Ideal Home Kitchen Awards

Celebrating the very best in kitchen design, the Ideal Home Kitchen Awards, held annually, have selected Howdens Elmbridge Kitchen in dove grey as the Best Classic Kitchen of 2022. Chosen by a panel of expert judges, the winning style was just one of three nominated for this year’s awards. Our Chilcomb In Frame Kitchens in navy and pebble came in as close second for the prestigious Kitchen of the Year title.

With a beaded frame and solid-wood core - Elmbridge is the ultimate choice for a classic look. Available in various colours, including winning shade of dove grey, these 22mm-thick doors are premium and robust.

The added border of Chilcomb In-Frame complements its 20mm-thick, solid-wood, shaker doors. An array of shades, including Ideal Home’s top picks of navy and pebble, make it easy to create a bespoke interior too.
