Kitchen and Door Styles When buying a bespoke handmade kitchen from Higham Furniture, you can be sure that your design is crafted from the highest quality woods and components. We genuinely make the kitchen cabinets and doors ourselves and so are very flexible and if you have specific requirements in mind then let us know. However, we have a few standards that provide a good starting point for any kitchen design.
We make kitchens with Framed or plant-on doors. Both styles are at home in contemporary and classic settings and it is really up to your own preference as to which style you prefer. Framed
Plant-on
All our doors are created with solid hardwood stiles and rails but the style and materials are up to you. Our most popular styles are variants of the shaker door where the centre panel is surrounded by four equally sized rails:
Our drawers use quality Blum fully extending, soft and slow closing drawer runners.
We manufacture our cabinets in our workshop and use rabbet joints as we find they are the strongest and longest lasting. The cabinets have a recess at the back of 65mm for services such as pipes and electrics although this can be adjusted to meet your requirements. We usually increase this to 100mm for sink units. The plant-on units can have slow door closers fitted to stop door slam. The framed units cannot have these fitted but they do have butt hinges and door catches in brass or stainless steel.
We offer free-standing and fitted kitchens. Free-standing kitchens can be easily installed and moved around to meet your requirements. Fitted kitchens are a more permanent and offer the most space efficient option.
