I'm the sort of person who goes into a kitchen designer with a good idea of what I want, and for my last kitchen, it became pretty clear during my design session that they weren't going to be able to turn one of my ideas into a reality.
Now, bear in mind, this was a high street kitchen chain, not a bespoke kitchen design brand (who I'm sure would have created what I wanted, but even better), but I had a design in mind for a built-in extractor hood idea that just didn't meld with what they could offer. So, while I opted in for new appliances, cabinets, storage, and countertops from the kitchen company, I left without a way to bring my cooker hood to life.
