In-Frame kitchen in Porthcawl

Mr and Mrs Collinson set us a genuine challenge. Take their dark, heavy oak and granite kitchen and turn it into something light, spacious and full of storage. It's the kind of brief an in-frame kitchen answers perfectly. Our handmade, solid-timber cabinetry with its characteristic recessed door and visible frame gives a room real depth with obvious craftsmanship. We create this without ever feeling dark or heavy by finishing the surfaces in the right palette.

This wasn't a kitchen project in isolation, it was a full ground floor refurbishment, with Your Space Living managing every detail throughout. That thorough approach paid off in an unexpected way: while working on the room's beautiful bay window, we discovered the wall cavity was missing essential insulation, the real cause behind draughts the Collinsons had been living with for years. It was corrected properly before the seating area went in, solving a problem the couple hadn't realised a kitchen renovation could fix.

The centrepiece is a bespoke granite-topped table, designed from scratch and hand-built by one of the UK's finest cabinet makers under Jo Buckerfield's guidance. This is true in-frame craftsmanship in its purest form. For anyone considering an in-frame kitchen, this project shows exactly why the style rewards a design-led approach: genuine joinery, expertly finished, built to last for decades.
