Turn To Timber Styles

Solid wood has always been a staple in lavish interiors, thanks to its warmth and natural charm. So, why not choose this high-end material for your kitchen doors? Ours are made with a solid ash frame and a classic, 5-piece shaker construction. Each door is expertly finished to highlight the natural grain of the wood, which brings character to a space.

Opt For In-Frame

Bespoke details are a hallmark of a high-end kitchen. In-frame cupboards have a border that surrounds each door or drawer for a custom-made look, making them a great choice for your kitchen. Use this style to create a stately space that’s built to last.

Personalise Your Palette

A high-end kitchen should feel personal to you, so pick painted door fronts. Our paint-to-order palette is available on our solid timber kitchens and includes 24 curated colours. All the shades can be mixed and matched to create a custom design. Don’t worry if your tastes change in the future – these doors can be sanded and repainted to keep your kitchen feeling fresh.

Add Cream Cabinets

Simplicity is at the heart of luxury kitchens, making cream a sophisticated choice. Its low-key warmth is easy on the eye and brings a refined quality to a room. When used on kitchen cabinets, it creates a neutral backdrop for statement features or rich textures — all elements that create a deluxe decor.

Add Matt Cabinets

Luxury kitchen designs are more than just looks—they’re about how a space feels. That’s why matt fronts work so well. Their muted finish softens light for a calm atmosphere, while the smooth texture adds a tactile feature. The Hockley collection has our most premium matt finish that elevates any kitchen.

Focus On Storage

Luxury kitchen designs don’t just look good – they work smart, too. Thoughtful storage, like drawer boxes and built-in pantries, keep surfaces clear and essentials within reach. The result is a space that feels calm, considered, and elevated.

Anthracite Drawer Boxes

With a rich, dark finish and spacious design, our anthracite drawers combine style and function. They offer a sophisticated way to organise essentials while keeping the layout refined inside and out.

Oak Door Balconies

Made from solid timber, our door balconies bring warmth and premium texture to cabinet interiors. They also keep condiments and spices within easy reach — a small detail that reflects the thoughtful functionality of luxe spaces.

Pantries

Larders are popular in upscale kitchens, giving everyday essentials a home for a considered look. Use your pantry as a bespoke breakfast station with coffee machines and cereals – or turn it into a bar area for after-work drinks.

Multi-functional Taps

A high-end kitchen still needs to be practical. Multi-functional taps, like Quooker, are a quick way to upgrade a space because they serve boiling, filtered, chilled, or sparkling water instantly. They also replace bulky kettles, freeing up worktops for a cleaner, more refined look.

Think About Lighting

Good lighting can change everything. The right mix will lift the whole kitchen, making it look inviting and feel more premium. LEDs are great for this idea because they’re simple to install and can be cut to fit your space. Place them out of sight to create an elevated design.

Invest In Tech

Luxury kitchens are about convenience and saving time, so look for clever appliances, like a split cavity Lamona oven. This model lets you cook starters and dessert side by side, so dinner is on the table faster. Our exclusive Lamona appliances are packed with tech that makes life easier, helping to bring smart and affordable luxury into your kitchen.
