A Colourful Howdens Kitchen Upgrade in Nottingham
Full of colour, warmth and thoughtful details, this Nottingham kitchen was designed to be a welcoming space for a young family to cook, gather and spend time together.
Starting with standard Howdens cabinets, we created custom fronts, panels and plinths in a playful combination of natural Birch Plywood, soft Formica Blush and rich Formica Marble Green. The mix of materials brings personality to the generous open-plan space, beautifully complemented by the family's terrazzo worktop.
Alongside the kitchen fronts, we made custom wall shelving and a box shelf unit, adding practical storage and lovely design details that help make the kitchen feel completely individual.The result is a colourful, relaxed family kitchen that feels both practical and full of character.
Project spec:
- Howdens base units

- Custom Box Shelf Unit: An open box shelf unit designed to complement the standard kitchen cabinetry, adding useful storage and an extra layer of detail to the space.
- A Lovely Mix of Materials: The terrazzo worktop brings another layer of colour and texture, sitting beautifully alongside the plywood and Formica finishes.
- Made for Family Life: With its generous open-plan layout, this kitchen has plenty of room for everyday cooking, family gatherings and everything in between.
