THE GREAT KITCHEN DESIGN EXPERIENCE 2026 - York
About this Event
Most homeowners only renovate once or twice in their lifetime.
Yet the decisions they make in those few months affect how they live every day for the next twenty years.
Join us for The Great Kitchen Design Experience – an exclusive day designed to help you avoid expensive mistakes, make better decisions, and understand what truly makes a kitchen work.
After designing over 500 premium kitchens across Yorkshire, we've seen the patterns. The layout mistake that wastes £5,000+ without adding any value. The appliance upgrades worth every penny and the ones that aren't. Why beautiful kitchens become frustrating to live with.
This isn't a sales pitch. It's honest, practical insights from two decades of experience – whether you eventually choose Counter Interiors or not.
What You'll Discover
Luke Counter: "What 20 Years of Designing Kitchens Has Taught Me"
A frank 20-minute talk covering:
• Why many beautiful kitchens become frustrating to live with
• The layout mistake that can waste over £5,000 without adding any value
• The appliance upgrades worth every penny... and the ones that aren't
