Whatever your look or layout, you’ll find kitchen advice to kit out your space in style.

1. Rely on reeded

Introduce on-trend texture with reeded kitchen panels – a fashionable feature that adds a tactile, timber accent and leading lines to a space.
2. Polish with panels

Conceal exposed cabinetry with matching kitchen panels, which hide unsightly edges. Match the finish of cupboard fronts for a cohesive look.

3. Elevate the design

Cap cupboards with kitchen cornices. @brownhirstjoinery shows how this decorative detail adds a final flourish to even bold, dark designs.

4. Cover up fixtures

Made to be fitted at the base of wall units, kitchen pelmets bring a neat border to cupboards while discreetly hiding exposed elements from view.

5. Keep bottles close by

@artisanarenastudio chose to add a wine rack, which offers a convenient, wall-mounted spot to store bottles within easy reach.

6. Raise your profile

Pair profiles with a handleless design to accentuate leading lines. Choose from a selection of shades – @camillas_casa opted for black to contrast a white kitchen.

7. Pick plinths

Use plinths to hide empty space and fixtures beneath base cabinets. In @studiofantoush's design, the plinth matches the vibrancy of the cupboards.

8. Protect hard edges

Preserve the pristine look of your layout. Corner protectors prevent wear and tear from regular knocks and scrapes, so your busy kitchen still looks its best.

9. Access for all

Cabinet legs raise base units, with adjustable options that increase the height of the cupboard and counter. Great for improving accessibility for all.

10. Forget-me-not fittings

Easy to use for a fast install, clips and seal strips keep plinths in place, meaning debris, dust, and crumbs can’t get under cupboards.
