Classique Kitchens

Welcome to Classique Kitchens, a leading supplier of German kitchens for Carlisle, Cumbria, the Lake District and the south of Scotland. Catering for budgets ranging from 3,000 up to circa 45,000, we offer bespoke kitchen designs from renowned German brands Stormer and Schuller, as well as our own deluxe brand, Unity. At Classique Kitchens we understand how personal each kitchen is and we design with this in mind, knowing the right questions to ask and adopting a flexible approach as we cultivate the perfect design.

Classique Kitchens was formed in 2012, the brainchild of Paul Douglass (Director) who together with his wife and father (also a Director) have 25+ years of experience in building modern houses. With this experience comes the benefit of a sound technical knowledge, ensuring this family team know exactly what will and won't work when it comes to designing kitchens, and can advise clients accordingly. Book an appointment with Classique Kitchens and you will meet with either Paul or Kelly to create your bespoke design.

Working with some of the most innovative partners in the interior design industry and being passionate about fresh, elegant modernity ourselves, we are well placed to design your kitchen featuring the very latest in modern kitchen design. Kitchen design evolves far faster than most people realise, but modern should not mean fashionable- after all today's fashions can be tomorrow's hand-me-downs. Our latest wood finishes, both as real woods or as wood look finishes need to be seen and touched for you to really appreciate the quality and exuberance of their texture.

Come to Classique Kitchens for your new kitchen design and you will benefit from our team's 25+ years of experience in designing and building. Clients benefit from our technical knowledge and we will always strive for something different to what you would get elsewhere! Our expert design service is free of charge and can be carried out by appointment in our showroom, or else we can visit you at home. Our kitchen design and installation service covers most of Cumbria, Carlisle, the Lake District and even the south of Scotland.

Book an appointment or simply call in, and over a cup of coffee we can discuss your wants, needs and ideas for you brand new kitchen design. We will gladly guide you through our inspiring showroom displays, all of which have been thoughtfully designed to ensure finishes that work as well within client's homes as within our showroom. Our 3 German brands Schuller, Stormer and Unity are all on display, including 200+ door samples.

Lighting is an essential part of modern kitchen design and can make a dramatic difference to your kitchen's look and feel. A light and bright kitchen makes the difference between an enjoyable kitchen experience of cooking and eating, versus the frustrating impracticality of a poorly lit kitchen. The right lighting options will accentuate the quality, colour, and style of your chosen door finish. It will show it at its best and ensure darker furniture tones won't engulf a space. We specialise in guiding you through the different types of lighting systems available and will work with you to ensure the most suitable kitchen lighting is specified.

Available in a wide range of tones, textures and grains, wood kitchen finishes make an excellent choice for the home. Meeting current demand for modern wood kitchen accents, Classique Kitchens have an extensive range of wood kitchen finishes to suit all different spaces, tastes and budgets. Whether for a country property or contemporary home extension, by itself or in a multi tone arrangement, we know exactly which wood kitchen finishes will produce the look you want to achieve. We understand which grains add character, which colour tones will dominate, and which will create a softer, more understated look.

When choosing appliances we are happy to include appliances based on the client's requirements, but where required we would suggest appropriate equipment based on requirements and total budget. To this end, manufacturers go to great lengths to ensure their designs epitomise the upmost height of modernity, yet still offer compatibility across the range so that an oven, hob, extractor and microwave all coordinate in look, colour and control systems. In recent years appliances and their control systems have become increasingly minimal in look; buttons and switches are smaller and fewer, appliances and their handles are slimmer and more streamlined, and colours are available as an exact match with furniture.

Where space permits, a kitchen island epitomizes a fully luxurious addition to your home. They are great for congregating around with friends and family, and spacious enough to make light work of preparing for, and entertaining guests. Classique Kitchens are frequently asked to design kitchens with islands and as a result have designed and installed kitchen islands in a wide variety of styles and configurations. Classique Kitchens's designers have developed the expertise to advise you on the aesthetics and latest trends, but also on the practicalities of such designs.

With an unrivalled range of handleless kitchen products and depth of experience in designing and installing them, the Classique Kitchens Team feel we can justly call ourselves experts within this field. Catering for budgets ranging from 10,000 to over 50,000, our high quality handleless kitchens are possible within almost every door in our range, and in a wide variety of colours and materials. This includes all of our gloss, matt, stone, ceramic and concrete doors, as well as the majority of our wood doors.
