bespoke kitchen, bathroom and spatial design in colchester and beyond

Hello! I am Sandy and I am Sandy Armitage Designs. Thank you for visiting my website.

I am a professional freelance designer based in Colchester specialising in kitchens and bathrooms. I often describe myself as a spatial designer and interior architect.  I transform living spaces.

Whether you are looking to incorporate something truly unique for bespoke carpenters to build; design a pre-loved kitchen to fit into your space, or design ideas to enable you to buy something new off-the-shelf, I work closely with you to give you the benefit of my creative design solutions. I aim for intriguing solutions using ingenuity and innovation from 40 years of enthusiastic professional design experience.  

I also 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.

environmentally sustainable design principles

I am so proud and delighted to have been chosen by the British Institute of KBB Installation as the winner of the Environmental Champion of the Year Award 2024.

Sustainability and the impact of design on the environment is at the heart of my design ethic.  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’.

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.

clear presentation

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

But my design scope is not limited to bespoke kitchens and bathrooms.  I can design any area of your home.

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 possibly a 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, compared to a specific 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.  

And whether you are local to Colchester or further afield, through the wonders of technology, I can effectively provide my services wherever your home is situated.

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.
