Combining the elegance of a solid wood shaker design with the practicality of a standard-fit kitchen, Belgravia gives you the inframe look – without the drawbacks.

We recently had the pleasure of completing a stunning fitted kitchen project in Redditch for a client who loved their existing layout but felt the space was ready for a fresh new look. The goal was clear: retain the functionality while upgrading the style, storage, and flow of the room to give a more open feel.
Our customer approached us knowing that the overall layout of their kitchen already worked well for them — all they needed was a refresh with new cabinetry, doors, and worktops. To help open up the space and give the kitchen a more modern feel, we suggested switching out the overhead extractor fan for a built-in hob extractor. This simple change made a big difference, giving the room a more open and streamlined appearance.
Our client opted for the Series 4 vented hob, which we supplied, offering both style and practicality in one neat solution.
To elevate the worktops, they selected Spectra Cotswold Oak square-edge surfaces, including a made-to-measure special order for an extra-deep worktop — a perfect fit for both aesthetic appeal and everyday functionality.
When it came to doors, our client chose the Helmsley style — a hugely popular option this year thanks to its classic inframe shaker look without the limitations of traditional inframe construction. It brings timeless charm with modern practicality.
The final palette included Oakgrain Mussel doors and Lancaster Oak carcasses, all built with glue and dowel construction and strong ABS edging for added durability and long-term quality.
Before & After Transformation See the difference a refresh can make!
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It…
We’re always proud of the work we do, but nothing beats hearing directly from our happy customers. Here’s what our Redditch client had to say about their experience with Tefore:
“I would highly recommend using Tefore for any kitchen project. From choosing our kitchen to the actual fitting of it Paul was brilliant, always on the end of the phone to deal with any issues or worries we had which were always resolved. The whole team of workmen were excellent, very professional and friendly. I would definitely go back to Tefore for any bathroom or bedroom project in the future.
We are delighted!”

When our client first contacted Tefore, they were looking to modernise their kitchen and make better use of space, especially at the entrance, where poor layout had long been a frustration. Their goal? A beautiful, practical kitchen that felt open, welcoming, and stylish—without compromising on quality.
From Frustration to Functionality
At their initial design consultation, our designer Paul listened carefully to their concerns and came up with a smart solution to make the most of their kitchen layout. Together, we explored different options, revising the design until our client felt completely happy. That’s what we’re all about at Tefore—working with you, not just for you.
Elegant Finishes and Efficient Appliances
To bring their vision to life, our client selected a Hemsley door in Matt Sage Green—a popular style with a beautiful beading groove that offers the timeless look of an in-frame kitchen, without the high-maintenance drawbacks. The matching Sage Green carcasses added a seamless, luxury feel throughout the space, avoiding the mismatched look often found with standard off-the-shelf units.
Topping the cabinetry, they chose Spectra worktops in Snow Spark, a stunning laminate surface that reflects natural light and helps brighten the entire room.
The kitchen was completed with a range of high-quality, reliable appliances:
Grohe Ambi chrome tap for a sleek, functional finish
Samsung S4 & S5 ovens for modern cooking convenience
Samsung integrated dishwasher
60cm gas hob with cast iron pan supports
Samsung heat pump tumble dryer (part of a February promotion!)
60cm stainless steel chimney hood
Finishing Touches That Make a Difference
To complete the project, our clients chose Karndean flooring, which perfectly complements the rest of the space with its durability, warmth, and stylish finish.
Customer Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Thank you very much for all your help in designing this project. We are both delighted with our new kitchen. Your team worked very hard—especially Chris and Adrian, who were so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and a special thank you to Shannon for all her help.”
We’re thrilled that our clients love their new kitchen—and proud to have helped transform the space into something they can enjoy every day.

