TESTIMONIALS

Don't just take our word for it, see what our customers have to say

Very professional from start to finish

​

The whole experience with Selan Design has been very professional from start to finish. I had a pretty good idea of the style of kitchen I wanted but wasn’t so sure about the design layout. I am grateful for the time and effort both Abbie and Paul spent to come up with such lovely designs, so lovely in fact that I initially struggled to choose between them. They listened carefully to all my requests and were happy to make helpful suggestions too. I had some structural work planned and wanted the kitchen installation to begin immediately after this work finished which they made happen even though it meant a tight timescale. The project itself was managed very well and I was given a timetable when all the trades would be on site. If I had any queries, I just had to phone Abbie and she was always happy to help and advise. All the tradesmen were extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with and the standard of workmanship is excellent. The result is a beautiful and stylish kitchen which is a pleasure to work in.

Nothing but professional​

Absolutely delighted with my kitchen. The whole Selan team were nothing but professional, attentive and so talented. A great customer service experience throughout. 

 

I wanted inspiration on the layout of my kitchen and where other kitchen companies failed to impress, Kirsty came up with 4 different designs and also used VR technology which helped me visualise what was possible. 

 

Kirsty project managed everything from start to finish, coordinating all the trades from electrics, decorators and flooring.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Selan to anyone.

 

Mr and Mrs Smith

Second to None

​

Having had a Selan kitchen in the past in a previous house, we already knew that the quality of the kitchen would be second to none and the design aspect would be to a high standard. The quality had not dipped over the years so we weren’t disappointed.

 

Other kitchen companies had offered designs that replaced like with like when we said we wanted a change of layout and had been told it wasn’t possible. Kirsty came up with not one but THREE different options for us to choose from, and three different price points. Kirsty answered my endless questions with patience and professionalism, and when I thought something couldn’t be done, Paul came up with a workaround.

 

Everything was delivered as promised, and the programme of work was brought forward which was a bonus, and a timetable provided to give us an idea of when to expect the trades people.

 

We were blown away by the professionalism and high standard of their workmanship, each and every one a true craftsman, across the board it was again second to none, and nothing was too much trouble. They, alongside Kirsty and Paul, are excellent ambassadors for Selan, and we would highly recommend Selan to anyone thinking of having a new kitchen. 

 

One final but important point …… no hard sell, in fact quite the opposite, we were presented with designs and tweaks with no obligation to buy which is refreshing in this day and age. Well done, all.

First class service

​

I received first class service from design through to final fitting.

​

Kirsty produced fantastic designs to choose from and kept us up to date with progress. Timescales and project costs were all met as agreed.

​

The tradesmen were outstanding, John and Darryl were excellent joiners – very helpful and tidy.

Mr & Mrs Sawers

It really was a team effort

​

Wendy and I would just like to put on record our huge thanks and appreciation to Kirsty and the team at Selan for our fantastic new kitchen and utility room. It really was a team effort that extended all the way from an initial drop-in to the showroom for a bit of window shopping then through the various stages in the design process and on to the final installation.

 

Importantly for us, we never felt any pressure at any stage and genuinely quite enjoyed the journey. We felt as much a part of the team as the designers, joiners, electricians, plasterers, plumbers, tilers and everyone else who was involved. Our ideas and input were listened to and improved upon as the process evolved and the end result is something that we are not only delighted with visually but somewhere we instantly feel at home with and comfortable using.

 

Having initially scoffed at the idea that anyone really needed a boiling water tap I now wonder how we ever managed without one. Similarly, I'd always taken the notion of computer-generated renders of how things should look at the end with a pinch of salt but am now a convert having seen how accurate and detailed they match the real thing.

Simply the best

​


"We had a professional experience from start to finish.
Kirsty’s care and attention
to detail was exceptional. Our own ideas were seamlessly incorporated into the design with 
Kirsty producing 3 excellent graphic images adding her own design touches to create an exceptional and functional kitchen space. We were consulted and communicated with at all times.
 

We were supply only and our joiner commented on the fantastic technical fitting information. The best he has ever been given. We also had delays in our build and Selan were extremely accommodating.
 

