Pauline Ribbans Design - Kitchen Designer

Pauline was very professional in her approach to my project. She was also able to adapt things to suit my situation, which was great, and she ensured the project came in on budget.

Pauline is clever. She designed a kitchen for us to replace our existing one and it actually enhances my happiness every day. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She saw beyond our existing confines and has used the space in a way that I never would have imagined. She has incorporated really clever ideas to make our kitchen easy to use, and with a space for everything. Her knowledge of joinery, current products and up to date design ideas is outstanding. She considers not just the kitchen design but also how it relates to you and your family. Pauline is a considerate, hard-working professional who goes out of her way to get you the best results.

Pauline assisted us with the design process for our kitchen re-design and study. From the beginning when she met us, she listened to our needs and wishes in both designs. Pauline was always really thorough with her drawings and outlines and took the time to go through the ins and outs of the plans. Ultimately we are so happy with the finished projects -they are so functional and workable for our family. We love it and would highly recommend Paulines services.

We had been wanting to renovate our kitchen for some time but couldn't come up with a suitable design. Pauline listened to what we were after and had many great suggestions to make our kitchen an attractive, practical and functional workspace. I would recommend Pauline to anyone who is considering renovating or designing a kitchen.

Pauline has come up with an amazing renovation/design for a restricted space that has confounded others. A highly professional person, who has given us design options, as well as good advice. We are now proceeding, and looking forward to a new kitchen.

Eighteen months ago Pauline assisted us to design our new kitchen. We found Pauline to be very skilled and knowledgeable and she was able to take our rough sketches and ideas and turn them into a set of beautiful, functional plans. Pauline was great at listening to what we wanted, which was important to us. But what was really helpful, was that she also suggested design features we hadn't thought of. Her ideas on placement and layout were excellent - something I only really appreciated after our beautiful kitchen was completed and we were using it.

We had quite definite ideas of the style of kitchen we wanted when we approached Pauline Ribbans/Mattews Joinery. The process we went through to make sure we achieved the feel and look we wanted, combined with the practicalities for workflow, of our fabulous kitchen was meticulous. We absolutely love our kitchen!

A huge Thank You to Pauline Ribbans for guiding us through our first foray into renovating! We sent Pauline a photo of the type of bathroom we liked, which she then skilfully adapted to suit our space and style. We have ended up with an abundance of storage, and the layout functions extremely well for our family. We moved on to the kitchen, which I thought would be quite a design challenge given our list of non-negotiable inclusions to be fitted in to the existing space. Pauline presented us with 3 excellent options that had everything we had asked for, plus extras. The design we chose is a very considered space, making work in the kitchen so much more efficient. We are currently waiting for some built-in shelving units to be completed for our lounge. This project seemed to be so easy now that we have been through the design process a couple of times with Pauline. She quickly determined the look and design of the units to suit the room, and sent through a design that we agreed was right, first time. We will soon be putting Pauline through her paces again when we do a re-build of our laundry and new powder-room in the new year. Pauline's understanding of our needs has produced very functional, quality areas in our home that we love living with every single day.

Pauline did an excellent job designing my kitchen. The end result was really beautiful. I'd certainly recommend her. She was great to work with.

Pauline came up with a cheap solution to a problem that I hadn't been able to work out in 6 months. The end result turned a small kitchen into a great looking, extremely functional kitchen with larger floor space.

Pauline designed our kitchen and two bathrooms. Her knowledge of these areas and ability to find practical solutions was valuable for us as this was our first time renovating. Pauline was easy to talk to and accommodated our wishes whenever it was possible. Overall, we were very happy with the service provided by Pauline.

Pauline has a remarkable gift for being able to visualise a space and work with it - in our case without even actually seeing the room as it hadn't yet been built! She was thorough in considering our needs and building these into her plans and very open to our input, but appropriately - and kindly! - able to challenge us when her experience suggested that some of our ideas might not optimise the space. Highly recommended!
