Looking for some kitchen ideas but tired of just seeing pictures online? Come see real kitchens you can walk through and touch at our kitchen style exhibitions here in Nottingham. We've set up loads of different kitchen styles so you can get a proper feel for what might work in your home.
When you're planning a new kitchen, nothing beats seeing the real thing. That's why we've built full kitchen displays in our showroom. You'll see how different cabinets, worktops and layouts look together. And you can open drawers, feel the materials, and even test the appliances.
Our exhibitions are not just for show. They're meant to help you figure out what you really want. You might find you love something you never thought of before, or realize that what looked good in a magazine doesn't feel right when you're standing in it.
Kitchen Showroom Nottingham
Our Nottingham kitchen showroom is where the magic happens.
"The showroom made all the difference for us. We'd been looking at kitchens online for months, but once we visited and could actually see and touch everything, we made our decision in an hour." - Jane & Mark, West Bridgford
When you visit our showroom, you're not just seeing kitchen displays - you're getting access to our 15 years of experience fitting kitchens in Nottingham homes. We know what works in the Victorian terraces in The Park, the 1930s semis in Beeston, and the modern apartments near the city centre.
We've got kitchen displays set up to reflect real Nottingham homes. We know that most kitchens in this area aren't massive open-plan spaces like you see in magazines, so we've created realistic displays that show how to make the most of typical Nottingham kitchen dimensions.
Contemporary Kitchen Displays
Our contemporary kitchen displays feature clean lines, handleless cabinets, and minimalist designs that feel really modern. These kitchens use materials like matt finishes, glass, and metals to create a sleek look.
We've noticed that contemporary kitchens are super popular with people living in newer Nottingham developments and city centre apartments. They work brilliantly in open-plan living spaces and smaller urban properties where maximising space is important.
In our showroom, you can see clever contemporary features like:
- Hidden storage solutions that keep worktops clutter-free
- Integrated appliances that blend seamlessly with cabinets
- LED lighting systems that change the mood of the space
- Smart technology that makes cooking and cleaning easier
One of our favourite displays is a compact contemporary kitchen designed specifically with Nottingham city centre apartments in mind. It shows how clever design can make even the smallest kitchen feel spacious and functional.
Traditional Kitchen Exhibitions
Our traditional kitchen displays capture the warmth and character of classic kitchens that stand the test of time. These kitchens feature raised panel doors, decorative mouldings, and warm wood tones that create a cozy, homely feel.
"We were torn between modern and traditional, but seeing the traditional display in person won us over. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was something you just can't appreciate in photos." - Robert & Susan, Arnold
These displays are perfect if you live in one of Nottingham's period properties. We've designed them to complement the architectural features found in Victorian and Edwardian houses throughout The Park, Mapperley Park, and other conservation areas.
In our traditional kitchen displays, you'll find:
- Solid wood cabinetry with hand-painted finishes
- Belfast sinks and bridge taps that add character
- Decorative cornices and plinths that add elegant details
- Classic range cookers that become a focal point
We've recreated a kitchen similar to one we installed in a Victorian property near Nottingham Castle, showing how traditional design can respect the home's heritage while providing all the conveniences of modern living.
Transitional Style Showcases
Not sure if you want traditional or contemporary? Our transitional kitchen displays might be perfect for you. These kitchens blend elements from both styles to create spaces that feel fresh but not too trendy.
Transitional kitchens are proving really popular with Nottingham homeowners who want a kitchen that won't look dated in a few years. They work in almost any property, from period homes in Beeston to new builds in West Bridgford.
In our transitional displays, you'll notice:
- Shaker-style cabinets in contemporary colours
- Quartz worktops with subtle patterns
- Mixed metals and materials that add depth
- Classic layouts with modern functionality
One of our most popular transitional displays was inspired by a kitchen we fitted for a family in Wollaton. They wanted something that would work with their 1930s semi but didn't feel old-fashioned. The result was a beautiful space that balances tradition and modernity.
Industrial and Urban Designs
For something with a bit more edge, check out our industrial and urban kitchen displays. These kitchens embrace raw materials, exposed elements, and a functional aesthetic that makes a bold statement.
These designs have been really popular with people converting old warehouses and lofts in the Lace Market area of Nottingham. They also work brilliantly in new builds where there's a desire to add character and uniqueness.
Our industrial displays feature:
- Concrete worktops and flooring
- Exposed brick walls or realistic brick-effect tiles
- Open shelving in metal and reclaimed wood
- Statement lighting with an industrial feel
- Stainless steel elements that add a professional touch
We recreated a kitchen we installed in a converted factory in Sneinton, showing how industrial elements can be balanced with warmth to create a liveable, practical space that still has plenty of wow factor.
Country and Rustic Exhibitions
If you dream of a kitchen that feels like the heart of the home, our country and rustic displays will make you feel right at home. These kitchens focus on natural materials, farmhouse features, and a relaxed, unfussy style.
These displays are particularly popular with clients from villages around Nottinghamshire like Ruddington, Calverton, and Southwell, where rural charm and character are important.
Our country kitchen displays include:
- Freestanding furniture pieces that add character
- Farmhouse sinks and traditional taps
- Aga cookers and range appliances
- Natural wood worktops that age beautifully
- Warm colour palettes that create a cozy atmosphere
"We wanted our new kitchen to feel like it had always been part of our cottage. The country kitchen display gave us so many ideas that we've incorporated into our home." - The Smiths, Ruddington
We've based one of our displays on a kitchen we installed in a 200-year-old cottage in Woodborough, showing how modern amenities can be incorporated into a rustic setting without losing any of the charm.
