From Vision to Reality: A Luxurious True Handleless Kitchen & Bespoke Interiors by Tefore

At Tefore, we take pride in delivering seamless, high-end kitchen transformations, and our latest project is a perfect example. This stunning renovation was more than just a kitchen installation—it was a full-scale home upgrade, carefully designed and expertly project-managed from start to finish.

A Complete Transformation

Our clients wanted a contemporary, open-plan space that combined style, functionality, and a seamless flow between the kitchen and living areas. To achieve this, we managed the removal of an internal wall and installed sleek bifold doors, flooding the space with natural light and creating a beautiful connection to the outdoors. The transformation was completed with elegant tiled flooring, offering durability and a premium finish.

A True Handleless Kitchen with Statement Features

For their dream kitchen, our clients chose a true handleless design, featuring a striking gold rail paired with graphite smooth doors. To add warmth and texture, we incorporated Halifax Platinum Oak feature panels, creating a sophisticated contrast and enhancing the overall aesthetic. The worktops were finished in white shimmer quartz, providing a luxurious yet practical surface for everyday use.

Maximising Storage & Style

This kitchen wasn’t just about looks—it was designed for efficiency. Aventos lift-up systems were installed to maximise storage and create an effortlessly sleek, clutter-free space. A hidden utility room was also incorporated, ensuring practicality without compromising on style.

Bespoke Media Wall & Matching Interiors

To truly bring the space together, we designed and crafted made-to-measure media wall units, seamlessly integrating them into the home’s aesthetic. A bespoke coffee table, finished in matching materials, added the perfect finishing touch—creating a cohesive and luxurious living area that flows effortlessly from the kitchen.

Premium Appliances & Finishing Touches

A high-end kitchen deserves top-tier appliances, and this project featured the best. We installed Smeg appliances, a Franke sink, and a state-of-the-art Quooker tap for instant boiling water—combining style with everyday convenience.

The Tefore Difference: From Concept to Completion

At Tefore, we handle every stage of the process, from initial design consultation to removal, supply, and full installation. Whether it’s structural work, custom furniture, or premium kitchen fittings, we take care of everything—ensuring a stress-free experience and a flawless finish.

A Dreamy Bespoke Kitchen by Tefore

At Tefore, we believe every kitchen should be as unique as the home it resides in. Our latest project is a stunning example of bespoke craftsmanship combined with thoughtful design. This installation showcases the best of what we offer—style, functionality, and premium quality.

A Bespoke Kitchen Like No Other

This dreamy kitchen features painted shaker doors in the Rydal style, finished in a fresh porcelain hue. The sleek, colour-matched luxury carcasses provide a seamless look, while soft-close hinges add a touch of everyday convenience.

To complement the timeless shaker style, our customer selected butcher block laminate worktops in the Light Porterhouse Oak finish by Kronospan. This warm, textured surface adds a cozy yet sophisticated feel to the space. The flooring is equally impressive: Karndean in Croftmore Oak creates a durable, easy-to-maintain foundation with a natural wood effect, tying the entire design together beautifully!

State-of-the-Art Appliances

No kitchen is complete without the right appliances. This project included a Samsung Flex Hob, offering precise cooking flexibility, and a Siemens integrated dishwasher, combining performance and efficiency. The finishing touch was a Franke 1.5 bowl composite sink in a luxurious coffee finish—a feature that’s both practical and stylish.

Why Choose a Composite Sink?

Composite sinks are a top choice for modern kitchens, and here’s why:

Stylish Finish: Available in a range of colors, they add a chic, contemporary feel to any kitchen.

Durability: Made from a blend of materials like quartz and resin, composite sinks are resistant to scratches, stains, and heat.

Low Maintenance: They’re easy to clean and maintain their appearance for years.

Why Choose an Independent Kitchen Company Like Tefore?

When it comes to designing your dream kitchen, working with an independent kitchen company offers advantages you won’t find with mainstream brands:

Tailored Designs: We create bespoke solutions to suit your style and space, rather than offering one-size-fits-all options.
Premium Quality: From luxury carcasses to hand-selected materials, we prioritize quality over mass production.
Personalized Service: At Tefore, you work directly with experts who take the time to understand your needs and guide you through every step of the process.
Support Local: Choosing an independent company means supporting local businesses and enjoying a more personalized experience.

