Marc Anderson

I’m based at our Glasgow showroom, where I help clients turn their ideas into thoughtfully designed, German-engineered kitchens that become the heart of the home. Before moving into kitchen design, I spent over a decade working in car sales. During that time, I built strong relationships with customers and learned the importance of truly listening to what people need. Those skills naturally carried over into my work as a kitchen designer and still shape how I approach every project today. I’ve always had a strong interest in design. Now I get to bring creative and practical ideas into real homes — helping clients create kitchens that make them truly love where they live.

Tell us about your design style and approach?

Every project starts with a free kitchen design appointment. Great kitchen design begins with building trust, listening carefully, and learning what matters most in your daily routine. As a result, I always start by understanding how you use your space before making any recommendations. From there, I guide you through the key decisions step by step. We look at layout, style, and materials before bringing all the elements together. The aim is always to create a kitchen that feels personal, practical, and thoughtfully designed.

What are your core strengths as a kitchen designer?

My core strengths are listening, adapting, and helping you get exactly what you’re looking for — without pushing my own preferences onto you. For example, I never arrive at a consultation with a predetermined idea. Instead, I start from scratch with every client, because every home and every lifestyle is different. Ultimately, the best kitchen is the one that works perfectly for you.

Are there specific materials or finishes you love working with?

I’m a big fan of the Nolte NeoLODGE in the blackened oak finish. I’ve always leaned toward darker, more understated colours — so it fits my preferences perfectly. We have a display of it in the Glasgow showroom with the access feature doors as a walk-through, and it still impresses me every time. I’m proud to show customers kitchen design that’s genuinely German and genuinely exciting.

What is your best piece of design advice?

Listen to the client. It’s as simple as that. They’re at the heart of the design — so if you focus your attention on what they really want, the rest usually falls into place. Put them first, and the end result will naturally follow.

Any fun facts or hobbies outside of design?

Outside of kitchen design, I’m a bit of a big kid at heart and enjoy gaming as a way to switch off. Most of my time, however, is spent with my kids — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My son is passionate about football, while my daughters keep us busy with dancing and gymnastics. There’s never a dull moment in our home.
