'Wren Kitchens gave us the confidence to go for something a bit different'

When Rachel and her husband, James, moved into their Victorian house in 2019, renovating the kitchen was one of the first things they planned to do. As a lover of interiors, it was usually Rachel who made the home décor decisions. However, preoccupied with their newborn baby and a business to keep up and running through Covid, it fell to James to take the lead with the kitchen makeover.

Thankfully, James had plenty of expert help. From his first call with Wren, he was immediately impressed by how helpful the design team were. The couple had visited other kitchen companies, but thanks to how the team guided him through the steps, James only felt secure with Wren.

FAMILY DAY OUT

With their newborn daughter, Elsie, and family dog in tow, Rachel and James visited their local Wren showroom in North Shields. It was a really lovely experience,' Rachel remembers.
