In a nutshell, we offer all kitchen styles.

Shaker kitchen styles have minimal detailing and add a timeless design to your home. They are universal and suit country cottages, period homes and add a traditional twist to contemporary properties.

In-frame kitchen styles are when the cupboard door sits within a frame fitted inside the kitchen carcass. The door opens within the frame, creating an elegant feature.

Modern kitchen styles can provide a calm backdrop to a chaotic space. They are perfect for those wanting a sleek, streamlined, and minimalist design.

Handleless kitchen styles provide an ultra-minimalist style to your kitchen and are a chic, understated addition to your contemporary home.

There are several kitchen trends for 2024.

Kitchen islands are here to stay, but with a bit of an upgrade. Freestanding furniture, like baker’s tables are becoming popular. They are multifunctional and help provide a flexible arrangement for your new kitchen.

Gone are the days of neutral-coloured kitchens, in 2024, why not add a splash of colour to your space? Pastel colours, such as pinks, greens, and blues are appearing quite popular. Bolder colours like greens and blues have been on trend recently, with a resurgence of red. These colours add a statement to your kitchen, giving it a fresh and modern look.

There are some practical features that are becoming more popular this year. Warming drawers have recently increased in popularity in domestic homes. Modern wine cellars remain popular, seamlessly fitting into your kitchen layout. Pantries are making a comeback in 2024. They are extremely practical and many people are now wanting to include a pretty pantry within their new kitchen.

Our kitchens are designed to suit your needs and usually range from £20,000 to £40,000 depending on the level of work required. We will work to your budget to create the perfect bespoke kitchen for you.

For a smoother process, prior to our initial chat, why not have a brainstorm of the features and appliances you would like to include in your home? If there is anything you don’t currently use, consider not including it in your renovations. Also think about the budget for your kitchen, check out our simple guide to planning the cost of your new kitchen.

We will have an initial chat, which provides the perfect opportunity for us to discuss any unique features you would like in your home. Once we have the details, we will explain the styles, trends, products, and accessories available that would complement your requirements.

We will then go away and design your kitchen using the latest CAD design software, including line drawings with all the measurements and 3D images from various angles.

With the design complete, it’s time for you to come to the shop to look at the actual products and to discuss the next steps.

Once everything is agreed, we will create a schedule of work and introduce you to the tradespeople working on your renovation.

• L-Shaped Kitchen – The open-plan layout is practical and provides you with a lot of flexibility when designing your kitchen.

• U-Shaped Kitchen – This layout is great for multiple users at one time, there is plenty of space for storage.

• Island Kitchen – A popular layout, an island offers great functionality along with suiting any style and aesthetic.
