Is a pretty small space and my only focus has been to make the space as airy as possible.

Have i failed, succeeded what can be improved with the layout.

Also wanted to ask about the top row of the kitchen cabinets, the wall hung ones.
If i removed them would that help with the space feeling more open, or would it look empty.
I rarely see this being applied in interiors, but always liked it, in theory at least.

The storage area under the stairs im not sure works either, in terms of it being practical.

Commissioned a interior designer to design my house and agreed to set a price after the first renders as he didn’t have a portfolio he could share.

Whats a fair price for it?

Any critique of the work?

What would you rate it overall and is this industry standard work expected everywhere?

The house is 80 sq2 and 2 stories.

Is a new house so I don’t have a proper before and after.

Thank you!
