Our Process
How a Kitchen Becomes Yours
Five stages. One designer. A home that is entirely, unmistakably yours.
From first conversation to finished home
Typical timeline from consultation to installation
On all cabinetry and hardware, no exceptions
Listen
Week 1
The Design Consultation
Every Arimokko home begins with a conversation — not a sales pitch. We spend 60 to 90 minutes with you, in our showroom or at your home, learning how you cook, how you live, and how you want your space to feel. We ask about your morning routine, your storage frustrations, the kitchens you've admired in magazines and why. We listen before we draw a single line.
Complimentary. No obligation. In-showroom or home visit.
Imagine
Weeks 2 – 3
The Concept Presentation
Within two weeks of your consultation, your dedicated designer presents a tailored concept: photorealistic 3D renders of your space, a curated material and finish selection, a detailed floor plan, and a full itemised quotation. Nothing is generic. Every element — the veneer species, the hardware finish, the countertop profile — is chosen specifically for your home and your brief.
Full 3D renders, material board, and itemised quote included.
Refine
Weeks 3 – 5
Refinement & Sign-Off
We refine the design together — adjusting layouts, swapping finishes, reconsidering proportions — until every detail is exactly right. There is no limit to the number of revisions. We do not move to production until you are completely, unhesitatingly satisfied. This is the stage where good kitchens become extraordinary ones.
Unlimited revisions. We proceed only when you are ready.
Craft
Weeks 5 – 10
Workshop Production
Once signed off, your cabinetry enters our production workshop. Every carcass is cut from E0-rated board, every door is lacquered in multiple coats with hand-sanding between each, every veneer is book-matched and pressed under controlled conditions. Blum and Hettich hardware is fitted and tested before a single panel leaves the workshop. You receive progress updates throughout.
Typical production lead time: 4 – 6 weeks from sign-off.
Install
Weeks 10 – 12
Installation & Handover
Our own installation team — not subcontractors — arrives on site. A typical kitchen installation takes two to three days. We protect your floors, manage all site waste, and leave your home cleaner than we found it. On handover, your designer walks you through every mechanism, every soft-close drawer, every concealed hinge adjustment — so you understand your kitchen completely from day one.
Installed by our own team. Full handover walkthrough included.
The Result Is Always Worth the Care
Every stage of our process exists for one reason: to ensure that when we hand over your keys, your home is exactly what you imagined — and better.
