Mastercraft Kitchens

A completed Mastercraft kitchen transformation in a converted manor home in Poulton-le-Fylde.

This project was designed to feel completely in keeping with the character of the property, while giving the kitchen a calmer, more open and practical layout for everyday living.

The finished design features our Mastercraft Aldana kitchen in porcelain, paired with a reed green island for a richer centrepiece. Calacatta Gold surfaces bring warmth and movement through the room, while the classic shaker detailing sits beautifully within the manor setting.

As with every Mastercraft kitchen, this was not just a supplied kitchen - it was a full Mastercraft design, carefully planned, crafted and installed by our own team.

A complete transformation in Epsom.

This was never just a kitchen replacement. You’re looking at a full Mastercraft design and build, created to change how the whole space works and feels.

We removed the load-bearing chimney breast to open the room properly. Rebuilt the layout. Installed a new ceiling, complete rewire, and lighting throughout. Even the original internal door has been retained and reintroduced as a pocket sliding system within a new wall.

The result is a calm, practical space built around how you actually use it.

You now have a solid ash shaker kitchen, painted in Reed Green, paired with Azzurro quartz across the worktops, upstands, splashbacks and bay window sill. Every element is designed to feel right together, not added on.

AEG appliances are fully integrated, and the Qettle 4-in-1 tap with 4 litre tank brings everyday convenience into the design without compromise.

Everything you see here, from structural work through to the final installation, has been carried out by our own in-house team.

No chasing trades. No gaps between stages. Just one team taking responsibility from start to finish.

If you’re thinking about reworking your kitchen properly, not just replacing doors, this is what’s possible.

Pantry storage is one of the biggest shifts highlighted in the latest Houzz 2026 Kitchen Trends Study.

More and more kitchens are being designed around dedicated storage from the outset – not added later as an afterthought.

A well-designed pantry changes how your kitchen works day to day. It keeps surfaces clear, brings order to busy spaces, and gives everything a proper place.

Whether it is a full walk-in pantry or a carefully planned breakfast cupboard, the detail makes all the difference. Internal layouts, lighting, and proportions all need to be considered from the very beginning.

This is where bespoke design really comes into its own.

If you are thinking about how your kitchen should function, it is worth starting here.

Most outdoor kitchens look great… but many end up barely used.

The difference usually comes down to planning.

From where you position it, to how you cook, to whether it actually works with your home – small decisions make a big impact. In the UK especially, things like weather protection, utilities, and layout need careful thought if you want it to feel effortless to use. 

That’s exactly what this guide walks you through.

Outdoor kitchens have moved well beyond the novelty barbecue station. If you're planning one seriously, the decisions you make at the start will determine whether it earns its place or sits unused by August.

You tidy your kitchen…
Everything looks perfect…

And then somehow, a few weeks later, it’s back to square one.

Sound familiar?

The truth is, it’s probably not you. It’s the way your kitchen has been designed.

Most cabinets aren’t planned around how you actually use them day to day – which is why things end up stacked, hidden, and forgotten. 

In this article, we break down exactly why your kitchen never stays tidy – and what should have been considered from the start.

If you’re planning a new kitchen, this is well worth a read before you commit to a layout.

Good kitchen lighting is often overlooked during the design stage, yet it has a huge impact on how your kitchen feels and functions every day.

In this article, we explore some of the most common kitchen lighting mistakes that are surprisingly difficult to fix once the kitchen is installed. From poorly positioned spotlights and shadows over worktops, to islands that look impressive but leave you working in the dark, small decisions early on can make a big difference later.

When your kitchen is properly designed, lighting should support how you cook, prepare food, and use the space throughout the day. It should highlight key areas, create atmosphere in the evening, and make the room feel comfortable to live in.

If you are planning a new kitchen, or even thinking about improving your current layout, this guide will help you avoid the problems we see far too often when lighting hasn’t been properly considered.

Choosing kitchen paint colours – what tends to go wrong (and how to avoid it)

Colour is one of the most personal decisions you’ll make when planning a kitchen. Yet it’s also one of the easiest things to misjudge.

The problem usually isn’t the colour itself. It’s how that colour sits with everything else in the room – the light, the worktops, the flooring, and the materials around it. When those elements aren’t considered together, even a beautiful shade can feel out of place.

In our latest Journal article, we look at the common mistakes people make when choosing kitchen paint colours and how a more considered approach can transform the final result.

If you’re planning a new kitchen or thinking about repainting cabinetry, it’s worth understanding how colour really behaves in a space before committing.
