About By Design Cambridge

By Design

Thoughtfully designed kitchens and bathrooms. Built on trust.

At By Design Cambridge Ltd, we design and deliver premium kitchens and luxury bathrooms for homeowners who value quality, clarity, and long-term thinking.

We are an independent, family-run interiors studio proudly serving Cambridge, Newmarket, Exning, Ely, and the surrounding villages. With over two decades of experience, our reputation has been built on honest advice, thoughtful design, and personal care — not pressure, gimmicks, or constant sales.

A Different Way of Designing Kitchens and Bathrooms

The kitchens and bathrooms industry has increasingly moved towards headline discounts, rushed decisions, and transactional sales. That has never been our approach.

At By Design Cambridge, we believe in:

Transparent pricing without artificial promotions
Carefully curated European manufacturers known for engineering, durability, and timeless design
Designs led by how you live — not what needs to be sold
Personal responsibility for every project from start to finish

Our clients choose us because they want reassurance, expertise, and a process they can trust.

Experience That Makes a Difference

For over 20 years, we have been designing kitchens and bathrooms for homes across Cambridge and the surrounding area.

That experience means we understand:

The practical differences between period properties and modern homes
How kitchens and bathrooms must work together as part of a complete interior
The importance of layout, lighting, storage, and ergonomics
How to guide decisions that will still feel right many years from now

We work at a considered pace, allowing space for ideas to develop and for informed decisions to be made — never rushed, never pressured.

Carefully Chosen European Quality

We partner with a small number of premium European kitchen and bathroom manufacturers whose standards reflect our own.

From precision-engineered German kitchen furniture to beautifully crafted European bathroom ceramics, furniture, brassware, and fittings, every product we specify has been selected for:

Build quality
Performance
Longevity
Design integrity

These are products designed to be lived with every day — not replaced in a few years’ time.

Complete Project Care

Whether we are designing a kitchen, a bathroom, or a coordinated interior, our responsibility is the same.

From the first conversation to final installation, we provide:

One-to-one design consultations
Detailed 3D visuals where appropriate
Clear specifications and transparent pricing
Carefully managed installations using trusted professionals

You will always deal with the same people throughout your project. There are no handovers, call centres, or disappearing acts once an order is placed.

Local, Independent, Accountable

Being a local, independent business matters to us.

Our work is built on long-term relationships, recommendations, and repeat clients. Many homeowners return to us years later for further projects or introduce friends and family — something we consider the strongest endorsement possible.

We are proud members of the Kitchen Bathroom Specialists Association (KBSA) and uphold professional standards that protect both our clients and our reputation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Denis and the team were incredibly helpful through the whole process of our kitchen refurbishment. From the initial discussions and call out with Denis, his particular eye for design came through and he made some great suggestions for opening up the space in terms of removing the chimney breast and partitioning out existing pantry which have transformed our kitchen area. Denis was there every step of the way, coming in an checking on the trades, liaising with them while we weren't in the property and project managing it to a very high standard.

The team they used were equally as thoughtful, providing great suggestions and design, with the new flooring throughout the downstairs, it feels like we live in a different house. We would highly recommend By Design to design and spec your kitchen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son & daughter-in-law suggested we contact Denis at By Design for our new kitchen, after their successful installation 3 years ago. We are pleased we did, as we are delighted with the result. German manufacture, with lots of neat innovations to make best use of our fairly limited space, and which didn’t stretch our budget. Denis has a wealth of knowledge, guiding us through the design process to a quality kitchen. We are pleased to recommend By Design. Mary & Martin South Cambridge.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. By Design recently designed, supplied and installed our new bathroom. Throughout the entire process, the service we received couldn't have been better. The main reason we chose By Design was the fantastic support we received from Denis. He was with us every step of the way, from exploring various design options to regularly checking in on the fitting progress.

The team responsible for the fitting was extremely courteous and consistently went out of their way to ensure everything was being carried out as expected. They also made a special effort to minimize any disruption to our daily routines.

Thank you for providing such excellent service and for making our bathroom renovation a smooth and pleasant experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm thrilled with our new bathroom from By Design. The entire experience from the initial design through to completion was excellent. It was so reassuring having Denis managing the project. He'd stop in most days to make sure everything was on track and up to his high standards and to deal with any small issues that cropped up. All of the contractors they worked with were also excellent. The entire project ran smoothly and on time. And the finished room is beautiful! Just what we wanted. We'd definitely use By Design again.

Please would you compliment and thank both your own staff and also your various subcontractors?  They were thoroughly professional, expert and speedy: and they were also extraordinarily courteous, considerate and careful in their work.  Completely beyond our expectations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing customer service with the most varied collection in a relative small area.
They offered much lower prices than Cambridge worktops. Would highly recommend.
