The Minerva kitchen design process

We aim to make your Minerva experience as seamless as possible, from your first design meeting to the final touches in your bespoke kitchen. We have broken down kitchen design process into four straight forward stages: design, measure, craft, and fitting to give you an idea of your Minerva journey.

DESIGN

The first stage in every kitchen journey is design. Most of our clients start with a visit to either of our showrooms. You don't have to book an appointment but we do recommend it so you are guaranteed a time slot.

One of our experienced designers will then guide you around our showroom, explaining our kitchen collections, paint palette and bespoke details whilst answering any questions you may have!.

Your showroom visit lets our designers discover what you want from kitchen style and design layout to storage solutions and cabinetry colour. After your initial design meeting, our team will work with you to develop your project and produce 3D renders of your final design. Once you have settled on your initial kitchen design, we move on to our next steps!

MEASURE

Once all your decisions have been made and plans have been finalised, we will start turning your design into reality. Our experienced CAD technician will visit your home to take detailed site measurements and survey the space. When we have all the site measurements, a complete set of detailed plans and elevations will be produced and sent to our local workshops, where our skilled workshop team can begin crafting your kitchen.

CRAFT

Our highly skilled team will take the final plans and start sawing, cutting, planing, sanding, dovetailing, and seamlessly handcrafting your cabinets to perfection. After your kitchen cabinetry has been crafted, it moves into our spray booth, where it all gets painted in your choice of cabinetry colour. Once painted, we prep your cabinetry for its new home. On average, our workshop process can take two weeks before it is ready for installation.

FITTING

From workshop to home. Our trained and experienced fitters will deliver and install your kitchen. On average, it can take up to two weeks to fully fit your project, including a specialist team installing your worktops. Fitting by our team is optional; however, it is highly recommended. No matter how good at fitting flat-pack furniture you are, there is no wiggle room for error, and we want you to avoid damaging your new kitchen.

If you have chosen our team to fit your kitchen, all of our handmade cabinets come with a 15-year guarantee!