We have a beautiful kitchen and utility room which has been greatly admired.
 

We would highly recommend Kirsty and Selan Design."

Selan: easily the best

​

"We had been looking for an inspirational kitchen designer for some time but, from the very first time we visited Selan in Broughty Ferry, we knew we would use them such was the confidence Carean and Kirsty had and have in their product and their knowledge of the options available in their range.

 

 We had had a Miele kitchen in a previous house and were very keen to fit one again.  Carean’s 4 designs was each superb; the island Option we chose has proven to be absolutely perfect for our situation and is a thorough delight to live with.  

 

The three highlights have been simple ones: the Quooker has proven itself indispensable, the induction hob with its downward drawing integrated extractor perfect for keeping Carean’s crisp design lines intact, while the bean-to-cup coffee machine is 'essential' to our way of life; no, it really is…

 

 Despite the rigours of Covid, which impacted the fitting date from the off, Carean’s precise and superbly diligently managed plan was executed flawlessly by John their kitchen fitter and gave us the type of fitted kitchen both we and our house had been craving for.  

 

Selan: easily the best."

Expertly Crafted

​

“We are delighted with our new kitchen. The project was well organised, beautifully designed, and expertly crafted, resulting in a most attractive and functional workspace.”

​

Mr & Mrs Hood

Stunningly beautiful and exceedingly functional​

​

“Within minutes of walking into the Selan showroom I was convinced we would be buying our new kitchen there. Everyone was friendly and professional. We were made very welcome, listened to and shown the various products. 

 

We were introduced to Kirsty, who would be designing and project managing the kitchen. The design we chose was ‘off the wall’. Figuratively and literally off the wall! The concept was beyond anything I could have imagined. Yet it was clear Kirsty had listened to everything we had said to her. It was all there, on paper.

 

The design process didn’t stop. We added, altered and changed our minds on the details. Often in the same sentence! Sometimes we didn’t really know what we wanted! Kirsty was always ready to make alterations and offer advice. 

George kept us all on track. Function and form. Always hand in hand. It had to work, and it had to be beautiful.

 

During installation Kirsty kept us updated and managed the flow of work. The fitters, plumbers, electricians were friendly and efficient. Clearly taking a pride in their work. Involving us in any decisions. Of course, in a project as big as a kitchen, there were issues. They never became problems. Kirsty, George and the team made sure of it.

 

The result is stunningly beautiful and exceedingly functional. The designing and fitting were kept enjoyable. A good experience that lingers… “

Extremely Pleased​

​

“We just wanted to say how happy we are with our new kitchen.

 

We had a number of meetings at Selan Design where Kirsty guided us through the planning process with friendly professionalism and patience. The final design was well presented with the pathway to installation being clearly set out. Kirsty liaised with the builders, overcoming any issues. The installation was done efficiently, to a very high standard. The functionality of the layout is excellent, making it a pleasure to use.

 

Overall we are extremely pleased with our experience and have no hesitation in highly recommending Selan Design.”

Customer Focused Culture

​

''We are totally satisfied with our kitchen designed and installed by Selan Design. At the conceptual design stage Carean took onboard our comments paying particular attention to every precise detail of our requirements providing us with a number of options to chose from. The installation team, floorers, tilers, plumbers, electricians and painter were all very professional and extremely diligent resulting in a top quality job. The customer focused culture of the company shone through throughout the project with Carean and George, always checking progress and maintaining contact with ourselves. We would have no hesitation in recommending Selan Design for any future kitchen projects.''

We love our kitchen, it’s a wonderful family space.

It was the best decision we made

 

"We already knew Selan through friends and relatives who had them design and install their kitchens, and we were very impressed with the end results. We decided to go with Selan as the kitchens were high quality, the staff professional, and they organised the entire project from start to finish. We sat down with Kirsty and talked through our ideas with her. She came up with her design which incorporated some of our ideas but importantly improved on them and added lots of final touches which we hadn't even thought about.

The kitchen guys (John and Ian) were excellent, answered all our questions and addressed any concerns we had during the installation work. The quality of work was exceptional and the final result speaks for itself. We were repeatedly told that if we were not happy with anything, it would be put right. 

