Plan your kitchen once. Plan it right.

Take these into your first design meeting.
The checklist is the 30 things clients most often wish they'd known before they started. It's free, and so is everything else here.
- Choose the floor with the kitchen, not after it.
- Count every plug you use, then add a few spare sockets.
- Light the worktop, not just the ceiling.
- Vent the extractor outside if you possibly can.
- Leave about 1 to 1.2 metres around an island.
- Put 10 to 20% aside for surprises.

Hello, I'm Toma.
I moved to London at 20, studied at University of the Arts London, and have spent more than 16 years designing kitchens.
In August 2025 I opened Kutchenhaus Battersea: two floors and seven working kitchens under the railway arches by Battersea Park station. In 2026 it was named New Kitchen Retailer of the Year at the BKU Awards.
My job is to make sure the kitchen you choose still works, and still feels right, in ten years' time.
Owner, Kutchenhaus BatterseaWhat clients say
“World class service… They listen to your requirements and wishes, offer options, spend time with no rush.”
“Toma has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive.”
“The showroom feels more like a boutique interior space than a typical kitchen store.”

Come and see the kitchens in person.
The showroom sits under a working railway, so you may feel a train or two pass overhead during your design meeting.
