Visualise your dream kitchen — matchen. with your local kitchen specialists.

Yes. Creating your account and your first kitchen visual are free — every new account comes with one free 2K image token. Want even sharper, more accurate visuals? You can buy 2K or 4K tokens any time. And as Matchen grows, we'll be aiming to increase the number of free image tokens every user receives.

Your dream kitchen visuals are meant to be used as inspiration — not a fully accurate, like-for-like drawing of the kind a kitchen specialist can provide. We use our own custom-built software, powered by AI, to transform your kitchen space into lifelike visuals of your dream kitchen. Please note that hidden fixtures such as pipework can change how a kitchen has to be designed and planned, so we always recommend contacting a kitchen specialist to make sure an accurate design can take place. This software isn't here to replace kitchen designers — it's here to help you, the homeowner, with inspiring tools and to become kitchen smart using our budgeting tool and top tips.

Not at all. Your account details aren't shared with any of your matched kitchen specialists until you give your consent, so every user can enjoy a no-obligation experience. Our aim with Matchen is to connect homeowners with one of the many hundreds of amazing independent kitchen retailers across the UK & Ireland — so you can feel at ease with a company you can trust to do right by your dream kitchen project.

Once you've completed your dream kitchen visuals and become kitchen smart using our budgeting tool and top tips, you can choose to share your details with three local specialists matched specifically to your wishlist, design choices and non-negotiables. This only happens when you consent to it, at the end of the process we've built for you. There's no obligation — but you can feel at ease knowing the retailers you match with treat your details with the utmost professionalism. Think of it as a consultation: it's there to educate you on the process of buying a kitchen, introduce their business and how they work, and help them learn more about your project to see if you're the right fit as a customer. Not every retailer caters to every requirement, which is exactly why we match you with three — giving you variety, peace of mind and clarity on what each company can offer.

Just a free account and a photo of your existing or intended kitchen space — that's more than enough to get started. Once your account is set up, you'll choose your door style, colours and finishes, then generate your visual in moments. You're free to design and explore as much as you like, and you're never matched with any specialists until you choose to consent at the end of the process.

Your details are only ever shared with the three specialists you match with — and only after you give your consent. You don't have to share a phone number; you simply need to provide a contact name, email address and the project details captured during the process. And if you're not happy with your initial matches, you can choose to view other retailers within a 10-mile radius. You can read exactly how we look after your data in our Privacy Policy.