We would absolutely recommend anyone who wants a first class experience with as little drama and frustration as possible to go to Selan.
It was the best decision we made."

Mr & Mrs Spink

The whole experience has been a pleasure
 
''On behalf of Brenda and myself, we would like to say a big thank you to all at Selan Design who were involved in the design, supply and fitting of our new kitchen. We are absolutely delighted with the end result.
From our initial meeting at home with George and Nicole the whole experience has been a pleasure. A special thank you to Nicole for her patience with our many visits to the showroom, questions and of course for the final design of the kitchen.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Selan Design to anyone who is looking for that extra special kitchen."

We have a dream kitchen!

 

''Carean, Sarah and myself are delighted with the kitchen. The guys did an absolutely fantastic job and everything looks great. Thank you for your help throughout the process, it has been a pleasure working with you and Selan! We have recommended you guys to a few people and will continue to do so. It is rare to get an actual designer to design a kitchen, most places you have to give the people the design to draw which is not ideal. When we came to you, you came up with a lot of very creative ideas that we didn't even think of, let alone other kitchen design firms. I think this is what sets you and Selan apart and because of it, we have a dream kitchen! Thank you so much.''

Mr & Mrs  Kelleher

Second to None

 

''We have been well looked after not only on the initial visit in the showroom, but throughout the whole process and seeing to all the technical side of things. We are really pleased with the final result and cannot wait to start entertaining again. The quality is second to none. Selan Design has the fitting team and the service to back it up.''

Our beautiful kitchen

 

''Many thanks to Selan Design and designer Nicole for our beautiful new kitchen. Its innovative design and layout are something we had not thought of but satisfied our requirements for a spacious working area and a social space for us and our extended family to enjoy. 

The high quality of the worktops, doors and appliances together with skilled workmanship mean that the kitchen will be a focal point in the house for many years to come. 
Well done George, Nicole and the Selan Team''

Mr & Mrs Heggie 

Wonderful Kitchen

Coordinated customer orientated team
 
''We were extending our available kitchen area and being aware of Selan Design’s 25+ years of experience sought their advice which was constructive and helpful. They work as a coordinated customer orientated team and channelled our raw ideas towards practical realities, recommending high quality units and appliances. Computer graphics of the proposed finished article were an exciting window on the project in its early stages. The installation progressed smoothly thanks to the skill of the in-house fitters and was completed within the stated time frame. Queries were readily replied to by designer. Nicole, and minor later adjustments promptly dealt with. Our new kitchen is bright and airy with sleek contemporary lines, innovative storage solutions and efficient responsive appliances which are easily kept clean. We have no hesitation in declaring it the best room in the house!''

Mr & Mrs Wright

I love my new kitchen completely

 

''Selan Design gave me first class service in all departments. They were charming to work with during planning, and they fitted the kitchen beautifully on time. They were happy to take me through the whole process in great detail with various easily read plans, and I was always confident I would end up with the kitchen I really wanted, and I did.Everything works beautifully.''

Luxury Lifestyle

 

''We were well looked after during the whole process of choosing our new kitchen from the first meeting throughout the design process and especially the technical details.
The design perfectly accommodates the whole area and connects naturally with our sitting area.
Paul’s advice on appliances was priceless; we have all that’s needed for our life style. The cooking is more entertaining than we thought it could be.
We are delighted with our new kitchen. Selan Design offered us the first class service.''

Fantastic
 
''We had a great design team - worked well together, making the overall experience an enjoyable one. And the end result speaks for itself, fantastic! We've been told by many of our friends they have 'house envy', especially the expansive kitchen area. 
Of all our past kitchen designs, this is by far the one which works not only from a functional perspective but looks absolutely stunning.''

