Most open-plan kitchen projects in Solihull start with the same challenge —
how to bring kitchen, dining, and living areas together without losing functionality.

Whether you're planning an extension or reconfiguring your existing layout,
the success of the space depends on how well it is planned before any building work begins.

I specialise in space planning and layout design, helping you explore the best possible configurations for your home — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Open-plan kitchen design in Solihull typically includes:

  • Reconfiguring layouts for extensions and renovations

  • Creating functional kitchen–dining–living zones

  • Optimising circulation and flow between areas

  • Designing kitchen layouts with islands and storage

  • Planning layouts before structural changes

Beyond layout, the design stage can also include:

  • Concept design — defining the overall look, style, and atmosphere of the space

  • Material and finish selection — cabinetry, worktops, flooring, and colour palettes

  • Lighting design — planning functional and ambient lighting across zones

  • Furniture and fixture selection — ensuring consistency and practicality

For projects that require detailed execution:

  • Technical drawings for builders

  • Electrical and lighting plans

  • Joinery design and detailing

  • Specifications for materials, fixtures, and finishes

Each project can be tailored depending on how much support you need — from layout-only planning to a complete design and technical package.

Layout first — before design decisions

Before choosing finishes or furniture, I focus on:

  • How the space works

  • How you move through it

  • How each zone connects

This ensures your open-plan space is not only beautiful — but practical, comfortable, and efficient to live in every day.

    — Kristina Y.

  • "Alekseeva Design has given me expert advice and assistance on various aspects of my home, including the redecoration of my kitchen and snug, plus help in a newbuild part of our house, the garden room. With each project, Alekseeva Design worked very quickly and efficiently, giving me various ideas of colour, suggested room layout as well as furniture and accessory purchase. She works professionally but with a friendly, gentle manner. I highly recommend Alekseeva Design for internal home design." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    — Lorraine K.

  • "The whole design process was clearly explained and very easy to follow. Tetiana really listened to what I wanted and translated it beautifully into the final concept. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail and how thoughtfully the textures were combined." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    — Grace K.

  • "I’ve had a really positive experience working with Tetiana so far. She’s taken my needs seriously throughout and has given me a clear direction for what to do with my property, which has been incredibly helpful. 2 weeks in and I’ve already flipped my kitchen door! The value for money is genuinely hard to beat. If you avoid just one wrong purchase (furniture, appliance, or otherwise) the service already pays for itself. The project isn’t fully complete yet, but I’m already very happy with how things have gone and would definitely recommend her." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
