SANDY ARMITAGE Designs … Kitchens. Bathrooms. Spaces. 

I am a professional freelance kitchen and bathroom designer based in Colchester, Essex. I often describe myself as a spatial designer and interior architect.  Primarily, I design transformational living spaces for homeowners. Through distance design, I can effectively provide my services wherever your home is situated. 

Whether you are looking to incorporate something truly unique for bespoke carpenters to build, or design ideas to enable you to buy off-the-shelf, I work closely with you to give you the benefit of my creative design solutions that are tailored for you; solutions with ingenuity and innovation always in mind, borne of 40 years of enthusiastic professional design experience.  

I understand many structural design possibilities to show you how your home could be transformed by intuitive and tailored design that encompasses vision, creativity and individuality as well as practicality, timelessness, style and heart.

I often incorporate biophilic design principles, proven to increase our levels of empathy and happiness by connecting your space to nature through light, colour, shape, texture and botanicals. It’s especially significant for kitchen / living space designs when creating the hub of the home where every social interaction happens.

Expect me to advise on sustainable products such as recycled worktops, the reuse of your existing furniture, or on incorporating other pre-loved units. Think of it as ‘transforming your space without costing the earth’. The impact of design on the environment is a particular interest of mine and there is more about this below.  But my design scope is not limited to bespoke kitchens and bathrooms.  I can design any area of your home.

I offer you experience and knowledgeable design possibilities, presented in a combination of plans, drawings and computer aided design visuals as each situation requires, including making your design ‘architect ready’, should that be necessary.

Why pay for design, and why choose me?  

Never underestimate the positive impact of good design. Having a professional design for your space, before spending a possibly-considerable sum on products, can potentially save you money by identifying alternative cost-saving options and solutions, as well as avoiding design pitfalls. It provides a considered and imaginative design-led approach, helping you see potentially multiple solutions, rather than a product-led plan.   

I am proud to have been complimented on my ability to listen so you can be sure that I will tailor my design to your tastes and needs; a design that shows you how your space will work, how it will flow and function on all levels, and how it will ‘feel’ – often with surprise solutions – but always with substance.

What you are guaranteed, with any job I undertake, is an experienced, conscientious and competent service that goes the extra mile, as well as an emotional investment, in striving for the right outcome, doing my utmost to integrate your ideas and wishes, seeking structures to enhance workflow, storage, and effective space management.  

My aim is to help you see the possibility of how your space can be transformed to make it look, feel and function like your ideal home. Don’t be surprised for this to go beyond your expectations.  Your home, designed for you. Uniquely.
