The Designer
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, and extensive expertise in design, materials, craftsmanship, manufacturers, and technical drawings , I launched Kitchen Reflection in 2023 to offer a considered, independent approach to kitchen design—redefining the kitchen-buying experience.
Today, I provide a highly personalised service, guiding clients from the earliest stages of a project through every decision with clarity and confidence. Working closely with architects, suppliers, and specialist trades across the UK, I ensure each kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with layout options reviewed early to ensure key elements are perfectly positioned from the start.
