This was a kitchen for a lady in Halesowen whose existing kitchen was in need of complete modernisation.  As although the existing kitchen, fitted by her husband, had stood the test of time it wasn’t really very practical for her now. 

With this in mind we needed storage that was more easily accessible. So we included two L shape corner units with carousels, two large sets of pan drawers and a pull out bin.  We also needed to include a built in double oven with another pan drawer underneath for easy access storage. An integrated fridge freezer meant that the fridge was easy to use comfortably. And never having had a dishwasher before we managed to squeeze a 45cm dishwasher in between the sink unit and built in washing machine.

Our client chose solid oak shaker doors painted in mussel and chalk with a laminate worktop in sand spark. Cream subway style tiles were used as an upstand and complete splash back behind the hob; going all the way up to the extractor.

Our client had a pine dining table that worked perfectly in the space but didn’t really fit in with the style of the kitchen now.  We arranged to have this spray painted in a book matched colour to the kitchen doors. This completed the overall look of the kitchen.

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.
