some elements of our wishes/design were tricky, we never felt the pressure of that. Jo and Rob presented the solutions and not the problems. That truly is a skill to be thankful for. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Jo and Rob to bring to life our ideas and dreams for the space we had. Even now, we still can't believe that the beautiful, timeless and classic kitchen we created with Jo and Rob, is the kitchen we now enjoy and LOVE every single day.
Without a doubt, if we ever need to or want to create a kitchen etc., we will work with Jo and Rob...because they really do listen, create and manage, to the end, a beautiful, functional space to live in.
Rachel, 2021
From the very start of our kitchen/utility/boot room project to putting a pan on our hob for the first time, Chisholm design have been exceptional. The whole team has been a pleasure to deal being both hugely professional and knowledgeable. Patience and attention to detail never faltered and nothing was too much trouble with (quite a few) amendments and tweaks along the way! Rob is calm, clear and adaptable and has guided us through the entire project. Chisholm Design have built on our vision and delivered an amazing space for our family. We are so happy and grateful and can’t recommend them highly enough!
Mr and Mrs Thompson, 2021
We cannot thank Jo and Rob enough for their time, effort, patience and precision when designing and installing our stunning new kitchen. Whilst I loved the idea of a having a new kitchen, I found the multitude of potential decisions and organisation overwhelming; but Chisholm Design took all of that away and instead enabled the process to be enjoyable and seamless. Our new space is exactly what we wanted it to be - stylish, chic, comfortable and inclusive: perfect for our family and for entertaining. We wouldn't change a thing!
Georgina and Ben, 2021
Jo and Rob at Chisholm Design were absolutely fantastic from day one until the end of the project. From helping us to visualise the space and make it work for us, through to the implementation of the project. They are incredibly organised and work with a brilliant team who are a pleasure to have around the house - they could not have been more helpful in ensuring that things went smoothly and that whilst the work was going on, we were minimally inconvenienced. We cannot recommend them highly enough - very professional and such lovely people. Thanks so much to you all, we absolutely love it!
Laura, 2021
“We genuinely couldn’t recommend Chisholm Design more highly. We started working with them at the beginning of a huge renovation project of our house. Jo & Rob meticulously designed the kitchen - taking into account everything we asked and incorporating it into the design and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. The kitchen was due to be fitted mid-lockdown and right from the onset, Jo and Rob’s calm and informative approach during a very stressful time was extremely reassuring. Despite a delay in our build holding up delivery, Jo and Rob still ensured everything lined up to plan. They took the additional stress and the headache away and I would have no hesitation in working with them both again. The kitchen is absolutely beautiful and we couldn't be happier with the finished result, thank you both!
Claire, 2020
“Thoroughly recommend Rob and the team at Chisholm Design. They have been meticulous, organised, honest, focused - tolerant of my demands and entirely solution focused with quality at the heart of everything. We LOVE our new kitchen and so happy to see it all come together. All of their advice and inputs have been hugely valuable and we are eternally grateful, thank you so much!!!”
Hayley, 2021
From the first meeting, we knew we had found the “one” kitchen company we wanted to deal with. We didn’t even bother approaching any other companies….every little detail was thought of, The quality of the kitchen is exceptional…I know this kitchen will stand the test of time.
I plan to stay in my house forever, however if I ever find myself installing another kitchen, I’d always stick with these guys.
Harriet, West London, 2021
"Our experience of working with Chisholm Design in relation to our kitchen and boot room was enjoyable and stress free. Their calm and reassuring approach ensured that even in the midst of a stressful building project, we had absolute confidence that the kitchen design and fitting process was not something we needed to worry about. Our builders constantly complimented Jo on her attention to detail and professionalism, and also commented on how much they enjoyed working with her. They were always accessible, quick to respond and forward thinking, and used similarly professional suppliers which ensured that the end result was something quite stunning. I can't recommend them highly enough."
Lou, 2020
"Thank goodness for Jo! After finding myself in the lucky situation of being able to totally renovate our kitchen I realised I actually didn't really know where to start and liked too many styles. I struggled on, trying to work it out myself and badger friends for opinions etc but felt stuck...then someone mentioned Jo. She came straight over and sorted me out. She guided me through different style options, having spoken in depth to me about what I thought I wanted and liked. Then drew a number of different scaled designs and layouts to think about. I changed my mind a few times along but she was always patient and understanding. The final result was stunning, more than I'd anticipated. I couldn't have got there without her!"