Let Tefore Transform Your Kitchen

This recent installation is a testament to the care and attention we bring to every project. From the bespoke painted shaker doors to the state-of-the-art appliances and carefully chosen finishes, Tefore delivers kitchens that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Transforming a Small Impractical Kitchen into a Modern Masterpiece

At Tefore, we recently completed a stunning kitchen makeover that showcases how smart design and skilled craftsmanship can maximize storage and style in a compact space. This project was a complete transformation, replacing a dated wooden kitchen with a sleek, high-gloss white handleless design that breathes new life into the home.

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 chosen with functionality and design in mind:

Neff Hide-and-Slide Oven: Ideal for saving space and adding convenience.
Smeg 4-Ring Induction Hob: A sleek and efficient cooking solution.
Built-in Microwave Unit: Keeps the countertops clear, 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.

This project demonstrates how Tefore’s attention to detail, premium products, and skilled project management can transform any kitchen, no matter the size. If you would like to learn more on how Tefore can transform your awkward spaces please fill out the form below!

We take your ideas and preferences, from cabinet styles to worktops and color schemes, and transform them into a realistic 3D model of your future kitchen.

One of our standout designers, who studied art and design in college, brings a distinct flair to every project. With a trained eye for color, texture, and composition, they’re skilled at helping clients navigate the endless possibilities when it comes to pairing finishes.

Transforming a Home with a Green Shaker Kitchen: Open-Concept Benefits and Style

When it comes to designing a dream kitchen, a well-thought-out layout, color scheme, and work surface make all the difference. In our recent kitchen project, we transformed a closed-off space by removing a wall, creating a seamless open-concept kitchen. This stunning green shaker kitchen, complemented by butcher block laminate worktops, has brought both style and functionality to the home.

Breaking Down Walls: The Benefits of an Open Kitchen Space

One of the most impactful changes in this kitchen makeover was the removal of a wall to create an open-plan kitchen. Not only does an open kitchen layout enhance the flow of natural light, but it also creates a more welcoming, spacious atmosphere—perfect for family gatherings, socializing, and multitasking.

Benefits of an Open Kitchen Space:

Increased Natural Light: By removing a wall, we allowed natural light to flow freely, creating a brighter, more inviting kitchen.
Better Flow and Movement: An open-concept kitchen makes it easier to move between cooking, dining, and living spaces, ideal for both everyday activities and hosting guests.
Enhanced Connectivity: With a connected kitchen, families can interact across spaces, making it easier to stay connected during meal prep, dining, and relaxing.

Keyword Focus: open-concept kitchen benefits, modern kitchen design ideas, open-plan kitchen

A Touch of Style: The Green Shaker Kitchen

For this project, we chose a beautiful green shaker-style design. Green kitchens have become increasingly popular for their unique aesthetic and versatility, and this particular shade adds a warm, welcoming feel to the space.

Why Choose a Green Kitchen?:

Timeless Appeal: Green, especially in a classic shaker style, has a timeless quality that works with a variety of decor styles, from rustic to contemporary.
Mood-Boosting: Green is known for its calming, refreshing qualities, making it a great choice for a space as central as the kitchen.
Easy to Pair: This color pairs beautifully with neutral tones, wood finishes, and metallic accents, adding depth and dimension to the overall design.

Keyword Focus: green kitchen cabinets, shaker kitchen design, trendy kitchen colors

Functional and Stylish: Butcher Block Laminate Worktops

We paired the green cabinets with butcher block laminate worktops, offering the look of classic wood with enhanced durability and ease of maintenance.

Advantages of Butcher Block Laminate:

Cost-Effective: Laminate worktops provide the look of butcher block at a fraction of the cost of solid wood.
Durability: Unlike natural wood, laminate is resistant to moisture, making it a practical choice for busy kitchens.
Versatile Aesthetic: The warm, natural look of butcher block pairs beautifully with various kitchen styles, enhancing the overall warmth and appeal of the space.

"Having used Tefore before in our previous property- they were the only company we would consider using when we needed a kitchen refit in our new house. From start to finish the process was as we expected and up to their usual high standards. Paul and Shannon gave excellent advise when it came to choosing the doors, work surfaces and colour scheme and the fitting team of Tom and Chris were superb in installing the kitchen and ensuring each day they left it clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble and little touches/ extras that we asked for during installation that were not on original request were done. We shall certainly use Tefore in the future and would highly recommend them Thanks Paul"
