Kitchen perfection

Your kitchen is more than just a place to cook, it’s the heartbeat of the home and a place where function and style intertwine. Our kitchen options range from modern to classic designs with a variety of cabinet finishes, worktops and appliances.

One of the newest options to our collection is the Langdale range from Symphony Kitchens. Offering a classic country style in calm and soothing colours, this is the perfect choice if you’re after a tranquil feel. While the range comes in a variety of colours, our favourite is the sophisticated fern green which taps into the trend of bringing the outdoors in and brings a calming influence to your home.

If you prefer a more modern vibe, our sleek Linear range makes a bold statement. We know that finishing touches are important too and no matter what your style, our range of work surfaces and storage solutions will help you to create the kitchen of your dreams.

Set the tone with flooring

Flooring can completely change the feel of your space and is the foundation of your home’s aesthetic. Getting the balance right between style and functionality can be tricky but our wide range of options mean you can select the flooring that works best for your lifestyle.

Whether it’s plush carpet for your bedroom, elegant tiles for your bathroom or hardwearing Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) for your lounge and hallways you can mix and match so your home meets your needs - while being stylish.

For a sense of luxury, Amtico parquet flooring is a popular choice. This high-quality herringbone vinyl tile adds a touch of sophistication to any space and comes in a variety of colours and finishes that will perfectly complement your furniture.

Planet friendly personalisation

Creating a home that feels truly yours doesn’t mean compromising on sustainability. Many of our kitchen and flooring options are sustainably sourced so you can enjoy a stylish home with a lighter environmental footprint.

Our Turin, Urban and Linear kitchen ranges are made from 92% recycled material, including 70% recycled plastic (rPET). If you choose a kitchen from our range with Wren Kitchens, Wren will plant a tree for every installation.

When it comes to flooring, our parquet range from Amtico is made with Amtico Bio, a material that replaces fossil fuels with more sustainable renewable biomass alternatives. This reduces embodied carbon by between 20-28% and saves more than 90% on CO2 emissions during production.
