Designing with Personality

In this blog series we invite you to virtually meet our designers, find out more about them & their experiences designing over the years and what you can expect if you visit them for your next kitchen, bathroom or bedroom renovation. 

Today we hear from Zoe who is a Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom designer in our Bristol showroom.

 

After three years designing beautiful kitchens here at Gardiner Haskins Interiors I’ve come to realise just how much my earlier career in packaging design has shaped the way I approach interiors. Working with top-end independent kitchen retailers and running my own design business gave me a deep appreciation for detail, precision, and how good design can tell a story. And in kitchens—arguably the most personal room in the home—that storytelling becomes even more important.

 

My life outside of work fuels my creativity too. I love travelling, weekends away in Ziggy—my beloved vintage VW camper van—and spending time in my garden. These passions remind me how spaces can shape our mood, bring us joy, and help us recharge. That’s exactly what a well-designed kitchen should do.

 

One trend I’m particularly drawn to right now is the introduction of colour into the kitchen. Whether it’s deep forest green cabinetry, a pop of terracotta on the walls, or playful colour-blocking with shelving and splashbacks, colour has the power to completely transform the feel and even the shape of a space. It can make a room feel bigger, cosier, brighter, or more dramatic. It’s such a versatile design tool—and when used well, it creates a space that feels completely unique to the homeowner.

 

But great kitchen design is about more than style—it’s about function. I believe strongly in shaping the design around how you use the space. Whether you’re a passionate cook, a busy parent, a host with a full calendar, or someone who just loves clean, open surfaces—your kitchen should work with your lifestyle. That’s where the magic happens: beautiful spaces that actually make life easier.

 

Choosing a local independent specialist like us gives you the best of both worlds: personal, one-on-one service and access to high-quality, well-known brands. We're not here to push a standard solution—we're here to create something just for you, with reliable products that are built to last. The brands we work with have solid reputations, customer support, and warranties you can trust—giving you peace of mind alongside beautiful design.

Whether you’re just browsing for ideas or ready to dive into a full renovation, we’d love to show you what’s possible. Our showroom is full of inspiration and our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

 

Here’s to kitchens full of colour, character, and creativity.