Jo & Rob took away all the stress usually associated with a renovation project - even dealing with suppliers late in the evening to ensure everything was perfect. From guidance on design to complete project management we are overjoyed at the end result. Best of all Chisholm Design brought the best of the best to our project - a painter and a craftsman who were both passionate about delivering perfection, tradesman of a quality we would not have found ourselves. Even the suppliers Jo introduced us to obviously shared the same ethos of quality Jo & Rob live by. We’re looking forward to many happy years in our new kitchen/living space - thank you.
Katie 2020
Joanna from Chisholm Design helped us to create our perfect kitchen. She was unrelentingly helpful, nothing was too much for her and she was full of advice and ideas. From the beginning to the very end she ensured that the kitchen was exactly as we had envisaged it. I would be very happy to recommend her.
Annette, 2020
"We are absolutely thrilled with our kitchen and this is down to the meticulous planning and design from Jo. Although we have already lived here for 5 years - Jo's advice and insight really helped in understanding what we needed from a new kitchen. We needed a practical and enjoyable family kitchen - one that works for children and adults alike, we wanted a sociable hub and one that would work for many years to come. Jo offered 4 different solutions - with different structural changes (doors / walls etc) and also with a peninsula versus island design. She also offered advice on what may work for us and the pros and cons of each design. In consultation with Jo and on the floor we were able to choose the optimum solution and one which we love every day. Jo was able to help at every stage - with budget, materials, colours and appliances. We are very happy with the result and it works well with the rest of the house too."
I can't recommend Chisholm Design highly enough - we approached Jo in the very initial stages of our build project when we were in the design phase of our new kitchen extension. She came up with some options for different layouts which helped us decide structurally what we were going to do with the space. Jo put up with us changing our mind many times, building delays, and indecision, but was always patient and helpful along the way.
She came up with lots of options for worktops and handles and we felt that we could tailor things to be exactly how we wanted. We also sourced all of our appliances through Chisholm Design and are delighted with them. Rob gave us various options at different price levels and advantages / disadvantages of each - we searched high and low to get them cheaper but couldn't find them at a better price and we're delighted with all of our choices. Rob sorted the ordering process and responded very quickly when we needed to change our extractor fan due to builder error! He saved us loads of time and we have great products!
Thank you so much to Chisholm Design for helping us create our dream kitchen. We started with a broad idea of what we wanted but Jo and Rob were able to gently steer us away from any problematic design ideas and introduce some clever new solutions into our new kitchen space. We were particularly impressed with the time both Jo and Rob dedicated to our kitchen, understanding our requirements, formulating the plan and being on site during construction. Both were hugely supportive and always at the other end of the phone when needed – even whilst holidaying in France! We are still enjoying walking into our new kitchen every day - the more we live in it, the more we appreciate the time given to maximising the kitchen design and flow of the space. The quality of the units themselves is also very impressive - you won't be disappointed! Thank you again for all of your hard work. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services.
Jo was brilliant with helping us redo our kitchen. From recommending layouts, suppliers, tradesmen and materials to actually putting the build into practice and coming to our aid when things went wrong, she was an invaluable support throughout. We've ended up with something that feels really unique and personal to us that has transformed how we live and eat in our home. Thank you Jo!
Kate, 2019
“We are delighted with our kitchen and boot room, which Jo helped to design and install. Jo works in a highly collaborative manner, has a strong supply base and an excellent installation team. Overall Chisholm Design are very easy to work with and the team is focused on ensuring that the final result is delivered to a very high standard - I would certainly highly recommend them!”
Becks, 2018
“Jo was incredibly helpful when it came to designing our kitchen. A new space which I found hard to visualise before it was built. Talking through options and sourcing materials and so on, I couldn't have asked for more. As part of a larger house extension project, I was able to relax on the kitchen front and concentrate on other things, as I knew the kitchen was in capable hands! Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you Jo for all your hard work.”
