Customer Story: Lauren Harte lets us explore her Lyndale kitchen

• Kitchen range: Lyndale
• Showroom: Swords, Dublin
• Designer: Alan Larkin

With her vision in mind, Lauren went to the Cash & Carry Kitchens showroom in Swords, Co Dublin.  

Cash & Carry Kitchens was the first shop I went into and they had the exact kitchen that I had in mind. I did not go to any other shops – that was the kitchen for us.

Here she met with design consultant Alan Larkin, who helped bring her ideas to life. 

“One of the design issues Lauren had is that she went with a double-sized Belfast sink,” says Alan. “She wanted the sink to be centred and with what she was fitting in on either side, it wasn’t possible unless we made some alterations to the units. That’s where the chopping boards came into it – they solved the problem.”

With her new kitchen in place – including a corner seating area – Lauren says she could not be happier with the finished product. “It’s where we spend most of our time. It is for cooking, dining, relaxing. We’re here all the time.”

“I definitely was expecting a stressful process in getting the kitchen and doing it ourselves rather than getting the kitchen that the house came with, but that wasn’t the case,” she says. “It was fantastic from start to finish.”

From storage to seating, Lauren and Alan take us through the process of creating her dream kitchen in this video.
