ageless design kitchen
Ruby Slippers learned how Samantha's family used their Edinburgh kitchen, working out the most common everyday activities and discovering what they loved and loathed about the existing space and her vision for her dream kitchen. Ruby Slippers was then armed with the essential inputs to start designing and planning the new kitchen and layout. The finished kitchen has been featured in House Beautiful magazine!

Wheelchair-frieNDLY design
When Meera and Donald were planning their new groundfloor living space, they asked us for an accessible design that would provide all the features that make such a difference to a wheelchair user but that wouldn't spoil the look of their great new extension. This finished kitchen will be appearing in Beautiful Kitchens magazine.
A personal case study
Lisa completely overhauled her own house in Lasswade, Midlothian. The project taught her so much about quality home adaptations that she then went on to set up the Ruby Slippers business.
As well as re-wiring, re-plumbing and redecorating the whole house, the team reconfigured some of the key living spaces to include a new open plan kitchen and dining area, as well as a new master bedroom suite with dressing room and luxury bathroom. The finished home was featured in Real Homes magazine.
