The Designer


Hello, 


 

I’m Alina Tacutanu, founder and designer of Kitchen Reflection.


With over 20 years of experience in the luxury kitchen industry and a degree in Business, Economics and Management, I have worked with some of the UK’s most respected kitchen brands in senior design, sales and management roles.


In 2023, I founded Kitchen Reflection to offer something different: an independent, highly personalised approach to kitchen design that places the client’s needs at the centre of every decision.


 Working closely with homeowners, architects, suppliers and specialist trades across the UK, I guide each project from the earliest planning stages through to completion. By carefully considering layout, functionality, craftsmanship and detail from the outset, I ensure every kitchen is thoughtfully designed to become a true reflection of its owner’s lifestyle and personality. 


My role is to bring clarity, expertise and confidence to the process, creating kitchens that are both beautifully considered and effortlessly functional.

    Help & Answers

    Please reach me at alina@kitchenreflection.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    Every Kitchen Reflection project is unique, with fees tailored to the scope, complexity, and stage of involvement. Costs are based on the level of design support required and the size of the space. 


    Services are offered as a transparent, fixed design consultancy fee, agreed in advance—an investment that consistently pays for itself through cost efficiencies. 


    From the outset, you receive comprehensive expert guidance, including architectural coordination where required, layout planning, material and finish selection, appliances, lighting, colour direction, and budget alignment. Your design is delivered through a refined design package of drawings, elevations, perspectives, and a complete presentation, ensuring every decision is informed and clearly defined.

    Kitchen Reflection is entirely independent, with no alignment to any single brand, showroom, or manufacturer, ensuring that every recommendation 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—saving time, reducing stress, and avoiding costly mistakes.


    Every project is personally led by me, Alina Tacutanu, ensuring continuity, discretion, and a highly personalised approach. From early planning through to supplier coordination, your kitchen is designed as an integral part of your home, resulting in a space that is beautifully considered, technically precise, and a true reflection of how you live.

    Absolutely! I review the plans provided by your architect, identify any changes needed to accommodate the design, and advise on adjustments to ensure the layout, dimensions, and functionality are perfect. I then collaborate directly with your architect to implement these changes, making sure the design is seamless and fully coordinated. This way, the design and layout becomes a carefully considered part of the home—not an afterthought. 

    Yes—alongside kitchens, I also design pantries, boot rooms, bathrooms, offices, snug and tv rooms, dressing rooms.

    I prioritize real results over social media presence.
