Brand new fitted bedroom furniture in this Derbyshire home.

After a complete kitchen renovation – that helped the client fall back in love with a house they were originally going to sell – we were invited back to design, make and install wardrobes, drawers and headboards in four bedrooms.

The Shaker Style furniture was designed to maximise space and style in this busy family home.

When it comes to kitchen design, handles are one of those decisions that people often leave until last – but they shouldn't.

The right handle can shift a kitchen from traditional to contemporary, from understated to bold, from quiet craftsmanship to something that really makes a statement.

A slim, brushed brass bar handle brings warmth and a touch of the boutique. A chunky cup handle nods to something more classic and considered. A matte black pull handle feels architectural and modern.

And then there's the choice to have no handle at all.

Handleless kitchens create a beautifully clean, seamless look – where the cabinetry itself becomes the design. Integrated push-to-open mechanisms means every surface is uninterrupted and every line is deliberate.

Both approaches have their place. It just depends on how you want your kitchen to feel for you.

The handle brands we've used include:

This is a design we're regularly asked to repeat!

The client's brief asked for an ultra-modern kitchen packed with high-end appliances and all the storage a family home needs.

They were thrilled with the finish!

This full-width kitchen extension incorporates a sleek, handleless finish with soft-close doors and drawers, created in oak veneer and factory-painted in Charleston Gray.

We also made a TV media unit and bespoke dining table to finish this truly contemporary kitchen and living space.

We're officially in spring... even though the weather is still a bit confused.

However, it's the perfect time of year for kitchen inspiration with a spring aesthetic.

A spring-inspired kitchen doesn't have to feel trendy or bold, but a softer colour palette can make it feel lighter, more welcoming, and even more spacious.

The most obvious place for colour is your cabinets, but it's not the only opportunity – tiles, walls, stools, shelving, accessories and lighting can do a lot of that work for you.

Whether you choose soft blush accents such as warm cream or powder blue, or more natural colours such as lavender or sage green, each one brings something different to the kitchen where it's used.

Explore the gallery of the spring-spiration kitchens we've designed, handcrafted and installed over the years.

Did you know that wine bottles should be stored horizontally to keep the cork moist and prevent oxygen spoiling your wine? Now you do!

It's one of the many reasons why more and more of our customers are requesting wine coolers during our early conversations.

Whether used for extra space or to create a statement showpiece in your kitchen, they provide superior wine storage compared to traditional kitchen fridges, with dual red/white zones for all of your favourites.

They also add a luxurious and modern aesthetic to any kitchen redesign.

Scroll to the end for one that definitely helps during parties!

Statement media walls that work for you.

Over the years, we've designed and made media walls and units for a variety of properties – all of them are expertly designed and crafted to suit each customer's needs.

This results in cleaner looking rooms, more organised storage and hidden cables, with media units integrated into the architecture of their homes.

A modern kitchen should be practical enough to use every day, but the perfect space to entertain your friends when they come over.

After all, everyone always congregates around the island when you're hosting!

It's closer to the fridge than the living room... 🍷
