Our Story Of How Then Became Now Kitchens
The Evolution of Patio, Tiles and Bathrooms to Now Kitchens, Living and Bedrooms
In the world of kitchens, interiors and home solutions, there are few companies that boast the level of expertise and commitment to their customers as we do at Now. But how did Now come to be? When it comes to the hub of the home, I believe that Now’s interior spaces and kitchens should be more than a place to eat and sleep...
“It’s where we dine together, laugh together and make plans for all of our best memories”
Having the belief that all of our best family memories often started during conversations over the kitchen table, I’ve always had a passion for the hub of the home. Having initially trained as a chef at Cornwall College, this is certainly not how I envisaged entering the kitchen industry. However, since my humble beginnings in the bathroom, kitchen and home improvement sector, I'm now able to offer a wealth of invaluable expertise and advice to my customers. We're proud to offer a bespoke design and installation service for all things kitchens, living and bedrooms, and I really do make it my mission to prioritise quality workmanship, product and value for money.
"In my opinion, luxury living doesn’t have to cost the earth and so it’s my mission at Now, to ensure that we source the finest quality products at the best value, so our customers have complete peace of mind with home solutions that are built to last a lifetime"
Darren Hitchman, Founder & Owner of Now

Darren, Company Director & Founder
"At the heart of my approach is genuine collaboration — guiding each customer through their design journey with expertise and care. I believe in a consultative process built on service, helping clients make confident, informed decisions that bring their dream interiors to life. I’ve always believed that luxury doesn’t have to cost the earth, which is why I’m passionate about sourcing beautifully crafted, high-quality products from like-minded suppliers and artisans who share the same commitment to quality and design integrity."
Christine, Design & Style Consultant
"Growing up, the kitchen was the heart of our home — where memories were made and moments shared. That connection to home has always inspired me and continues to shape my approach to design. It brings me real joy to help clients create spaces that do the same, turning their kitchen aspirations and living areas into reality through thoughtful, functional design. My goal is always to craft interiors that feel welcoming, beautifully considered, and perfectly suited to the way each client lives."
