Kitchen design in Łódź
Show me your kitchen floor plan. In 30 minutes I'll tell you whether an island will fit.
The kitchen is the most expensive piece of furniture in your home and the place where you take hundreds of steps a day. So I start with ergonomics and storage, and we choose the colour of the fronts last.

What clients most often come with
Three situations that start most kitchen projects in Łódź.
A work triangle that works
A fridge, sink and hob in the wrong places mean hundreds of unnecessary steps a day. I arrange the zones: storage → washing → prep → cooking — in that order.
Storage without upper cabinets?
Pull-out drawers, tall units and organizers can hold more than classic cabinets. I design the cabinetry around your actual supplies and appliances.
Documentation for the carpenter and crew
The kitchen is the most expensive piece of furniture in your home. Construction drawings with dimensions, electrics and plumbing eliminate costly surprises during installation.
Island kitchen design
5 things you need to know
How much space does an island need
The minimum is about 3.5–4 m of room width: an island 80–100 cm deep plus 100–120 cm of clearance on every working side. Less than that? A peninsula will serve you better.
Work island or bar island
An island with a hob or sink needs floor installations — a decision made before the screed is poured. A bar island with seating is cheaper and more flexible.
Extractor and ventilation above the island
A hob in the island means an island hood, ceiling hood or downdraft extractor. Each has different installation requirements — we settle this at the documentation stage.
Zoned lighting
Task lighting under the cabinets, pendants over the island and general lighting — three circuits, controlled separately. The kitchen works for cooking and for dinner alike.
The island as a boundary between zones
In an open-plan living space, the island naturally separates cooking from relaxing — without building walls. I design the living-room side of the island like a piece of living-room furniture.
Will an island fit in your kitchen? We find out at the 2D functional layout stage: I prepare 2–3 variants and we choose the best one together.

Process
How a kitchen design comes together
Seven stages, and at each one you know what you get and what comes next.
Project kick-off and site survey
We start with a conversation about your needs, lifestyle and budget. You fill in a short design questionnaire, then I visit the site — taking precise measurements, photo documentation and analyzing the existing installations. The design is based on real data, not the developer's floor plan.
You get: design brief + measurement documentation + installation map
Material selection and moodboard
Based on the brief, I prepare a moodboard with specific finishing materials, furniture and lighting — across several price ranges. If needed, I arrange a showroom visit so you can see and touch the materials before deciding.
You get: moodboard + material list with price alternatives
2D functional layout
I develop several 2D layout options with furniture, built-ins and appliances. Each version is a different way to divide and use the space. Together we choose the best layout and approve it before moving on to visualizations.
You get: 2–3 versions of 2D floor plans + an approved final layout
3D visualizations and AI animation
I create photorealistic visualizations of every room with the exact materials, furniture and lighting specified in the design. The Premium package includes an AI animation showing your interior in motion.
You get: photorealistic renders of every room (+ AI animation in the Premium package)
Technical documentation and cost estimate
I compile complete documentation for the renovation crew: wall drawings with dimensions, electrical and plumbing diagrams, and a full material specification with prices. Plus a cost estimate, so you know what everything will cost before work begins.
You get: construction drawings + material specification + cost estimate
Realization coordination
I join the meeting with your renovation crew — walking them through the design, answering technical questions and making sure the contractors understand every detail. This eliminates errors caused by on-site improvisation.
You get: contractor meeting report + list of execution notes
Room styling
I visit the finished space and help with the final arrangement of furniture, decor and accent lighting. For those who want the end result to look exactly like the visualizations.
You get: an interior styled exactly to the design and visualizations

Frequently asked questions about kitchen design
How much does a kitchen design cost?
It depends on the floor area and scope: layout and visualizations only, or full carpenter-ready documentation with realization coordination. After looking at your floor plan at a free project quote, I'll give you an exact figure for your kitchen.
Will an island fit in my kitchen?
The realistic minimum is about 3.5–4 m of kitchen zone width. If there's less — I design a peninsula, which delivers 80% of an island's benefits with smaller requirements. The 2D functional layout shows it in black and white.
Do you work with carpenters?
The technical documentation is prepared so any carpenter can quote and build the cabinetry from it. I can also review the contractor quotes you receive.
How long does a kitchen design take?
A single-room design usually takes 2–3 weeks in the Basic or Standard package, depending on the number of revision rounds.
Open or closed kitchen?
It depends on your lifestyle: how often you cook, whether you host guests, how much quiet matters. We go through these questions at the initial call — and 3D visualizations show both scenarios before you decide.
