Choosing Your Perfect Fitted Kitchen

In this guide, we will walk you through the various kitchen styles you can consider for your bespoke kitchen design, exploring their differences, pros and cons, and the vast range of choices available.

Before You Choose Your Kitchen Style

Before diving into styles, it’s important to consider your kitchen's role in your home. Understanding your needs helps narrow down the best kitchen design ideas that will suit your space. Ask yourself: What do you need from your kitchen? How does the space need to work for you and your family?

Do you have a bustling household with children and pets coming in and out every day? Or do you love to entertain friends over Sunday lunch every weekend? Understanding how you will use the space can greatly influence the style you choose. Your kitchen is likely the most used room in your home, and it should reflect your daily life and unique personality.

This is where our talented team of kitchen designers comes in. They will take the time to reflect on how you use your kitchen space and recommend kitchen styles that will seamlessly support your lifestyle.

Finding Your Ideal Kitchen Style

With so many luxury kitchen styles available, deciding which one is right for your home can be challenging. Here are a few factors to consider before making your final choice:

1.     Layout of Your Home: Is your kitchen a galley style or open plan? Do you have other living spaces nearby, or is the main back door, where you bring your muddy dog through every day, located in the same room?

2.     Appliance Needs: What appliances will you include in your kitchen? Do you crave a range cooker, or will you need space for integrated appliances in a utility area? Are you looking for the latest Quooker boiling water tap? Do you have enough room to accommodate that extra large fridge and freezer you need for your family's weekly shop?

3.     Architecture of Your Home: The architectural style of your home can greatly influence your kitchen design. Whether you own a thatched cottage or a Georgian townhouse with high ceilings, kitchen styles can complement your home’s aesthetics in many ways. 

Our bespoke kitchen designs are tailored specifically to the architecture and needs of your home. Considering all these elements will help our kitchen designers advise you on which is right for you.

Shaker Style Kitchens

Timeless and functional, Shaker style kitchens suit a wide variety of spaces and offer remarkable versatility. Characterised by five-piece doors with a central panel surrounded by a frame, Shaker kitchens often feature minimalist cabinets with clean lines. Available in both wood and painted finishes, they provide numerous design options and remain a classic choice.

German Handleless Kitchens

Renowned for their industrial style, German kitchens often feature handleless options, providing a streamlined aesthetic. These kitchens incorporate cutting-edge design and maximise space-saving options, making them both highly adaptable and stylish. These kitchens are celebrated for their durability, innovative technology, and functionality.

In-Frame Kitchens

Custom-made to fit within a solid wood frame, In-Frame kitchens epitomise luxury and durability. These high-quality, luxury kitchens provide a traditional yet highly durable space, with superior craftsmanship, with features like dovetail drawers. The cabinet doors are set flush with the frame which creates an impeccable finish that resists chipping and extends your kitchen's lifespan.
