Traditional KiTCHENS for South East London
Traditional Kitchen Design
Sympathetic, not just complementary
Most of the kitchens we design in Victorian and Edwardian houses across South East London are modern by design. The modern juxtaposed with the traditional, updating the space rather than matching it.
A traditional kitchen is for the opposite instinct, for people who want the kitchen to read as though it always belonged in the space rather than announce itself as something new.
In-frame: the traditional end of the range
We don't build the heavily ornate end of the traditional market. Raised and fielded panels, cornicing and glazed dresser fronts aren't part of what we offer. What we call a traditional kitchen is still a shaker door, the same five pieces of timber as everything on our shaker range. What changes is the construction behind it, and how heavy or light that construction reads.

What Customers Say
One idea, from two directions
Post-war Italian design stripped back only what wasn’t necessary, and let function decide what stayed. The Shaker movement in Britain arrived at something similar from a different direction: no ornament without purpose, every joint doing real work. Two traditions, worked from opposite ends of Europe, landing on the same idea. Building in-frame alongside our Italian ranges is that idea.
READY TO START THE PROCESS?
We don't have a full in-frame kitchen staged in the showroom at the moment, but Andrew keeps door samples and finish charts at the Brockley studio, and can talk you through in-frame, lay-on and everything the construction changes, in person.
