‘When I’m working with a client, I ask them to stay focused on the things in the kitchen that don’t work, because there will be little things that bug you every day that can be changed.’

Georgie suggests that you be vigilant about the finer details, like the proximity of the bins to where you prepare meals, the placement and size of the sink and the overall ‘flow’ of your kitchen space.

On the flip side, you shouldn’t forget about what is already working well in your space:

‘Clients always remember the things that bother them, and they forget to think about all the things that were working in the old kitchen. It’s important to assess what areas work and take them with you,’ she said.
