Cosy up with a compact kitchen

Looking up

If your space is short on square footage, our designers will explore all the possible options to maximise your space, and that includes looking upwards to see how we can make use of the height in your room. From stacked appliances and floor to ceiling units to gorgeous display shelving and hidden storage, we will make the most of your space without compromising on style or functionality. You will be presented with at least three or four design options all optimising the space you have available.

Being clever with your colours

Small spaces can feel much smaller with a dark or busy colour palette. However, that’s not to say that white is the only option.

Whilst for us, kitchens extend far beyond aesthetics, it is key for our designers to consider all avenues to create you the perfect kitchen. Lighter colours will help to brighten the space and keep it looking fresh and open. Our designers will create a stunning look for your new kitchen and will incorporate stylish touches that ensure your taste and personality is reflected.

Utilising natural light

The key with a small space is to make the most of natural light, whether that be through floor-to-ceiling windows, sky lights and open planning.

If natural lighting is also limited, fear not! Our team will also utilise our range of expertly crafted lighting solutions , including:

• Under cabinet lighting
• LED tape on unit bases
• Vertical LED strips
• Lighted shelf units

Integrating your appliances 

A great way to maximise your space is to ensure appliances are integrated where possible to free up worktop space and avoid any loss of space due to poor fit. All our cabinetry is rigid built and custom made for your kitchen. This means that all spaces can be designed with your appliances in mind. At Prestons, we work with you to determine what is required from your kitchen and appliances are no different. We work with only the best suppliers, including Quooker, Neff and Bosch, to ensure every inch of your kitchen is working hard to make your life easier. From built in microwaves to Slide N Hide ovens, we’ve got you covered.

At Prestons, we won’t ask you to design your kitchen. We will chat to you to determine exactly what role a kitchen plays for you and then handover to our talented designers to create a range of solutions for your home. It’s our job to create your dream kitchen, you just need to enjoy the Prestons experience. And we are not in the business of selling you a dream you cannot afford. If you are considering buying a kitchen from Wren, Howdens, Wickes or B&Q, you should be considering Prestons too.
