A Modern Classic Bespoke Kitchen in Sandling

This beautiful bespoke kitchen in Sandling, near Hythe, exemplifies the depth of craftsmanship and design refinement that defines Collins Bespoke. The brief was to create a kitchen that combines character and practicality — a timeless space designed for everyday modern family living that also celebrates the warmth of natural materials and handcrafted detail.

The design pairs classic in-frame cabinetry with a hand-painted soft green finish, introducing subtle colour without overpowering the room’s light and flow. A walnut breakfast bar adds texture and warmth to the island’s white quartz worktop, bringing a tactile contrast that invites both use and visual interest. Stainless steel integrated appliances and hardware add a contemporary edge, ensuring a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

Behind the main kitchen, a walk-in pantry offers exceptional storage and utility, featuring open shelving, tongue-and-groove panelling, and an integrated ladder system — all custom-made to its bespoke design. Every element, from the personalised drawer organisation to the hidden storage solutions, was tailored to suit the rhythm of daily life while maintaining a seamless aesthetic.

This project showcases Collins Bespoke’s ability to blend traditional joinery principles with modern precision engineering — delivering spaces that are both practical and beautifully resolved. For architects, designers and developers, it highlights how bespoke craftsmanship can enhance both the architectural integrity and functionality of a home.
