Alexander KitchensUltramodern German Kitchen in Mannings Heath, West Sussex
Designer Alistair was tasked with creating a new layout to enhance storage and make the most of a family dining area for this client.
The Brief
This client approached our design team seeking to transform a kitchen that didn’t really suit their family’s needs.
They required a lot more storage in the overall kitchen area and also sought to improve a bright dining area with a cohesive design to help them use this space better. With a young family breakfast bar was a key request, so the parents could keep an eye out at for the children eating breakfast or doing homework.
Open shelving, new appliances, a new radiator, dining room storage amongst others were just some of the additional requests for this renovation.
As part of the project flooring, lighting and adjustments to electrical points were required, all to be undertaken by our in-house team.
Design Elements
From early consultations this client was keen on an ultramodern theme, opting for a subtle Satin Grey finish from our German kitchen maker Nobilia. They toyed with the idea of a two-tone design, and in the end opted to use a Concrete Terra Grey for lower base units which adds a nice contrast to the design. These finishes have been chosen in handleless form to add to the modern style.
The design utilises a u-shape layout like their previous kitchen but includes extra cabinetry around the entrance to the dining room for storage and of course the important breakfast bar area.
This wrap-around island design is an inventive addition to the space and nicely connects the kitchen area to the dining area. Opposite the breakfast bar a small run of units including a broom cupboard creates further storage space.
Into the family design is one of the highlights of this project, the dining room and sideboard storage. This area combines matching sideboard style storage with glass fronted units, ideal for storing glassware and decorative items. Acupanel has been installed between the units and adds a nice natural element to this space.
Special Inclusions
A key element of the brief was the use of decorative units, which have been deployed to soften the design and for the client to add their own personal touches. Open shelving has been installed in the kitchen area and aforementioned glass units in the dining room.
To add greater function to the kitchen the client also sought to improve their array of appliances opting for new Neff models. Built into tall units a Slide & Hide single oven, combination oven and warming drawer have been installed, and adjacent an induction hob and overhead extractor have also been fitted.
To help with cleaning a Neff dishwasher has been integrated behind furniture close to the sink area, which itself has a Quooker boiling water tap installed above. The sink is a hard-wearing granite composed option from supplier Blanco which ties in well with the white quartz worktops chosen from supplier Caesarstone named Snow.
Flooring throughout the kitchen and dining room is from British brand Karndean and is a medium-oak finish named Pale Lined Oak.
A fair share of ancillary work has also been completed with this project; the ceiling and lighting required attention in the kitchen area with associated plastering, a new full-height radiator installed, as well as adjustment of electrical points for convenience.
Project Highlight
The undoubtable highlight of this project is the dining room storage, which combines several furniture options fantastically.
This area adds much needed storage to the overall design as well as natural texture which ties in nicely with other design choices.
The End Result
This project achieves all the elements of this project brief, with an extremely inventive design.
A clever design wraps into the dining area as required in a space itself that has been enhanced to suit the future requirements of this client.
As part of this project a lot of ancillary work in particular special inclusions like the installation of radiators and flooring throughout, all undertaken by our in-house installation team.

Alexander KitchensAuthentic British Kitchen in Worthing, West Sussex
A traditional kitchen with handmade cabinetry and dovetail joinery was required for this sunny seaside renovation.
The Brief
An ultra-luxurious, authentic kitchen was required for this development project undertaken by our contract department. To tie in with high ceilings and sash windows a traditional theme was sought to impress potential suitors of this wonderful property.
The property is a four-storey townhouse near to the seaside in Worthing and has been developed to an exceptional standard for a private client.
Design Elements
The developer already had an idea of the layout of the space, with a wall-to-wall run and island as the preferred configuration.
To add the authentic, traditional element to the project our handmade British kitchen option from Mereway Kitchens was required, boasting handmade cabinetry and dovetail joinery. A Diamond Grey finish has been opted for, which combines nicely with the sparkling quartz work surfaces.
Special Inclusions
To match the premium furnishings with premium functionality, a combination of Siemens cooking appliances has been utilised. Notable inclusions are a Siemens warming drawer, a combination oven and a Caple wine cabinet.
Integrated appliances have been opted for in the form of Siemens refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher.
Project Highlight
The real standout of this project is the handmade cabinetry, which matches the grandeur of this property in every way. The dovetailed oak joinery is exhibited across all drawers and cupboards in this kitchen space.
Understated door knobs and cup handles have been chosen to match the traditional style.
The End Result
This project is a fantastic example of the exceptional handcrafted cabinetry that we can offer from our British supplier. The detail and special inclusions add a fantastic allure to this kitchen thanks to a great design and installation from our contracts team.