Steph, 2018
We love our new kitchen and have already had many compliments. Jo is great at advising, finding practical solutions and liaising with our builders and suppliers. Her contacts for fitting are excellent and the finished results really show great quality and design. Would be more than happy to say that we highly recommend Chisholm Design
Andrea, 2018
“The task of filling our new kitchen extension was daunting, especially as my husband and I wanted different features! Enter Jo Chisholm who patiently created a plan, then another and another until a compromise was reached and we were ready to go with Jo's design. She was helpful at all stages of the new kitchen fitting and showed endless patience when we decided to change our minds or needed yet another measurement to supply to our tradespeople. She also arranged contacts, samples and an appointment when we had to decide on the work surfaces. We had to change dates for the fittings and Jo was so helpful when our building project went on longer than our original estimate. Eventually our kitchen was fitted, usable and lovely! Thank you so much Jo!”
Diane, 2020
“Jo was brilliant with helping us redo our kitchen. From recommending layouts, suppliers, tradesmen and materials to actually putting the build into practice and coming to our aid when things went wrong, she was an invaluable support throughout. We've ended up with something that feels really unique and personal to us that has transformed how we live and eat in our home. Thank you Jo!”
Hanna, 2020
"Jo was fantastic to work with. She offered stylish, innovative and practical ideas. She was flexible, committed and delivered far more than we expected within our agreed budget. She was also able to come to our house regularly to finalise ideas and oversee the installation. I have recommended her services to all our friends and still love my beautiful kitchen."
"Jo was great to work with and we are thrilled with our kitchen. She is a busy mum and a cook, which means her design works brilliantly for us as a family. It's a pleasure to cook in and we couldn't have done it without her. Thanks Jo! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her."
"We didn't know how to start choosing a kitchen, let alone getting it fitted but Jo really helped kick start that process for us. We have a small kitchen so we were limited in what designs we could choose - Jo explained our options (more than we had realised!) and put forward some creative ideas which we followed through on. The kitchen has made an incredibly positive difference to our home life and our moods! Jo is helpful, responsive and was very adaptable to any issues that cropped up by suggesting practical alternatives. She was a pleasure to work with and we wouldn't have the gorgeous kitchen we now have had it not been for Jo's valuable input, ideas and support."
"For several years we contemplated replacing our rather worn out and very dated kitchen but struggled to agree on what sort of kitchen to go for, modern or traditional and baulked at the cost. Fortunately a friend recommended Jo to us, I found her very easy to work with and she guided us through the numerous aspects that needed to be considered. The "mood board" Jo produced was a useful document to refer back to when faced with coordinating all the different elements. Jo also gently dissuaded us from making some bad choices and was able to recommend local suppliers and tradesmen who helped keep the costs manageable. Without Jo's help I don't think we would have the lovely kitchen we have now.``
"Vanessa (from Oswin Interiors) and Jo recently worked with us on a major re-organisation of our kitchen and on our family bathroom. We approached them on recommendation and were not disappointed. From the outset they worked tirelessly to understand our family’s need for the space and completely appreciated the need for us to balance style with practicality. They suggested a number of space saving options and, because they were so in tune with the style that we were looking to achieve, made the selection process of the cabinetry, equipment and soft furnishings extremely easy. Once the project was underway, they worked seamlessly with the builder to ensure that everything was ready and waiting for the builders as and when they needed it, ensuring that there was no “down time” and that the very highest of standards in terms of finish were maintained. In working with Jo and Vanessa, we found a design team who really complement each other in their skillset, really listen to the needs of the client and with an attention to detail that ensured that we were truly delighted with the outcome. We really love the spaces that we worked with them to create and cannot recommend Jo and Vanessa highly enough."
“Jo has been excellent. She thought outside the box when it came to the design and layout of our kitchen and has guided us through many of the decisions we've had to make in relation to it. She was always more than happy to assist in any questions we might have and has been a calming influence throughout. We have already recommended her to several friends and family members.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the fabulous kitchen that Jo has helped us design and install. It really is exactly what I wanted, it looks beautiful and works so well. Jo took the time to ensure that the design would really work with my requirements and happily answered the hundreds of questions that occurred to me in the middle of the night. Everything ran really smoothly and Jo was even able to ensure that I had the bespoke shelves that I had set my heart on. Thank you so much Jo - such a fantastic service.”
