what is a traditional kitchen?

It's a design that we are always pleased to go back to
it is familiar and reassuring.
The world changes so fast, it's good to have a base that is
unchanging, reliable & pleasing
good design and practical construction that has been confirmed by generations
It is also about appropriateness, looking right in its surroundings
Here you can see the classic shaker kitchen, solid beech worktops, butlers sink,
little turned wooden knobs and handpainted cream cabinetry. Plate rack and shelving
a kitchen that is practical, pleasing to look at, inspires one to cook and is welcoming to all

The farmhouse oak, here seen in a 16th century kitchen, part of our heritage.
Simply designed practical details in the door fronts and shelf brackets.
These would have been built by the same men who fitted the roof beams, built the stable door and fixed the horse drawn cart. Carpenters who knew how to make what was needed.
A beautiful workshop

Another kitchen was built for a large 1920s house that had a hint of Arts & Crafts about it.
The customer knew exactly what she wanted, explained in about 10 minutes and left me to it. Adding a few details inspired by the style of the house we created a kitchen that could well have been fitted when the house was built
The large Oak dresser is a fine example of very simple design.
The beauty is in the elegant proportions and warm comforting glow of solid oak
I have also included two examples of freestanding furniture.
The blue shaker style and the cottage style with its pull-out baskets and glazed lattice doors. . A kitchen is not just a workshop crammed full of endless cupboards. There needs to be space to move around with a cup of coffee or glass of wine, somewhere to display beautiful serving dishes, vases and quirky teapots. Relax a little
