We begin with a blank page.
Our design process starts with a conversation with a prospective client, to understand their taste, the purpose of the space, and all the ways in which it can and will be used.
This is always with a designer. We don’t have project managers or salespeople, so you’ll be working directly with the small team who will design and build your project, including the cabinetmakers and fitters based in Lewes and Plumpton.
This approach allows us to deliver true bespoke work. We get to know you, and our meticulous attention-to-detail sees all the little details fall seamlessly into place.
We have extensive knowledge of materials, and no commitments to specific suppliers, so we have few limits to what we can build together.
Alistair Fleming has over 40 years of best-in-class local craftsmanship, experienced designers, and a broader portfolio than almost any other designer. The outcome is an interior space designed purely for you.

Designing esquisite kitchens since 1984.
Alistair Fleming Design is well-known across Sussex for high-quality, handmade kitchens, designed and built to clients’ exacting requirements.
Our founder, Alistair, had background in traditional cabinet making, and expanding to include kitchen and interior design. Alistair retired in 2024, handing the keys over to his long-time associate, Joanne Lucas, who continues to lead a close-knit, highly accomplished team of designers and makers.
Based in the historic town of Lewes, our studio and workshop bring together centuries-old craftsmanship with cutting-edge, innovative design. It is this often unorthodox approach that allows us to conceive truly remarkable spaces.

Deep & broad experience of materials and design.
We apply no limitations to our design. We have no house style, and work with a broad range of suppliers we admire for their quality and design.
Our cabinetry carcasses are built from oak, rather than less sturdy alternatives, which ensures the longevity of our kitchens.
We work with a range of materials, from ultra-slim Dekton, environmentally friendly Bamboo, to a range of marbles, quartz, metals and glass, partnering with local specialists whenever possible.
As such, we've made a broader range of kitchens than most kitchen designers; from traditional shaker style, on which we built our name, to ultra-modern, minimalist, scandi and farmhouse styles.
