Visitors to our website may have noted a recent ‘reshuffle’ of the various kitchen categories; for ease of use, customers may now browse our kitchens according to the three door styles (Chatham, Cotswold and In-Frame), with relevant case studies and examples from our ‘Inspirations’ range also included for their perusal.
In addition to this, we have added new Inspirations to the collection to give more insight into our products – and to provide some creative stimulus for customers who are just beginning their kitchen journey.

Our newest Inspiration, ‘Royal’, is a wonderful celebration of subtlety and sophistication. A design that is simple at heart, this kitchen pairs the elegant textures of super stave maple worktops with sleek In-Frame doors hand finished in Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue. As with all of our Inspirations, this ‘template’ is seen as a starting point for customisation: our designers would be very happy to work with you to adapt this design – or any other – to your exact taste, taking favourable elements from the Royal aesthetic to create unique bespoke kitchen designs for you.

If you would like to discuss your kitchen project with one of our team, please contact us or feel free to pop in to our Cheltenham showroom. We are open between 9am-5pm on weekdays and Saturdays, though out-of-hours appointments can be made by request.

This week sees the return of the popular Chelsea Flower Show, a much-celebrated annual festival of horticultural design.

Little makes a space seem more seasonal than some fresh blooms; but why should this be limited to the garden? Floral motifs are a fantastic way by which to bring a hint of summer into luxury kitchens – and there are many ways to incorporate this on-trend aesthetic.

Printed crockery can be both elegant and opulent; we particularly like the Eliza collection by Ralph Lauren home, while Cath Kidston’s nostalgic offerings are also appealing. British company Aurina have produced a beautiful ‘Vintage Floral’ set of kitchen linens that would make a wonderful, subtle accompaniment to your chosen design.

But if you’re looking for a ‘flora and fauna’ feel, prints aren’t the only option. Here are some other quick and easy ideas:

• Be creative with fresh items. Flowers floating in glass bowls or a single stem in a thin bottle are a great alternative to the traditional vase, for instance.
• Don’t let houseplants pass you by – calla lilies, potted roses and orchids all flower to stunning effect and can last for years if tended correctly.
• Jazz up afternoon tea within your kitchen by interspersing your cakes and scones with some beautiful blooms, all displayed on a dainty cake stand.
