Our story
A family studio, run on 20 years of kitchens.
Coeur Kitchens is a family-run design studio, run by Sam and Suzy Sheppard from a showroom on Market Mews, just off Great George Street in Godalming. It's deliberately a small studio — and that's the whole point. The person who sits down with you, listens to how you live and draws your kitchen is Sam himself, and he's been designing kitchens for more than twenty years.
That experience is what shapes every Coeur kitchen. Sam designs it around your space, your ideas and his own instincts — then his own skilled team takes over the fit, coordinating cabinetry, worktops, electrics and plumbing so nothing is left for you to chase. Suzy runs things alongside Sam, keeping the studio and every project moving. There's no call centre, no rotating crew of strangers, and no salesman between you and the person who'll actually deliver the kitchen.
What clients write about, over and over, isn't just the kitchens — it's the way the work is done. They expected to pay a premium for a local, family-run studio and instead found the quote genuinely competitive against the big chains. Communication is quick and clear, the job runs to the dates given from the start, and when the odd issue crops up — as it does on any real project — it's handled creatively rather than landed on them. That's why the same phrase keeps appearing in the reviews: a kitchen they're proud of.
