Hi Amanda - Many thanks for your work to date in designing, supplying and installing our new kitchen and utility room. We couldn't be happier with the results of your work and your professional and patient approach to the process.

We looked at many high-end kitchens before spotting the Ernestomeda range in the studio and we instantly knew it was for us. The design and quality of the products have certainly lived up to expectations.

Amanda has also helped produce an elegant design for the utility room which was not the biggest of spaces but once again we are very happy with the end result.

We look forward to working further with you on our bedroom designs!

We’re so pleased with our new kitchen.
I first went to Amanda at Icon with a design for a new kitchen which I had done myself.
Both myself and my wife work in quite a creative industry and so thought our design skills were good, however Amanda managed to re-design into a much more usable space and after seeing the display kitchens in the showroom even our ideas of styles, colours and finishes changed as we hadn’t seen anything like them in other kitchen design showrooms.
We’ve had a few friends who also have had fairly recent kitchen re-vamps and with us knowing we were about to have our own done I've taken an interest in theirs.
There is so much variance in the quality of kitchens and now ours is finished I can definitely say it is of very high quality.

Great, friendly service from Amanda and her team. Needed a slight redesign halfway through the process, due to a change in our building work, but Amanda dealt with this brilliantly. Fitters did a great job as well, couldn’t be happier with our new kitchen.

Amanda and Gaby made the kitchen buying experience a real pleasure. The quality of the Stosa product really drew me in, I fell in love with it when I first popped in to the showroom. We had a lot of back and forth with design ideas, Amanda was very patient and accommodating- she worked really hard to fit in everything I wanted and made excellent suggestions. Everyone, including my builders, has commented on what good quality the kitchen is. I'm so happy with it, it's the best room in the house!

I knew Amanda would do a great job from first walking into her showroom! You can tell that she loves her job and takes both design and practicality really seriously. Just the fact that her kitchen displays not only look swish, but some are fully functional too is a great testament to this. My husband and I sampled some delicious cookies accompanied by perfect cappuccinos during our consultations – all created on-site by Amanda’s fair hand. Simply delicious!

From the outset, she listened to our needs carefully and produced 2 different designs, within our budget. Then very patiently offered further advice and tweaked the chosen design until we were completely happy with it - even altering a small part of the spec mid-way through installation, without additional charge. The specification drawn up for our builders was comprehensive and ensured our electricians and plumbers worked seamlessly with Icon’s own installation team.

The end result is exactly as we envisaged and both looks and works a treat. We’d have no hesitation in recommending award winning Icon to you for a personal and professional service – five stars for you Amanda ☺
