We’re thrilled to share this stunning before and after 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.

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.
