Modern Kitchens - Chic And Sophisticated

Project 1: Mr and Mrs B. Leigh on sea
This traditional kitchen feels effortlessly timeless with warm neutral tones, elegant quartz worktops, and charming brushed brass accents that add just the right touch of class.

Project 2: Mr And Mrs R from Stifford Clays
A stylish two-tone kitchen featuring a spacious walk-in pantry, classic painted timber door, and sleek quartz worktops. The generous island offers plenty of seating and even includes the all-important wine fridge! A roomy utility room completes this beautifully functional family kitchen.



Project 3: Mr and Mrs B, Billericay
The client was after a true WOW factor, so we created a standout breakfast bar using a striking smashed mirror effect, carried through to the splashback for added impact. The design featured sleek white gloss J Pull doors paired with dark grey quartz worktops, delivering a bold and modern finish.

Traditional Kitchens - Timeless
Project 1: Mr and Mrs N, Sevenoaks
What a showstopper of a kitchen! The client opted for a stunning In-Frame design in grey and Prussian blue, with the island colour matched perfectly to their Lacanche range. Set within a characterful 13th-century home, the kitchen complements the property's charm beautifully. To finish the look, we chose a timeless grey and white granite worktop, adding elegance and depth to the space.



Project 2: Mr and Mrs W, Hockley
This beautiful two-tone kitchen showcases the elegant Melrose door in a combination of Dakar and Cashmere. We paired it with sleek white quartz worktops and premium Neff appliances for a clean, modern finish. To meet the client’s request for a discreet appliance area, we incorporated stylish bi-folding doors to create a practical and seamless hideaway.

Project 3: Mr and Mrs F, Wickford
The clients wanted to make the most of their narrow kitchen by creating a light and airy feel. To achieve this, we chose the Melrose door in a soft Cashmere finish, which helped open up the space beautifully. Quartz worktops were paired with a matching splashback, bringing both elegance and cohesion to the overall design.



Project 4: Mr and Mrs B, Rayleigh
The client requested the removal of a wall to create a more open-plan space. With young children in the home, they wanted to stay connected to them while they played in the snug area. Practical storage for toys was also a key requirement. The kitchen features the Melrose door in Cashmere, complemented by laminate worktops to keep the project within budget. The result is a significant and impressive transformation, blending functionality with family-friendly design.

Project 5: Mr and Mrs L, Benfleet
The client had recently moved into the property and wanted to update the kitchen quickly. The home's colour scheme centred around greys and white, which we reflected in the kitchen design. We chose a shaker door in dust grey, paired with practical laminate worktops, creating a fresh and cohesive look that complements the rest of the house.



Project 6: Mr and Mrs B, Canvey Island
The client desired a traditional kitchen in soft, neutral tones. We selected a shaker door in cashmere, complemented by elegant grey quartz worktops. To maintain a consistent look, the adjoining utility room was also updated to match the kitchen’s style and colour palette.

Project 7: Mr and Mrs H, Leigh-on-Sea
The client wanted a brighter kitchen to replace their previous dark one. We chose the Melrose door in a soft off-white shade, paired with stunning Emerald Pearl granite worktops. They retained several of their existing appliances, which blended seamlessly into the refreshed, light-filled space.



Project 8: Mr and Mrs S, Benfleet
The client desired a light and fresh kitchen to replace their dark, dated one. We selected the Legno white shaker-style doors, beautifully contrasted with black sparkle granite worktops. Fortunately, the client had a spacious utility room, which we also renovated to complement the new kitchen perfectly.

Tru Rail Kitchens - Elegant and Modern
Project 1: Mr and Mrs C, Wickford
The client had an extension built and originally planned to install the kitchen on the opposite side. However, once the extension was complete, it became clear that the space wouldn’t accommodate all their requirements. We then developed a new design tailored to the client’s needs. The kitchen features Tru Rail doors in White and Cashmere matte finishes, with a striking island that serves as the room’s focal point. To finish the look, we chose a beautiful white quartz worktop, perfectly complementing the overall design.



Project 2: Mr and Mrs E, Benfleet
What a striking Tru Rail kitchen! The client chose to combine two contrasting door colours — matte grey and light grey concrete — for a sleek, contemporary feel. We paired these with pristine white quartz worktops to perfectly finish the look. Adding the final flourish, we supplied and fitted elegant herringbone-patterned flooring, elevating the room’s overall sophistication.

Project 3: Mr and Mrs P, Langdon Hills
The client was clearly looking to add some colour to their kitchen. We chose a classic white gloss door paired with rich brown Amazon quartz worktops to perfectly complement the vibrant, colourful wall, delivering a kitchen that truly reflected the customer’s vision.



Project 4: Mr and Mrs R, Billericay
What a truly contemporary kitchen! The client selected Tru Rail-style Concrete doors, which beautifully enhanced the modern aesthetic of the space. They also opted for white quartz worktops and a full suite of Neff appliances to complete the look.

Project 5: Mr and Mrs P, Leigh On Sea
A striking black and cashmere Tru Rail kitchen featuring white Orion granite worktops. To enhance the sense of space, we incorporated an antique mirror splashback, adding depth and character. The finishing touch was a Quooker hot tap, combining style with practical luxury.



Project 6: Mr and Mrs M, Rayleigh
This client had an extension built and wanted a sleek, modern look for their new space. They chose dark concrete doors, paired with stunning veined quartz worktops, creating a kitchen that’s both contemporary and elegant.

Project 7: Miss P, Leigh-on-Sea
The client desired a modern, clean look, so we selected Tru Rail doors in gloss white paired with white quartz worktops. A wine cooler was added as a stylish and practical bonus to complete the space.
