EXPERT INTERVIEW
Stunning kitchens by Hamilton Stone Design Tell us a little about the history of Hamilton Stone? Hamilton Stone Design was established 14 years ago initially as an Interior Design Company and then we branched out into designing and installing kitchens. We have a background in commercial management, interior design and space planning so we were able to use these skills as the basis of our new company. How would you describe your style? Our partners range from the very contemporary cabinets from Rot Punkt and Keller to our own brand of more traditional painted oak cabinets which can be bespoke painted to the colour of your choice. We offer a wide range of cabinets constructed in our partners factory in Yorkshire with more bespoke items being made locally in Wivelsfield by our very talented joiner. The very popular pallet of Farrow and Ball colours is our start point and we can create our customers perfect kitchen from our extensive range. Talk us through your customer process? We have amassed over 30 years of experience designing kitchens for all types of homes in all styles you could imagine. We do this the same way as we always have. We simply listen, plan, advise, and collaborate with our customers. From the initial design consultation where we discuss all our customers wish list through to the installation of their beautiful kitchen with our professional installation team and in house project management service. We want our customers to really enjoy the process from start to finish. What advice would you give to a client who wants a kitchen that will work for them but also add value to their home? Buy a good quality kitchen. All our cabinets have a 10 year warranty on all components. The kitchen will need to look as good as it does on the day of installation to the day when you may move on and the new owner will enjoy the perfect kitchen too What’s your favourite thing about working in this area of Sussex? As a very local company it is really great to constantly be recommended to family and friends of customers we have worked with. We are a family business and like to work with our local community