It really has transformed our house

 

''Thank you very much for all the help and advice you gave us with our kitchen design and all the support through the installation process. Thanks to the whole team for all their hard work. It really has transformed our house giving us a lovely bright modern room to cook, dine and relax in. It has been greatly admired by family and friends and we have been recommending the service you provide. Many Thanks''

We are delighted with our luxury designer kitchen

​

''We chose Selan Design to redesign our kitchen as we were impressed with their luxury products and the expert knowledge and ideas of the Kitchen Designer we initially spoke with. Due to their longstanding reputation we trusted them to fit the kitchen when we went on holiday. We were very happy when we returned as the kitchen looked amazing and our home had been well looked after. We then worked closely with the Fitters and Designer on any outstanding snagging issues which were all resolved as we requested.

We are delighted with our luxury designer kitchen which not only looks fantastic but also functions well for us and our young family. I would not hesitate to recommend Selan Design or approach them to design another kitchen for us should we ever move home.''

Excellent

 

''The amount of care and attention provided by Selan at the design stage was very impressive. Clear and unambiguous advice was given when units and appliances were being chosen.

The delivery and installation took place on the dates as arranged and after-sales queries were handled quickly and efficiently.

The completed kitchen was exactly as shown on Selan’s computerised graphics.''

Mr & Mrs Townsend

5 Star​

 

''We are delighted with our new kitchen/diner and are enjoying, not only the sociable side of it, but the practical and functioning design. It certainly exceeds our expectations. Knocking 2 rooms into one has changed the whole feel of our home. Our kitchen now fits our home. We are no longer embarrassed by our old kitchen. I would love to say my cooking skills have improved but that is an ongoing dream! I leave those skills to my husband.

The service we received from yourself, George, Paul & Carean were excellent & 5 star rating.

The joinery, plumbing, tiling & electrical teams were outstanding.

We were delighted & reassured when we left our home in your capable hands to go on holiday for a week. It was nice to enjoy a relaxing holiday without any worries. Your teams of men were very reputable & trustworthy. The whole kitchen took 3 weeks from start to finish. Any small snagging problems have been dealt with promptly & efficiently.

We will definitely recommend your company to our friends & family’

We Love it​

 

''We have been very impressed with the service we have received from Selan from planning our kitchen to installing it. Nothing was too much trouble and in the scheme of a large renovation project we greatly appreciated that it went so smoothly. We have a large young family so the kitchen has to tick a lot of boxes. It does. It functions beautifully and looks stunning. We love it!''

Happy to recommend

 

''When we moved house, one thing we both wanted in our house was a really good modern kitchen.
We knew that Selan had an excellent reputation for design and installation of bespoke kitchens and we decided to employ them having visited their showroom and talked to their people.
We agreed on design and price and were given a computerised “artistic impression” booklet showing us what the final kitchen layout would look like.
Ours was a major kitchen refit involving the entire stripping out of everything in the existing kitchen, and the installation of the new units to the specification agreed on by us. The work involved multiple trades including electrical, plumbing, plasterwork, painting and flooring.
We were very impressed by Selan’s project management of all the trades involved, as this aspect was very important to ourselves. We were also very impressed by the quality and attention to detail by Selan’s own installation team during the installation.
The work was completed on time and in accordance with the job specification and price previously agreed on.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Selan Design Ltd as the best kitchen design and installation company we have come into contact with.
We are very happy with the final completed kitchen.''

We are absolutely delighted

 

''Our sincere thanks for all your help, advice, patience and understanding in the creation of our kitchen. You obviously read our minds perfectly! We are absolutely delighted with it and our friends are most envious.''

Got the 'wow' factor

 

''After a lot of thought and research over a new kitchen last year, we walked into Selan Design Ltd and got the wow factor. We met with Carean and our decision was made. She gave us designs that no one else had thought about and they were exactly what we wanted.

We chose sleek Sahara units matched with cream quartz worktops and a dark Macassar contrast, toning in with a dropped down butchers block table.

Our appliances are space saving additions to our kitchen and with the induction hob everything is energy and cost efficient.

Having our kitchen completed by Christmas as promised, we did a lot of entertaining and the kitchen worked really well. Everyone was very complimentary and a couple of friends have since visited the Showroom after seeing our great results.

The Kitchen has become such an important part of our living and whenever we walk in it gives us such a lot of pleasure. It also fits in really well with two teenage boys who are always hungry and constantly looking for something to eat!''
