What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In London, Life Kitchens has drawn praise from homeowners seeking bespoke kitchen furniture, with the quality of the finished rooms and the craftsmanship involved featuring across accounts. Buyers describe the showroom as a strong introduction, pointing to attractive displays and a broad choice of finishes, among them hand-painted doors, solid oak drawers and granite worktops.

The design service attracts consistent approval, with Dani, Micheal, Georgina and James credited for listening closely, giving practical advice and refining layouts until clients were satisfied. A recurring theme is the use of 3D plans and a virtual reality headset, which helped customers picture their kitchens before committing. Communication during projects also comes up frequently, with Micheal noted for keeping clients informed and adding bespoke units to suit individual needs. Accounts cover the fitting of complete kitchens, including a 1909 range, for clients in the UK and abroad.

Reviewers frequently point to the attention paid to detail and the readiness of staff to adjust designs. A minority, meanwhile, report problems with measurement, responsiveness and after-sales follow-up, and some describe the experience as failing to meet expectations given the outlay. The design and showroom side is clearly the strength, while consistency in project delivery is where accounts differ most.

From the moment we first walked into the showroom to the day our kitchen was completed, our experience with Life Kitchens was exceptional. Choosing a new kitchen is a significant investment, and we took great care in making our decision. Having explored several companies, Life Kitchens stood out immediately for the quality of its furniture, the beautiful finishes and the exceptional attention to detail. The craftsmanship is outstanding and offers remarkable value for money. A very special thank you must go to Stuart Radford, whose creativity, patience and meticulous approach made the entire process such a positive experience. He listened carefully to what we wanted, understood how we hoped to use the space and created a kitchen that is not only beautiful but also wonderfully practical. Every detail feels thoughtfully considered. We would also like to thank Lisa Armstrong for making us feel so welcome from our very first visit, Graham Perkins for his professionalism and support throughout the project, and Aubrey Anderson, whose outstanding craftsmanship, professionalism and meticulous attention to detail during the installation were second to none. Their combined expertise, care and commitment made the entire experience a pleasure from beginning to end. We absolutely love our new kitchen. It has transformed our home and has truly become its heart. It is a joy to cook in and spend time in every day, and the quality, design and finish continue to delight us. Thank you to Lisa Armstrong, Stuart Radford, Graham Perkins, Aubrey Anderson and everyone at Life Kitchens for creating a kitchen that has exceeded our expectations in every way. We would recommend Life Kitchens without hesitation.

Extremely happy with my new Life kitchen. Micheal, the project manager, is very experienced and knowledgable. He advised on the design and aesthetics, creating an additional bespoke unit to suit our individual needs. Full of ideas and kept us up to date throughout. Nothing was too much hassle for Georgina and James who were happy to tweak and add ideas and extras to the design until we were completely happy and reassured . The 3D plans were very helpful in ensuring we were all in sync! Rob fitted the kitchen. Rob just loves kitchens!!! He double checked and talked through everything. The whole project ran smoothly and punctually. Would not hesitate to recommend.

When I fitted a new 1909 kitchen to a house in the French countryside, word quickly spread and local French people started calling round to have a look. They loved the 'Butler's pantry' with solid oak drawers and a granite worktop inside. Opening the hand-painted doors, they gasped when the interior LED lights came on automatically. It takes a lot to impress the French, but this kitchen does it in style.
