Our kitchens

We work with two furniture houses, both chosen for build quality rather than margin, and both capable of an outstanding kitchen: Stoneham, our English brand, building kitchens since 1864, royal-warranted and made in Kent; and Sachsenküchen, for German engineering, tolerances and handleless systems.

Each has its own strengths and its own place. We will not push you towards either, but we will help you find the one that suits you. The conversation is the same either way: what you like, what you don’t, how you cook, and what the room has to do on an ordinary Tuesday evening as well as at Christmas.

Floor-to-ceiling banks with flush fronts and no handles, opening on the gentlest touch — some sliding sideways rather than out, and sometimes broken with setback columns of light.

Taupe, mushroom, clay, sand, greige and oat are the inspiration for today’s colour palette, with nature-inspired greens and blues grounding open-plan spaces.

Made from over 80% naturally renewable materials like linseed and wood flour, with carbon-negative production, this tactile, naturally elegant material has a warm touch and an easy-to-maintain matt surface. Choose plain or embossed, or for the Japandi style, add a natural wooden frame.

Book-matching is the specialist art of laying veneers so the grain runs in a continuous pattern across a series of doors. It is at its most striking on a single run of units.

The Shaker door keeps being reinvented, from the slim micro-Shaker through every frame width up to the original chunky profile. Natural and colour-stained oaks add warmth and richness, so the units read as pieces of furniture in their own right.

Open plan can sometimes leave the kitchen feeling detached. Carrying matching units into the dining and living areas links the look and keeps it continuous. Add a dresser, a media unit or a stand-alone bar to create a cohesive feel.

A phrase coined by Adrian Stoneham, MD of Stoneham Kitchens, the bantry is a beautiful combination of bar and pantry. With double or bifold doors it doubles as everyday pantry storage or a breakfast pantry, or the same unit can become an entertainment hub, bar or coffee station, with optional wine glass storage, a mirrored back or even your matching worktop inside.

Beyond curved units, curved end panels, from a gentle radius to a bold arc, soften a run and help the room flow.

The handle is no longer just the finishing touch; it can be the star of the show. Natural brass or rich bronze, fluted or knurled for texture, brings a classic kitchen to life. For a clean contemporary line, handleless rails come in matching or contrasting colours and finishes, some with integrated lighting.

Uninterrupted lines, rail or J-pull, for open plan rooms.
