In Frame Kitchen Ideas

All about adding a bespoke border to your design, these in-frame kitchen ideas show how to style a space with this custom feature. In-frame kitchens have a decorative profile fitted to the top, bottom, and sides of a cupboard door. Great for creating a hand-crafted aesthetic, this framing pays tribute to traditional interiors. Explore our kitchen style ideas to inspire your makeover, including our favourite examples from real homes.
