Kitchen Lifestyles | Dorset - Wimborne

April 2025. Our kitchen Lifestyle experience has been flawless. From the first day meeting Derek at the showroom to the day of completion, everything went smoothly. Derek left us to most of the design as we had pretty much decided what we wanted but made subtle changes here and there using his experience and expertise. The attention to detail was apparent from the offset with Derek Coming out to measure on the couple of occasions to make sure everything would fit and the Builder had everything within tolerance. We love the great choice of materials available. We had another well-known German kitchen in our previous home & the quality of our new one comparable except in cost. We love our unique designer kitchen & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Derek & the team to anyone!

Paul, Derek and the team at Kitchen Lifestyles did a wonderful job both designing and installing a kitchen and utility room that more than meets our needs at a very reasonable price. This was part of a larger building project, and they worked collaboratively to our schedule and various adjustments along the way. The installation was quick and seamless. We really enjoyed the process and would happily use them again in the future.

Derek was brilliant from start to finish. The quality of the kitchen is unmatchable but affordable at the same time. The delivery team were great too, will definitely be using again in the future.

What an amazing professional experience from start to finish. From meeting Paul at the showroom, whom advised and listened to our needs. So helpful, and making sure we were happy with the choices we made and the changes that were made from start to finish from ordering. Then meeting Derek and his team of tradesmen, whom guided us and arranged the finer details of whom was coming when. The finish of our Kitchen and design is superb, their communication brilliant, the quality outstanding. They truly are a company who make sure your experience is all you could wish for and that you are happy. So thankyou to Paul, Derek , Andrew and all your team, its been a pleasure working with you and having you in our home.

It was a collaborative process from start to finish. Paul opened his showroom especially to suit our availability and improved upon our initial design ideas. They were also flexible with delivery as our kitchen had to match our build sequence. Derek made an excellent job of the installation and proactively solved a couple of interface issues with our builder. Also he rectified, without fuss or question, a couple of factory defects. I would definitely recommend Paul & Derek and have in fact suggested that my daughter gets her new kitchen through Kitchen Lifestyles

Like others, we spent a lot of time looking at various kitchens supplied by well known UK suppliers and then…. we stumbled upon Kitchen Lifestyles who specialise in high quality German brands. Upon meeting Paul, one of the partners and lead designer, we realised that the products and design service being offered was going to be far superior and personal. Rather than create a design that filled our small kitchen and utility rooms with the maximum amount of units (with maximum profit), Paul concentrated on designing a stunning, functional space that would suit our requirements, which was subsequently discussed in-house a few days later. During the home visit we met Derek, the other partner, responsible for project management and fitting. Right from the start, Derek impressed us with his knowledge and honest no-nonsense approach, (without which, due to fitting problems) this project might have suffered. All-in-all we are very happy with the end result and would highly recommend Kitchen Lifestyles and suggest that people avoid the larger kitchen companies who offer big discounts at the expense of personal service and attention to detail.

We have just had our kitchen completely gutted and refitted by Kitchen Lifestyles. The service from the start was excellent. The kitchen Derek designed has made such good use of what is essentially a small room, the project management was flawless, and Paul in the showroom was spot on with his suggestions gor appliances and very small tweaks to utilise even just a few more inches of space. The kitchen itself is infinitely better than those we saw in other outlets. It's almost too nice to use! I would thoroughly recommend the team to anyone considering the upheaval of renovating their kitchen you wont be disappointed at the professional and courteous service you will receive!

Kitchen Lifestyles really went above and beyond, both in terms of the design - patiently presenting multiple options, carefully tailoring the plan to the client’s taste and preferences, and providing plenty of good advice - as well as the installation. Timelines were clear, and respected. Derek’s tireless attention to detail, punctuality, calm temperament and expertise were an asset to the project. Very happy with both the quality and aesthetic of the end result, and highly recommend!

After visiting kitchen lifestyles showroom where we met Derek and Paul who were very helpful and explained all about the German kitchens and all different options Derek and Paul planned our new kitchen and Derek installed it his work is outstanding and he was very clean and tidy very punctual polite would highly recommend them showroom is definitely worth a visit

I first made contact with Derek in 2021 when he guided and helped us with planning a new kitchen. He is unflustered and has an excellent work ethic. I had no hesitation making contact with Derek again last year when we planned a new annexe. He invited me to the gorgous new Kitchen Lifestyles showroom and explained all the options available to me. Paul was involved with design recommendation which we adopted with a few minor tweaks. Once again Derek rose to the challenge. Derek had to work around some challenges which he dealt with very ably. Nothing was too much trouble. I love the German kitchens supplied by Kitchen Lifestyles. Nothing was too much trouble for Derek or Paul. They were patient with me. Derek treated our space with respect. The space was always clean and tidy before he left. Derek's work eithic is exemplary. He works with precision. The timing of everything from concept to ordering, ordering to delivery and delivery to installation was like good German timekeeping and perfection. Thank you Paul and Derek for a beautiful 5* kitchen!

Just had a kitchen supplied and fitted by kitchen lifestyles. Absolutely over the moon with our new kitchen. The whole team was so helpful from start to finish. Thanks again!

Our decision to use Derek to project manage the supply and installation of our new kitchen came after weeks of visiting the the glitzy showrooms of some of the larger kitchen companies and being bombarded with seductive offers of the buy one get one free variety. During this process we learned that the most important element was the skill and application of the person responsible for the fitting of the kitchen. Derek impressed us from the outset with his knowledge, attention to detail and obvious honesty. At no point during the project did we have reason to doubt those qualities.This was no easy job - a small kitchen with lots of “stuff” crammed into it. There were some unforeseen difficulties along the way but each was quickly dealt with in Derek’s accustomed unflustered manner. He was always punctual and deadlines were met unless there was a good reason. Throughout the installation he was invariably cheerful and never lost his sense of humour. Finally we could not be happier with the results of his efforts together with the quality of the kitchen units and appliances. If we could offer one other piece of advice - before investing a substantial amount of money with one of the big boys, go online and look at the reviews left by other clients.

Excellent professional service. We used Derek to fit our new kitchen and the overall service and workmanship was top notch. Lots of helpful advice and dialogue throughout the fitting process too. Highly recommend.
