The kitchen really has become the focal point of the home, be it in The Cotswolds, London or in any other beautiful part of the country. It is more and more becoming the hub of the house and the ideal room in which to entertain family and friends. Perfect for informal suppers, a superb space to chat over coffee in the morning, or relax with a glass of wine in the evening whilst sharing the cooking tasks. Creating a welcoming yet functional space in the kitchen is therefore key and we think the following kitchen designers and makers have nailed it!

Lansdown Kitchens

For a bespoke, premium service and a luxury, modern kitchen then make Lansdown Kitchens your first stop. Lansdown Kitchens are partners of the esteemed Villeroy & Boch brand, a German manufacturer that prides itself on being leaders in modern, innovative design since 1748.

The team at Lansdown Kitchen are really lovely and passionate about bringing your dream kitchen to life. While you choose which style of kitchen from the Villeroy & Boch design collections for inspiration, you can also detail what you need exactly from your new kitchen and then their team of designers and interiors specialists will work to bring your vision to life.

They will be opening a showroom in Cheltenham in early 2023 where you will be able to see their full collection of luxury kitchen furniture and meet their expert team to find out more.

Plain English

We are huge fans of Plain English. Everything about them shouts out beauty, style and elegance. Blending both classic style with contemporary lifestyle demands, Plain English gains inspiration from the grand Georgian Farmhouse in Suffolk which has been converted over the years and is still home to the workshops and design studios used today to create their bespoke cupboards and kitchens. From small beginnings in the Suffolk countryside in 1992, the company now also has showrooms in London and New York. Firm believers in tradition, their exceptional kitchens are made by hand: "measured and imagined, sawn and sanded, hammered and pegged, honed and jointed, lined and waxed, polished and painted." - Plain English. It doesn't get more hands on than that!
