About us

About Kitchen Planning Haven

Kitchen Planning Haven provides independent kitchen planning, design and buying advice. This helps homeowners across Ireland make informed decisions before choosing a supplier.

Stepping into a showroom consultation often means your design is shaped by that supplier's products and ranges. Independent planning starts with choosing the supplier that fits your plan — not the other way around.

Our consultants guide you through the process, from initial planning concept and layout to supplier selection and installation planning. Our goal is to simplify the journey, helping you avoid costly mistakes, save time, and create a kitchen tailored to your home, lifestyle and budget.

Before your consultation

How to measure your kitchen

You do not need an architect's drawing. A simple sketch and a handful of measurements is usually all we need to get started.

  1. Sketch your kitchen A rough sketch is fine — it does not need to be to scale. Mark the general location of windows, doorways, your sink and appliances.
  2. Measure the walls Measure each wall where cabinets may go, corner to corner, and note the width of any doors, windows or obstacles.
  3. Measure the ceiling height Measure floor to ceiling. Older homes can be uneven, so take a reading at a few points around the room.
  4. Locate your utilities Note the position of plumbing services, waste, gas and electrical outlets on your sketch.
  5. Take photos Photograph the space, including a view of every wall. These help our consultants visualise your room.
Send us your measurements

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

No. You do not need an architect's drawing to get started. Room measurements or a simple sketch and wishlist will usually be enough.

We aim to deliver your completed kitchen plan, drawings and 3D visualisations within 5 working days of receiving your measurements and wishlist.

No. Kitchen Planning Haven gives you the freedom to use any supplier of your choosing, with a personalised kitchen design and plan already in hand.

Sketch the room, measure each wall and the ceiling height, note where your plumbing and electrics are, and take a few photos. Our step-by-step guide walks you through all five steps — see how to measure your kitchen.

Our planning consultation is €99 and our complete design package is €299, both fixed price with no hourly billing. That is separate from the cost of the kitchen itself, which you pay to whichever supplier you choose — we help you compare those quotations rather than supply the kitchen ourselves.

A showroom designs your kitchen around the products that showroom sells. We do not sell kitchens, so your design is shaped by your room, your lifestyle and your budget instead. You then take that plan to any supplier you like and compare them on equal terms.

Everything is done online. Your consultation is a one-to-one video call, and you send us your measurements, sketch and photographs beforehand. There is no showroom visit and no home visit required.

Yes. We work with homeowners across the whole of Ireland. Because consultations are held online, where you live makes no difference to the service or the price.

A rough sketch of the room, the length of each wall, your ceiling height, the position of your plumbing and electrics, and a few photographs. A wishlist of what you want from the kitchen helps too. Our measuring guide covers all of it.

Yes. You have 14 days from the day your booking is confirmed to cancel without giving a reason, as set out in our terms and conditions. If you ask us to start within those 14 days, you keep the right to cancel until the service has been fully delivered.
