EXPERT KITCHEN DESIGN CONSULTANCY
FOR
NEW BUILDS, EXTENSIONS AND REMODELING PROJECTS

Hello,
I’m Alina Tacutanu, founder and designer of Kitchen Reflection.
Your personal design resource.
After completing a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics and Management, I spent 20 years shaping a career in the luxury kitchen industry, holding senior roles in design, sales, and management with some of the UK’s most respected kitchen brands.
With a natural ability to understand how clients live and what they truly value, I founded Kitchen Reflection in 2023 to offer a considered, independent approach to kitchen design—redefining the kitchen-buying experience.
Now, I provide a highly personalised service, guiding clients from the very earliest stages of a project through every decision with clarity and confidence. By collaborating closely with architects, suppliers, tradespeople, and partners across the UK, I ensure each kitchen is thoughtfully designed, technically precise, and perfectly aligned with clients personality and lifestyle.
With extensive expertise in design, materials, manufacturers, suppliers, and architectural and technical drawings, I am well-versed in the principles of design concept, proportion, light, symmetry, and balance. Fully informed on current market trends and regularly attending industry events, I translate clients requirements into a kitchen that is both exquisitely beautiful and effortlessly functional.

A smart investment that minimises unforeseen issues during the project while maximising your design and layout options.
Please reach us at alina@kitchenreflection.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Every project I undertake is unique, which is why Kitchen Reflection’s fees are tailored to the scope and complexity of each commission. Costs are determined by the level of design support required, the size of the space, and the stage at which I become involved.
My service is offered as a transparent, fixed design consultancy fee, agreed in advance. This is an investment that often pays for itself through the clarity, confidence, and cost efficiencies it delivers.
From the outset of your project, you receive comprehensive, expert guidance. This may include collaboration with your architect to refine drawings where required, along with informed advice on layout and planning, materials, cabinetry, finishes, appliances, worktops, lighting, colour palettes, mood boards, and budget alignment.
Your design is presented through a considered and detailed design package, including drawings, elevations, perspectives, and a complete design presentation—bringing your vision to life and ensuring every decision is informed, cohesive, and aligned with your expectations.
Kitchen Reflection is entirely independent. I am not tied to any single brand, showroom, or manufacturer, which means every recommendation I make is guided solely by your best interests—not sales targets.
You explain your needs once. From there, I provide clear, considered guidance that cuts through complexity, helping you focus on what truly matters for your space, lifestyle, and budget. This clarity saves time, reduces stress, and helps avoid costly mistakes.
Every project is personally led by me, Alina Tacutanu, founder and lead designer. This ensures continuity, discretion, and a highly personalised experience throughout. From early planning and architectural coordination to supplier alignment, I design your kitchen as an integral part of your home—not an afterthought.
Most importantly, Kitchen Reflection empowers you to make confident, informed decisions, resulting in a kitchen that is beautifully designed, technically sound, and a true reflection of how you live.
Put my experience, knowledge and passion to work for you.