A returning client’s vision brought to life with handcrafted details, premium finishes, and a touch of pink perfection.
At Tefore, every kitchen we design, supply, and install is special—but this one holds a little extra meaning. Not only is it a stunning celebration of bespoke design, it was also created for a returning customer whose bedroom we transformed just a year earlier. Delighted with the quality, service, and attention to detail we provided, they came back to us when it was time to renovate their kitchen—and we’re so glad they did.
This bespoke solid wood kitchen has been custom painted in the exquisite shade Rose—a soft, romantic pink that creates a warm and inviting space. Every unit has been made to measure, ensuring a flawless fit that enhances the layout and maximises storage. The beauty of painted kitchens is that they offer endless possibilities. You’re not limited to standard shades—any colour your heart desires can be brought to life, making your kitchen truly one of a kind.
Sparkling Quartz Worktops
To complement the bespoke cabinetry, we paired the design with white mirror chip quartz worktops. These stunning surfaces include reflective elements that catch the light throughout the day, making the whole kitchen feel bright and full of life. It’s a subtle sparkle that elevates the elegance of the space without overpowering the colour palette.
Bespoke Features and High-End Finishes
The kitchen also features a bespoke glass splashback, delicately printed with soft pink florals to tie in beautifully with the cabinetry. This one-of-a-kind touch adds both personality and practicality, protecting the wall behind the hob while enhancing the kitchen’s overall charm.
Appliances were chosen for both style and performance. The customer opted for:
Samsung hob and oven
Bosch dishwasher and fridge
Abode ceramic sink
Franke Vital filter tap
Together, these choices blend seamlessly into the design while delivering the modern functionality every kitchen needs.
Finishing Touches That Make a Difference
The floor is finished in Karndean, a durable, luxury vinyl that brings warmth and texture underfoot. Soft under-cabinet lighting adds a cosy glow and accentuates the gentle pink tones of the cabinetry.
This kitchen is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and bespoke craftsmanship can come together to create something magical. We loved working with this customer once again—it’s always an honour when someone chooses us a second time. Thank you for trusting us with your vision!

We were delighted to welcome back one of our returning customers for a very special project in their beautiful new home. After designing a kitchen for their previous property, it was a no-brainer for them to return to Tefore to help transform their next space—this time with a bespoke fitted kitchen, custom library, and made-to-measure bootroom.
We’ll let the customer share their experience at the end of this post, but first, here’s a look at the spaces we helped bring to life.
When it comes to fitted kitchens, this one is a true showstopper. Our customer chose our ever-popular Richmond door, finished in the on-trend shade of Matt Sage Green with Lancaster Oak surrounds—a combination that offers a timeless look with a modern twist.
The heart of the space is a huge central island, topped with a stunning solid wood worktop, perfect for prepping, entertaining, or simply enjoying a coffee. The kitchen is fully equipped with premium Samsung appliances and a Franke sink and tap, blending functionality with style.
One standout feature is the bespoke open dresser unit, inspired by an image the customer found on Pinterest. We worked closely with them to recreate the look, completely tailored to their space. The result? A unique, handcrafted focal point that adds personality and charm.
At Tefore, we believe your kitchen should reflect you. Don’t accept limitations—with a bespoke kitchen, the possibilities are endless. Everything is made to measure, allowing you to create a space that’s not only beautiful but practical for your lifestyle
A Library That Feels Like Fine Furniture
Next, we created a bespoke library in our Pembridge door style, finished in Indigo with Sonoma Oak carcasses and surrounds. This rich colour combination creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxing with a good book.
Because the unit was custom-built, we made the most of every inch of space, incorporating smart storage while keeping the look clean and elegant. Our brief was to design something that felt like a standalone piece of handcrafted carpentry—and that’s exactly what we achieved.
The result is a functional yet sophisticated feature that our client uses daily, and they’re absolutely thrilled with how it turned out.
The Practical Luxury of a Bootroom
Bootrooms are becoming increasingly popular as multi-use spaces—and for good reason. In this home, we designed a bespoke bootroom that offers everything from coat and shoe storage to space for laundry and utility essentials.
To complement the kitchen, our client again opted for the Richmond door, this time in Matt Stone Grey. The look was finished off with the same laminated worktops used in the kitchen, creating a sense of continuity throughout the home.
A well-designed bootroom brings order to everyday chaos. It’s a practical yet stylish solution for busy households—and proof that every area of the home can benefit from clever, considered design.
What Our Customer Had to Say
“I wanted to send a reply to say how delighted we are with the new Kitchen, Utility Room and Library. As a repeat customer we have once again thoroughly enjoyed the design process and working with you to get the result we wanted. Your team have again been brilliant throughout the build. Chris and Ade are a credit to themselves and Tefore.
I do not hesitate to recommend you and the Tefore team to anyone I speak to regarding the recent work.
Once again Paul, you and the team have delivered a fantastic end product that has really made the house feel like our home.”

