The Big Picture

Contemporary

Some kitchens defy classification; they borrow from classic craftsmanship and bring in modern touches like deep colour schemes, handleless cabinetry and sleek, cutting edge appliances. These aren't your classic farmhouse kitchens, they have a healthy dose of modern styling to bring them right onto trend whilst retaining timeless styling to give them staying power.

Contemporary as a word means "belonging to the present" and our Contemporary kitchens are very much that. Sitting at the cutting edge of current trends these kitchens borrow classic touches and take a brave jump into the unknown. These are the kitchens we love to design, because they give us a chance to try something new and create a kitchen that truly stand out.

“We love to experiment, to blur the lines between modern and classic and give you a truly unique kitchen that fits your style perfectly”
