At Tefore, we recently completed a stunning small kitchen makeover that proves just how much impact a well-designed space can have. While many people assume that the biggest kitchens are the most challenging to get right, smaller spaces often present the trickiest design challenges. Every inch matters, and achieving the perfect balance between storage, functionality, and style requires careful planning and bespoke solutions.
For this project, we replaced a dated wooden kitchen with a fully bespoke, high-gloss white handleless design, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic that instantly brightened the room. Every cabinet, drawer, and worktop was made to measure, ensuring a flawless fit and maximum use of the space. The result is a kitchen that feels open, uncluttered, and incredibly practical, despite its compact size.
Smart design was key to the transformation. By carefully considering workflow, storage needs, and daily use, we were able to create a kitchen that works as hard as it looks. Clever storage solutions, fully integrated appliances, and thoughtful layout choices mean that even in a smaller footprint, nothing has been compromised.
This project highlights the value of bespoke craftsmanship in small kitchens. Off-the-shelf solutions often fail to make the most of every corner, but a tailored design allows us to maximize storage, optimise functionality, and create a space that truly reflects the client’s lifestyle. It’s a reminder that sometimes the smallest kitchens require the biggest design thinking, and when done right, the results are both stunning and highly practical.
From Concept to Completion
Our team managed every aspect of the installation, ensuring a seamless process for the client. This included removing an internal wall to open up the space, plastering, electrical work, and laying new flooring. By project-managing everything from start to finish, we provided a stress-free experience for the homeowner, with our highly skilled installers bringing the vision to life.
One of the standout features of this kitchen is the use of our bespoke, made-to-measure furniture. This approach allowed us to maximize storage in the compact layout, providing a clutter-free and highly functional space tailored to the client’s needs.
Sleek, Light-Enhancing Finishes
The design highlights the beauty of modern simplicity. The client chose high-gloss white Jayline handleless doors for a clean, minimalist aesthetic. These reflective surfaces draw more light into the room, making the space feel larger and brighter.
To complement the cabinetry, we installed 20mm laminated square edge Spectra worktops, known for their durability and understated elegance. Muted green tiles from Topps Tiles were selected for the backsplash, adding a subtle yet stylish pop of colour that enhances the overall palette.

Thoughtful Details and Smart Choices
Every element of this kitchen was carefully chosen with functionality and design in mind:
- Neff Hide-and-Slide Oven: Ideal for saving space and adding convenience to tight spaces.
- Smeg 4-Ring Induction Hob: A sleek and efficient cooking solution.
- Built-in Microwave Unit: The main thing for our client was to be able to keep the countertops as clear as possible, placing this in a wall unit is perfect for tighter spaces.
- Karndean Flooring: Installed at a 45-degree angle in Honed Oyster Slate, it adds visual interest and durability.
- Spray Tap with Filtered Water: A practical and stylish feature for everyday convenience.
