At Kitchen and Home Sketch Designs we are more than just kitchen and bathroom renovations, we can renovate your entire house!
We are the fresh eyes looking at the old bones with a new and exciting vision.
This home with generous living and private rooms, was in disrepair at the rear with a small 1980's kitchen, odd internal laundry and a bathroom and toilet accessed from outside but a trek away from the bedroom upstairs. Handy for its beach side position but not comfortable for its twenty first century artists' lifestyle.
SUNBIRDAnne’s idea was to open the whole area, creating one large living and dining area, but how to arrange the kitchen within that space for maximum functionality. I was able to assimilate this, make several suggestions on the theme, talk through the options with some arm waving to aid the visualisations. Then I produced the detailed drawings which evoking great interest for the tradesmen.

Karen required assistance with designing the kitchen. As it is in the center of the house and is open to a large family area choices of materials was important for aesthetics. The stunning choice of tiles and appliances and the open layout has come up not only looking a treat but now functions brilliantly in the production of some amazing and delicious treats too.

Solutions were presented to the client to assist traffic by entering between kitchen and dining, to use cavity sliding doors where possible giving a spacious appearance and to provide more storage.

"Margot went above and beyond when redesigning our kitchen and living areas. She provided a number of different layouts, each with their own considerations. She thought of things we never considered! She was extremely professional but approachable in all of her dealings with us. We can't thank you enough for the inspiration Margot!"

I recommend the skills and ability of Margot Kirke for kitchen/bathroom and home sketch designs. We have used Margot's services to draw up plans for us on two occasions. Several years ago Margot designed a kitchen renovation for us and this year we used her services for a bathroom renovation. There were significant benefits in having plans drawn up for both these renovations.

"Thank you for your initial help with our kitchen. The suggestions you
made, especially the pull out pantry, has made our kitchen more efficient and we seem
to have so much more room. Having our own plans gave us an advantage when
asking for quotes, we are so pleased with the final product."

It was great to have Margot help plan our new kitchen. She was easy to work with and very enthusiastic for our new room.
Margot has great ideas and listened to my needs. As the hub of activities the kitchen is our favourite room and now a pleasure to work in. Margot ensured there was plenty of storage and bench space where I need it.
I love my kitchen I love showing it off to friends and family with pride.

Margot is a creative and lateral-thinking kitchen/laundry designer. She assisted us in conceptualising and drafting our kitchen renovation and extension. Margot was such a help in coming up with a range of creative ideas – taking us to a new level in our design. I really appreciated her woman’s eye of attention to the detail and function of design.
Additionally we really valued her enthusiasm for the project and her capacity to hang in until we were happy. She is so reasonably priced, prompt, always pleasant and friendly and fun to design with.

Margot is a friendly and accommodating person, and did a great job understanding our needs to come up with creative ideas and designs. We wanted to change the layout of our three bedroom house (from 1963) to better suit our family's needs, and the design Margot developed was great. Thanks again for your great work.

Margot was fantastic to work with—she was so enthusiastic for our house when we were despairing of ever being able to enjoy our teenagers here. The house had been ideal when our three were little but we had grown out of it.
With the changes Margot suggested, we now we can not only enjoy the real indoor-outdoor in our kitchen, family room and study, with the sun flooding into the areas we are living in most of the time, our heating bills have plummeted - passive solar at its best.
The construction is so well matched that once I have the deck, lawn and garden established it will be hard hot the think these rooms were always here! We have sanity back in our home—thank you Margot.

The old layout and decor of our 1980's kitchen was not practical or functional. There was lots of wasted space, dead corners and we had no idea where to commence with redesigning. I love to cook but this kitchen did not encourage me.
Margot had great suggestions, in a timely manor, the value for money great and quality of the plans outstanding. Having the plans we were able to compare quotes from cabinet makers, purchase appliances etc. with confidence.
I commend Kitchen and Home Sketch Designs to anyone looking to do a renovation or new kitchen.

“Margot Kirke consulted with my husband and myself when we extended our solar powered, sustainable house in Gippsland, Victoria.
Her fresh approach enabled us to fully utilise the spatial limitations, and enhance the appearance and ambiance of our design to give us more usable space.
Her insightful concept drawings were used by the builder to fully utilise the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and WIR space in the house. Margot listened and clarified our ideas to contribute to a fantastic design.
Margot fully conceptualised our design thoughts and requirements. We wholeheartedly recommend Margot for any building design needs."

A huge thank you to Margot from Kitchen and Home Sketch Designs for her service and support in creating a beautiful yet functional plan for our home renovation/addition. Margot got to know our family, our lifestyle, and our values, and then took our design brief and came up with more ideas than we could have ever imagined. She brought lots of experience and advice to the process, particularly when it came to functionality, the best use of space, and natural light. Margot gave consideration in her design for the beautiful views of our property, and the position of high traffic areas in relation to bedrooms. Margot is genuine, professional, helpful, knowledgable, and had amazing communication. The whole process was fun and easy, and we are incredibly happy with the result.
