Popular Door Designs
We can make anything out of wood, and often clients will approach us for a new door design. However below are some of our favourite styles we most often use. From the very traditional Rye style cabinetry with traditional cockbeading, to our Grosvenor style with beading that splits with the frame and everything in-between.
The Westminster
Traditional Shaker style cabinetry with a hint of modernity, it is a simple take on the traditional shaker door, without the decorative cockbeading that the Rye style has. Comes as standard with feet but can be taken off.
The Applegate
The Applegate kitchen (named after the first clients to choose this style) is a modern take on the traditional shaker style. With units flush to the floor, cut-out handles and flat contrasting drawers, this design certainly has more 21st century feel to it.
The Rye
The Rye is our take on the traditional English kitchen. The Rye has a traditional shaker doors and a detailed frame called a cockbead. As with the Westminster this style, this range comes as standard with feet but can be changed to skirting if you wish.
The Westgate
A contemporary take on the traditional Shaker style kitchen, with a T- bar panel separating each unit and much thinner shaker panel. The Westgate is designed after Westgate Towers in Canterbury, and built to stand the test of time. Often used with brass and ripple glass, this kitchen style can look very art deco with specific styling.
