Bathroom vanity sizes: what fits and what to avoid
Garden Route homes are moving towards softer colours. Sage green, warm grey and cream with oak are the ones we are asked for most. Navy still has its fans, but it works best with a light worktop and good lighting.
Bring us a photo of your room and we will suggest a palette that suits the light. You can also browse our kitchen colour ideas to see finished jobs, or read on for the colours we are fitting this season.
Most people expect a cupboard maker to start with a catalogue. We start with a tape measure and one plain question about how you cook. Our design visit in George covers walls, plumbing and light before we draw anything.
Then we draw the layout, choose boards and doors with you, and give you a fixed price. Nothing is cut until you are happy with every measurement on the page.
Every job starts with a site visit where we check walls, floors and plumbing points. Many George homes have walls that are not quite square, so we measure each corner twice and write it down. That is how the doors end up fitting without gaps.
Second, we keep the drawings simple. Share your must haves, like a pantry or a tall broom cupboard, and we will fit them in. For bigger projects, a short call with our installer before ordering saves time later.

Of course, a few simple rules keep every kitchen job on track:
Measure first: we check every wall before any boards are ordered.
Choose finishes: hold sample doors up in your own light at home.
Fix the budget: you get one written price, with no surprises later.
Plan the day: installation usually takes three to five days.
