Project Details

A striking shaker kitchen painted to order in Baltic green with light grey cabinetry.  Our clients in Salwarpe, near Droitwich lived in a beautiful Grade II listed period property.  Having recently bought the property, the only thing letting the house down was the rather shabby, outdated kitchen that didn’t fit with the rest of the property.

The kitchen felt spacious due to the high ceilings but wasn’t overly wide.  However, we were able to utilise the existing alcoves for an aga and in-built storage for a tall fridge and freezer, a combi-oven and a space tower. 

This allowed us to include an island with lots of storage drawers, an open bookshelf and a pull out bin.  This led down to the sink area which needed to house a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher.

The extra deep worktop in the sink area flowed into the window sill.  Angled base units near the doorway meant that we could use as much space as possible but still leave plenty of space to enter the room from outside.

Extra high wall units were used, including glass display cabinets, a bespoke tray space and wine rack.

Corian worktops in Arrowroot with a Quooker tap helped to complete the transformation; with space for a good sized table and chairs at the opposite end of the room.

A Personal Journey with Matthew James

At Matthew James Kitchens, we've been at the heart of homes for generations, watching kitchen trends evolve while staying true to timeless craftsmanship. As a family-run business deeply rooted in our community, we understand that your kitchen is more than just a room—it's the soul of your home.

Have a question?

As a family-run business that values transparency, we understand the importance of timing. Every kitchen is unique, just like the families we serve. Typically, from initial design to the final polished surface, a bespoke kitchen can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. But rest assured, we'll work closely with you to ensure the process fits seamlessly into your life.

This is where our expertise truly shines. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, as each home and homeowner has different needs. We take pride in sitting down with you, perhaps over a cup of tea in our showroom, to understand how you live, cook, and entertain. Whether it's a classic work triangle or a more modern zoned approach, we'll craft a layout that's as functional as it is beautiful

This is a question we get asked all the time. In our experience, clever storage solutions are the unsung heroes of a well-designed kitchen. From pull-out pantries to bespoke corner units, we have a myriad of tricks up our sleeves to ensure every inch of your kitchen works hard. After all, a clutter-free kitchen is a joy to cook in, whether you're whipping up a quick weekday dinner or hosting a grand Sunday roast for the family.
