Located in St Albans, this formerly divided home has been transformed into a harmonious open-plan space that showcases our kitchen extension expertise. The client initially approached us two years ago. Our designer, Shaun, created a plan that worked with the kitchen's existing layout, but the project was delayed due to concerns about compromises. Designer Shaun suggested that it was worth taking their kitchen plans away and considering knocking down the dividing wall to get everything they wanted out of their dream kitchen. This year, the client decided to move forward with the renovation and knocked down the wall dividing the kitchen and dining area. With this in mind, Shaun developed a new plan that the client loved. While the client also consulted with other companies, our approach ultimately impressed her. We provided design plans without requiring an upfront deposit, and unlike many companies that she had dealt with, we let her take the design plans with her, which gave her ample time to reflect on the design we created. Shaun's design expertise, combined with Rob's fitting skill, resulted in a beautiful and functional Scandi-style kitchen, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. A standout feature is the cladding, which extends from the kitchen into the dining and living areas, creating a cohesive and harmonious flow throughout the entire space. The wood tones of the panels bring warmth to the modern design. The kitchen features our Easytouch lacquered laminate range in an ultra-matt sand and taupe finish. The handleless design adds to the minimalist aesthetic. Meanwhile, Noble Calacatta Luxo 20mm worktops from Algarve Granite provide a stunning and durable surface. Top-of-the-line appliances from Siemens and Caple ensure both efficiency and style. A Blanco sink and a Quooker tap complete the functional yet stylish kitchen setup. "I would highly recommend Audus Kitchens and would work with them again. They were brilliant at drawing up a plan and great at compromising and making changes when needed. Plus, the fitters were very professional." If you're looking to transform your cooking space, whether by modifying your current layout or creating an entirely new one, contact us today.

This recent kitchen renovation in Princes Risborough perfectly showcases how thoughtful design can transform a closed-off space into a bright and open family-friendly hub. Beautifully designed by our talented kitchen designer, Sarah, this project involved much more than a simple kitchen refit. Our team managed the full scope of work, including removing an internal wall and extending the space, to create a seamless and modern open-plan layout. The result is a light-filled, welcoming kitchen that feels both spacious and practical. The cabinetry features solid wood Shaker-style doors in a soothing sage green, bringing a fresh and timeless appeal to the room. Classic cup pulls offer a stylish contrast and add to the overall charm of the design. The worktops are finished in Tuscany White Extra Quartz - a beautifully elegant choice that adds a touch of luxury and brightness to the space. Complementing this is a bespoke glass splashback, bringing a sleek, contemporary edge. Fully integrated Siemens appliances, ample storage, and practical layout considerations ensure that this kitchen looks stunning and functions effortlessly for busy family life. What made this project even more special is how it came about: through a word-of-mouth recommendation. After fitting a kitchen for our customer’s neighbour, she knew exactly who to trust with bringing her own dream kitchen to life. Inspired by this transformation?

Jenny and David purchased their home in lockdown and really wanted to replace the tiny dated kitchen with something practical and safe around their toddler. Even though they would have liked a bigger kitchen they knew they would have to wait until they could afford a larger house. Knowing this was not going to be their forever home I advised that we give them a practical and usable kitchen that would increase the value of the property down the line and not break the bank with a high ticket-priced kitchen.

Our Snug Kitchens showroom display combines bespoke traditional joinery, seamless modern appliances and a touch of art deco from the fluted glass walk in larder. The 'Studio Green' painted cabinetry creates a bold background that highlights the kitchens brass accents. Including Armac Martin Sparkbrook brass handles and patinated brass Quooker fusion tap. The Neolith Calacatta Luxe worktop uniquely combines deep grey tones, browns and subtle golds on a pure white base. The veneered oak cabinet internals and breakfast bar are stained in a dark wash to compliment the dark green door and drawer fronts. As part of this display we included a double depth walk-in larder, complete with suspended open shelving, u-shaped worktop slab and fluted glass paneling. We hand finished the support rods to patina the brass ensuring they matched the other antique brass accents in the kitchen.
