A stunning classic shaker kitchen in a unique cottage style property in Halesowen.  Our client’s property had lots of period features; including beautiful church style arched lead windows; and low ceilings with joists showing.

The feature windows were at quite a low level; using Corian worktops meant that we could take the worktop into the window reveals creating a seamless finish; inviting you to look out through the windows.

A large range cooker was the centre piece of the kitchen.  We designed a bespoke canopy with a beautiful solid oak beam, in keeping with the style of the property; with a Westin Cache extractor built in.

Our clients wanted an open feel to their kitchen, so we created a display wall. We designed a glass fronted dresser with bi-fold doors, and oak shelves to either side of the canopy.

Curved units helped the kitchen to flow; particularly in the tighter area around the large American style fridge-freezer. 

A peninsula gave extra storage space and a seating area; it also helped to define the separate kitchen and dining area.

Karndean flooring completed the look.

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.