Alexander Kitchens
The Brief
This client sought to move their kitchen to an open-plan area at the rear of the property, whilst transforming their previous kitchen into a home office. As part of the project, they required all new electrical, water and gas connections into the new room in addition to the kitchen.
From early project conversations a traditional theme was favoured to better suit this property in the rural surroundings of Henfield. As keen cooks, the clients wished to improve their cooking space with an array of new appliances.
Design Elements
Designer Alistair has created a layout and theme to achieve all the elements of the project brief.
The layout utilises an L-shaped run with plenty of tall units to encompass this client’s storage and appliance desirables, in addition to a sizeable island which was a key requirement. The island area adds plenty of worktop space for food preparation and cooking, as well as providing seating for two and a space to perch whilst cooking.
A traditional theme has been achieved by utilising handcrafted in-frame furniture from one of our British suppliers. The colour combination of taupe grey for the main kitchen area, and light grey for the island is a subtle choice that suits the space perfectly.
A Dekton work surface was opted for throughout the kitchen space, this has been chosen in the finish Salina, which teams well with grey accents in this design.
To store dry foods an all-in-one storage option was required to keep things neat and tidy. Designer Alistair recommended a full-height pantry, which is equipped with shelving, drawer storage and door-mounted spice racks.
The array of appliances were also to be located in one area of the kitchen, and so the space in between has been designed with wall units to differ from a run of full-height units. Here a undermounted sink has been installed, in addition to a dishwasher, integrated bin-store, and corner storage. This area has also been enhanced with a glass splashback, useful wall unit mounted plug sockets, and undercabinet lighting.
Special Inclusions
As keen cooks an array of appliances to help with kitchen functionality and enjoyment was key.
A selection of premium Neff appliances have been utilised for this project, including two Slide & Hide single ovens, a combination microwave, built-in coffee centre, full-height refrigerator and full-height freezer.
Placed upon the island is a sizeable five-burner Neff gas hob which is where most of the cooking in this household will take place. The hob has been placed on the island so the clients can indulge in their cooking and watch rugby on TV at the same time. Above this area a ceiling mounted extractor has been built to remove any cooking odours.
Project Highlight
Oak internals are a beautiful element of any kitchen and so are the highlight of this project.
The dovetailed drawer boxes best showcase the handcrafted internals in this kitchen, as well as the door-mounted spice racks within the pantry.
The End Result
This project is another that showcases the capabilities of our complete design and installation option.
Designer Alistair has created a clever design that achieves all elements of the project brief and perfectly captures the client’s ambitions for this space. The kitchen itself is a fantastic example of our illustrious in-frame British kitchen option, that has been installed with great care and precision.

The hob has been placed on the island so the clients can indulge in their cooking and watch rugby on TV at the same time. Above this area a ceiling mounted extractor has been built to remove any cooking odours.

KBK - Custom Kitchens Designers based in BrisbaneThis light-filled, elegantly designed kitchen, close to the water at Clontarf, hallmarks classic Hampton elements and oozes style and sophistication.
The clasically detailed island features a traditional white ceramic butlers basin, a concealed pull out bin and storage for crockery. The deep bench-top accommodates seating for casual dining at the back of the island. Its shaker style fronts in Resene Gumboot stand out beautifully against the crisp white cabinetry behind.
Chunky floating shelves run perfectly into the side of the stainless steel canopy rangehood, providing an open space to display crockery or cookbooks adding a homely feeling and visual interest to the space.
A cleverly designed walk-in pantry located just off the kitchen boasts ample storage and bench space and also includes a second sink and a dishwasher.
Sheffield Sustainable KitchensWe designed this cosy grey family kitchen with reclaimed timber and elegant brass finishes, to work better with our clients’ style of living. We created this new space by knocking down an internal wall, to greatly improve the flow between the two rooms.
Our clients came to us with the vision of creating a better functioning kitchen with more storage for their growing family. We were challenged to design a more cost-effective space after the clients received some architectural plans which they thought were unnecessary. Storage and open space were at the forefront of this design.
Previously, this space was two rooms, separated by a wall. We knocked through to open up the kitchen and create a more communal family living area. Additionally, we knocked through into the area under the stairs to make room for an integrated fridge freezer.
The kitchen features reclaimed iroko timber throughout. The wood is reclaimed from old school lab benches, with the graffiti sanded away to reveal the beautiful grain underneath. It’s exciting when a kitchen has a story to tell. This unique timber unites the two zones, and is seen in the worktops, homework desk and shelving.
Our clients had two growing children and wanted a space for them to sit and do their homework. As a result of the lack of space in the previous room, we designed a homework bench to fit between two bespoke units. Due to lockdown, the clients children had spent most of the year in the dining room completing their school work. They lacked space and had limited storage for the children’s belongings. By creating a homework bench, we gave the family back their dining area, and the units on either side are valuable storage space. Additionally, the clients are now able to help their children with their work whilst cooking at the same time. This is a hugely important benefit of this multi-functional space.
The beautiful tiled splashback is the focal point of the kitchen. The combination of the teal and vibrant yellow into the muted colour palette brightens the room and ties together all of the brass accessories. Golden tones combined with the dark timber give the kitchen a cosy ambiance, creating a relaxing family space.
The end result is a beautiful new family kitchen-diner. The transformation made by knocking through has been enormous, with the reclaimed timber and elegant brass elements the stars of the kitchen. We hope that it will provide the family with a warm and homely space for many years to come.