At Tefore, we recently had the pleasure of designing and installing a truly unique kitchen that exemplifies the elegance and functionality of bespoke craftsmanship. This project showcases how made-to-measure furniture can seamlessly adapt to the unique character and shape of a home, maximising every inch of space.
Tailored Design for Unique Spaces
Every home has its quirks, and this kitchen was no exception. With its distinctive layout, standard-sized units would have fallen short. Our bespoke cabinetry was crafted to fit the space perfectly, ensuring a harmonious flow throughout the kitchen. Clever pull-out solutions and hidden storage compartments were integrated, providing ample storage without compromising on aesthetics
Helmsley Doors in Matt Mussel: Classic Meets Contemporary
The client selected the Helmsley door in a Matt Mussel finish—a fresh, neutral tone that brings warmth and sophistication. This one-piece door design offers the timeless appeal of an in-frame shaker kitchen but without the maintenance challenges. Its smooth surface is easy to clean, making it both beautiful and practical. The kitchen is further enhanced with exact colour-matched tongue and groove end panels, adding a touch of traditional charm.
Premium Finishes and Appliances
To complement the cabinetry, the kitchen features CRL Quartz worktops in the Verona finish, known for their durability and subtle elegance. The choice of Smeg Victoria appliances in cream adds a vintage flair, creating a stunning focal point that blends seamlessly with the overall design.
The Centrepiece: Shaws Bowland 600 Sink
A standout feature is the Shaws of Darwen Bowland 600 sink (model SO0600010WH). Handcrafted from durable fireclay, this sink boasts a distinctive fluted front and a generous single bowl, combining functionality with classic design. Its antibacterial properties and resistance to stains and heat make it a practical choice for any kitchen.
Finishing Touches
The kitchen is completed with Karndean flooring, offering the look of natural Stone with the resilience and ease of maintenance that modern homes require. This flooring choice ties the entire space together, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Dreaming of a Kitchen Like This?
Why settle for standard sizes and designs when you can have a kitchen tailored to your home’s unique character? At Tefore, we believe in creating spaces that reflect your personal style and meet your specific needs. Don’t let mainstream options limit your vision—choose bespoke with Tefore.
We’re thrilled to share this stunning kitchen renovation recently completed in Redditch — a perfect example of blending traditional craftsmanship with sleek modern design.
Our client opted for the Harborne door in Reed Green, a striking choice that truly defines this transformation. The Harborne is a solid wood shaker-style door, but what makes it unique is the integrated handle, offering the best of both worlds: the charm of a classic shaker with the streamlined feel of a handleless kitchen.
To make the most of their space, the client chose extra-tall wall units — creating a bold, elegant look while maximising storage. We also added a bespoke shelving unit around the fridge freezer, creating a cohesive, functional space that feels both modern and custom-built.
Finishing Touches That Make It Shine
Here’s a breakdown of the beautiful, high-quality finishes and appliances chosen for this project:
Worktops & Upstands: 38mm Pewter Halifax Oak – a rich, textured surface that adds warmth and contrast to the green cabinetry.
Oven: Samsung NVB42503AK/U4 – a sleek, reliable oven packed with smart features.
Combination Microwave: Samsung NQ5B4353FBK/U4 – for added flexibility and convenience in cooking.
Hob: Samsung Induction Hob – a clean, minimalist look with precise control.
Sink: Franke 1.5 B Rev Fragranite Sink & Drainer in Stone Grey (970 x 500mm, 114) – durable and stylish with a subtle texture that complements the kitchen’s palette.
Tap: A chic Gunmetal tap, tying in perfectly with the overall aesthetic.
Flooring: Karndean flooring – practical, beautiful, and long-lasting, offering a luxurious finish underfoot.
This kitchen is now not only a functional heart of the home but also a calm, contemporary space with character and elegance. A true example of how thoughtful design choices can elevate everyday living.

Design-Led & On-Trend
Reed Green is one of the most sought-after shades in kitchen design right now — and for good reason.

Paired with warm wood textures and modern finishes, it strikes the perfect balance between trend and timelessness.
At Tefore, we take care of every aspect of your kitchen journey — from the initial concept and design consultation right through to the final installation.

A Word from the Homeowners
We love the mix of textures too — the oak worktops, the stone grey sink, and the gunmetal tap all work together so well. It just feels like us now. We honestly couldn’t be happier with the result — it’s everything we hoped for and more.”
“We knew we wanted something that felt modern but timeless — and the Harborne door in Reed Green gave us exactly that. The built-in handle is such a smart detail, and the extra-tall units have completely transformed how we use the space. Everything has a place now, especially with the custom shelving around the fridge freezer.“
