Traditional kitchens in Leicestershire
A kitchen that looks as though it has always belonged there. We design traditional kitchens for homes with character and the way you live in them, and where a standard size or colour won't do, we make it in our own workshop.
What makes a kitchen traditional
A traditional kitchen takes its cues from furniture rather than fitted units: raised panels or beading on the doors, cornices along the wall cupboards, and freestanding-style pieces like a dresser or a tall larder. Where shaker is plain by design, traditional enjoys detail.
- At home in cottages, farmhouses and period houses
- Planned around walls that are rarely straight
- Suits households who cook and gather in the kitchen
Colours and finishes
Creams, stone and soft putty shades are the classic choice, while deep greens, inky blues and earthy reds give real presence, especially on a dresser or island. If the colour you want isn't in the range, we make and paint that piece in our own workshop.
Details to choose from
The furniture-style pieces are what make a traditional kitchen. Our Market Harborough showroom has a hidden pantry that's worth seeing for ideas.
Larders
A walk-in or cupboard larder is one of the most useful things a kitchen can have.
Range cookers
A range cooker often anchors the room, set into a chimney breast or a surround.
Dressers and glazed units
Display space for the things you love, and glass that stops the room feeling heavy.
Traditional kitchens we've designed
Each layout is planned around the quirks of the house and how the household cooks and eats.
The Chiltern Green Kitchen
A home for a large collection of pots, pans, baking items and roasting trays, with nothing on display and nothing piled up in a corner cupboard.

Read enough of our reviews and the same words keep coming up: listened, no pressure, no hidden extras.
“Any issues that cropped up during the build were resolved quickly.”
“We were listened to at all stages, there were no hidden or unexpected extras to pay.”
“Everything is made locally, bespoke to your requirements.”
Traditional kitchen questions
How is traditional different from a shaker kitchen?
Shaker uses a plain framed door with no decoration. Traditional adds detail: shaped door panels, cornices, pilasters and furniture-style pieces like dressers and larders. Many kitchens sit somewhere between the two, and we're happy to design one that does.
Will a traditional kitchen work in a small room?
Yes, with care. Lighter colours, glazed wall units and fewer heavy mouldings stop it feeling crowded, and a tall larder often gives you more storage than a run of wall cupboards.
Can you fit a kitchen in an old house with uneven walls?
Older houses are rarely square. We measure carefully and plan around it, and where a standard cabinet won't fit, we can make one to size in our own workshop.