Designer Collaborations
We've partnered with some amazing kitchen designers to bring exclusive collections to Nottingham. These designer collaborations offer something a bit different from the standard ranges you'll find elsewhere.
Through our partnerships we're able to showcase designs from across Europe, bringing international style to Nottingham homes. These designer kitchens feature innovative materials, unique finishes, and cutting-edge technologies.
Currently in our showroom, you can see:
- A limited edition display from a leading German manufacturer
- Exclusive door finishes not available anywhere else in Nottingham
- Innovative storage solutions from Italian designers
- Statement pieces that make a kitchen truly unique
These designer collaborations are perfect if you're looking for something that stands out from the crowd. We've helped clients in areas like The Park and West Bridgford create truly unique spaces using these exclusive designs.
Seasonal Style Updates
We regularly update our kitchen exhibitions to showcase the latest trends and innovations. Every season, we refresh at least one display to keep our showroom feeling fresh and inspiring.
This spring, we've updated our contemporary display to showcase the new matt finishes that are proving so popular with Nottingham homeowners. We've also added some new colour options to our transitional display, reflecting the move towards warmer, more natural tones.
Coming to visit our showroom several times throughout your kitchen journey can be really helpful. You might see new ideas each time, and it gives you a chance to think about what you've seen before making any big decisions.
We announce our new displays on our social media pages and through our email newsletter, so you can be the first to see what's new in kitchen design for Nottingham homes.
What kitchen styles are currently popular in Nottingham?
Right now, we're seeing lots of Nottingham homeowners choosing transitional and contemporary kitchens. The transitional style is particularly popular because it works in so many different property types, from Victorian terraces to new builds.
For period properties in areas like The Park and Mapperley, traditional kitchens with modern conveniences are still a favourite choice. Many homeowners want to respect the character of their homes while having all the functionality of a modern kitchen.
In the city centre apartments and loft conversions, minimalist contemporary and industrial styles are leading the way. These sleek, space-efficient designs make the most of urban living spaces.
How often do kitchen showrooms update their exhibitions?
We try to update at least one of our displays every three to four months. This keeps our showroom fresh and allows us to showcase the latest trends and innovations.
Major updates usually happen twice a year, with smaller changes and tweaks happening more regularly. We often make seasonal adjustments, like changing accessories or colour schemes, to keep things interesting for repeat visitors.
If you're planning a kitchen project that won't start for a few months, it's worth checking back closer to your start date to see what's new. Kitchen design evolves constantly, and you might find something you love even more.
What's the difference between traditional and contemporary kitchen styles?
Traditional kitchens typically feature more ornate detailing, raised panel doors, decorative mouldings, and classic design elements. They often use natural materials like wood and have a warm, timeless feel. These kitchens suit period properties and homes where a classic, established look is desired.
Contemporary kitchens, on the other hand, feature clean lines, flat-panel doors, minimal detailing, and often incorporate materials like glass, metal, and engineered surfaces. They tend to have a sleek, uncluttered appearance with emphasis on simple, functional design. These kitchens work well in modern homes and urban spaces.
The best way to understand the difference is to visit our showroom and experience both styles in person. Many people find they're drawn to elements of both, which is why transitional kitchens that blend these styles have become so popular in Nottingham.
How do I know which kitchen style will suit my home?
Choosing the right kitchen style involves considering several factors:
- The architectural style of your home - period properties often suit traditional or transitional kitchens, while modern homes can embrace contemporary designs
- Your personal taste and lifestyle - do you prefer classic elegance or modern minimalism?
- How long you plan to stay in your home - more timeless styles may be better for long-term homes
- The size and shape of your kitchen space - some styles work better in different layouts
Visiting our kitchen style exhibitions is the best way to get a feel for what will work in your home. Bring photos of your current space and any architectural features you want to complement.
"We brought photos of our 1930s semi in Beeston to the showroom. Michael helped us pick a transitional style that respected the period of the house but gave us the modern functionality we wanted." - David & Emma, Beeston
Can different kitchen styles be mixed succesfully?
Absolutely! In fact, some of our most successful kitchen projects in Nottingham homes have combined elements from different styles. This is essentially what creates a transitional kitchen - taking the best bits from traditional and contemporary designs.
The key to mixing styles successfully is to have a coherent overall vision. You need to think about how different elements will work together and create a harmonious whole. It's not about randomly throwing together different features, but thoughtfully combining elements that complement each other.
In our showroom, we have displays that demonstrate how different styles can be mixed effectively. For example, we have a kitchen that combines traditional Shaker cabinets with contemporary handleless wall units, showing how these different elements can work together beautifully.
What kitchen styles add the most value to a property?
Based on our experience renovating over 800 kitchens in the Nottingham area, we've found that transitional kitchens tend to add the most value to properties. This is because they appeal to the widest range of potential buyers, combining classic elements that don't date quickly with modern functionality.
For higher-end properties in areas like The Park or West Bridgford, a well-executed traditional kitchen with high-quality materials can significantly increase value. These kitchens often become a major selling point.
Contemporary kitchens can add substantial value to modern apartments and new builds, especially when they incorporate smart technology and energy-efficient appliances. These features are increasingly desirable to buyers.
The most important factor, regardless of style, is quality. A well-designed, properly installed kitchen using durable materials will always add more value than a poorly executed one, regardless of the style.
