About GVS Design Company - freelance and independent professional kitchen designer based in Dorset.

It's more than just kitchen planning ...


GVS Design Company is owned and run by Dorset based freelance kitchen designer Graham Vandeleur-Smith.

Graham Vandeleur-Smith has been designing kitchens from Dorset for over 25 years and gained his knowledge whilst working with well known very high quality bespoke & handmade furniture manufacturers.

Graham has written numerous articles on kitchen design and planning for the Dorset Magazine and is fully experienced in both design and project management of the kitchen installation.

His expertise is invaluable if you are considering either changing your kitchen or building an extension or new home.  The Channel 4 programme Grand Designs featured The Penthouse in Bournemouth and GVS Design Company provided the kitchen design plan and drawings for this project. 

"I design kitchens mainly for private clients but also provide an independent kitchen design service for the clients of a Dorset Kitchen company called Handmadekitchens-direct. My full kitchen design and planning service is available throughout the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and France.

As I don't sell the furniture, appliances or worktops, nor do I supply the relevent trades for the installation, I can give you un-biased impartial advice and suggestions for your benefit, not the kitchen suppliers.

The majority of my designs are based around handmade and bespoke kitchens companies as this is great for individuality. I can also design your kitchen using standard sized units if prefered to enable you to use any kitchen company of your choice.

"I am not, in any way, financially connected to any kitchen company.  Working this way allows me to remain independent and impartial as I do not receive a financial gain from any company for suggesting either their services or their products to my clients."
