Shaker Porcelain Kitchen in Heage, Derbyshire

Duffield Kitchens – Transforming Period Homes with Timeless Bespoke Fitted Kitchens in Derby and Nottingham

At Duffield Kitchens, we specialise in designing and installing bespoke fitted kitchens in Derby and Nottingham that honour the character of period properties while introducing modern functionality. Our latest project showcases a charming kitchen transformation where classic style meets contemporary convenience.

A Kitchen Designed for Character and Comfort

Nestled within a traditional home with exposed ceiling beams and rustic architectural features, this kitchen embraces its heritage. The timeless shaker-style cabinetry in a crisp white finish brightens the space, beautifully contrasting with the warm wood accents around doors and windows.

The combination of neutral tile flooring and classic blue-and-white patterned splashback tiles creates a striking focal point behind the cooker area while preserving a sense of authenticity.

Bright and Airy Dining Space

Leading off the main kitchen, the adjoining dining area is flooded with natural light from expansive windows and glazed doors. This space creates an inviting atmosphere perfect for family meals and relaxed entertaining. The natural wood dining table and mix of chairs add a touch of rustic charm while remaining cohesive with the clean, bright palette.

Open shelving and carefully placed plants and books help the kitchen feel welcoming and lived-in.

Crafted for Practical Living

While this kitchen exudes character, it’s designed to meet modern-day needs. The generous run of worktops provides plenty of space for food preparation. Integrated appliances, including a built-in double oven, keep the layout streamlined.

Smart storage solutions are incorporated throughout, from deep drawers to tall larder cupboards, ensuring every utensil and ingredient has its place.

Elegant Details and Finishing Touches

Every element was considered to complement the home’s original features. Exposed beams overhead add a dramatic visual element, while traditional-style knobs and handles on the cabinetry provide a heritage feel. The fresh white tiles above the sink reflect natural light, making the space feel even more open.

Subtle modern touches, such as integrated lighting and under-cabinet storage, blend seamlessly into this timeless design.
