Our Portfolio
We love sharing our Client reviews with you, especially when a space has tested our skills
➡️ Swipe to see the video of this space. Unbelievably, before there was a range cooker and very little refrigeration.
So we added tall units to maximise storage, add a full size fridge / freezer & house the boiler.
We created as much worksurface space as possible, including a countertop appliance area for our clients cooking gadgets.

Today we are sharing one of our all time favourite installations. The beauty of this kitchen is more than skin deep as it houses so much varied storage.
Designed for a busy family of art collectors, it needed to be easy to use and keep tidy. We hid the ovens behind pocket doors to keep the view from the open plan living space less like a kitchen.
A boiling water tap and hidden microwave keep the surfaces clear and we also hid a slide out coffee area into the corner.
The mix of materials is subtle and neutral, yet warm. Stained Oak veneer meets metallic lacquered fronts, all brought together with a clean, bright work surface.
A stunning result, don’t you think?

Today we are feeling Autumnal and so want to share some more angles of our beautiful #hampstead project, which is warming us up with its Earthy tones 🍂
Our kitchen was designed to sit balanced within the original architectural features of the room, the reduced depth units flowing into the full height doors.
The pocket door cabinet gives an area for small appliances to be stored, meaning the large island is easily kept tidy.

We are very pleased to share one of our kitchens is in print in October’s edition of @homesandgardensuk in which using colour within the kitchen is being explored.
‘Introducing an accent colour presented the opportunity to add a playful edge to this space’, explains Lucy Popps, senior designer. ‘Using the colour on glazed wall cabinets softens the impact and adds depth’.
These cabinets compliment a surprisingly muted kitchen, adding interest to the dining area and providing much useful additional storage.
Would you be brave enough to try a pop of colour on your kitchen? 🌈

We have some family living in Scotland and our daughter visited Balmoral with her cousins this summer while I was in Japan. It was the last day ever that the public could visit Balmoral while the Queen was the Monarch because it closed the following day for her summer vacation and of course she was there from then until now.
I hope the Queen rests in peace and reunites with her beloved Prince Philip in heaven.
We want to share with you the stories behind our kitchens, not just pretty photographs (although we will continue with these too!).
Storage and preparation space are the key elements to a Kitchen Bee kitchen as functionality is at the heart of everything we do.
We love this kitchen as it has a calm exterior whilst behind the scenes it is working very hard to give our Client an easy life; a place for everything = a space that's easy to keep tidy.
Please contact us to discuss your storage needs 😊

This kitchen is tale of two halves; one a striking blue and opposite a serene white elevation, brought together by a peaceful marble-esque ‘Lyra’ work surface by @silestonebycosentino.
We used a shaker, framed door to give a classic nod but left all other detailing simple to give a true ‘modern classic’ feel.
We were lucky with this project and had a lovely space to work with, allowing us to have a large American fridge / freezer, range cooker and the central peninsular houses a double Belfast sink. Both a breakfast cabinet with microwave and a larder pantry cabinet were incorporated into the design.
Our stunning handmade kitchens are made from Oak veneer, with solid Oak internal drawers and accessories. Being custom made we can build the furniture to fit your exact space and ceiling height.
Beautiful, don’t you think?

We are starting this week with a bang & a pop of colour.
One of our smaller and more unusual projects, it has a place firmly in our hearts.
We hugely maximised the storage and worksurface within the kitchen, changing the shape from a simple L shape to a U shape and fitted in a washing machine, integrated bin and dishwasher - much to our Client's delight.
The deep yellow 'Jarosite' kitchen colour was chosen to suit the wall colour and tiles our Client had already picked out. We matched this with paired back black handles and worksurface to let the bright colours shine. A touch of glamour was added with a gold sink and tap though!
This design perfectly suits our Client's warm personality and interesting lifestyle and we love the end result.

The wonderfully curated home of our fashion conscious client is interesting in every way. Each object has been sourced from vintage or antique shops, including the kitchen handles which are original 60s pieces.
The kitchen was designed around the Victorian era of the property; shaker style and original quarry tiles for the floor. The detailing inspiration was taken from the artwork - ‘Nighthawks’ by Edward Hopper, from which the lacquer colour was chosen ‘Invisible Green’ by @littlegreenepaintcompany
The layout is an usual design due to the tricky space & the client wanting to include tall cabinets. A difficult corner was overcome by the cabinet being left open, an unusual choice but this allowed our client to add interest and texture with antique baskets.
Do you have a tricky space or part of your kitchen you need help with? We’d love to discuss with you - mioko@kitchenbeedesign.com

Today our focus is on storage! Don’t you just love how much storage is created with a tall bank of cabinets?
Central in this run is a pocket door cabinet, providing practical and stylish worksurface area for countertop appliances - but that can be shut away after breakfast time.
To the left we have two storage larders, which as you can see are being filled to the maximum for this busy family - perfect for all of your dry goods, tins & oils. Individual drawers take a lot of weight and also make organising easier ☑️
Finally on the right hand side we have full height integrated spectate fridge and freezer - no more running out of fridge space at Christmas!
The finish of the cabinets is a beautiful ’Cemento Basalt’, a dark and moody surface that gives some texture and stops fingers prints showing on the dark surfaces ☑️

This minimal scheme was designed for a first time buyer and would-be architect, which shows with its clean lines and sleek styling.
The main feature is a custom veneer extractor housing and full width open shelf, which gives impact and asymmetric interest to an otherwise understated design.
The material palette is paired back; graphite and off white lacquer for the furniture and small black elements brought in on the sink, taps and appliances.
Small but perfectly formed, don't you think?

Here they are, the professional photographs we’ve been looking forward to sharing. This kitchen is very photogenic and seemed to look great from every angle, thanks to a great building work by @bumble.d3
During the design process we tried out different options for the main back wall; some symmetric and some asymmetric. We finalised the symmetrical design as it sat so well within this unique space, and also maximised storage. The reduced depth units mean the kitchen sits gently between the architectural features and also provide handy larder storage.
We relocated the kitchen from another part of the property - who wouldn’t want to look out on that view whilst cooking?!
What’s your favourite part of this room?

Yesterday we photographed a stunning kitchen in a unique space, and were so pleased to receive this review from our Client.
We worked together to hone their ideas, making the fridge integrated and adding a pocket door cabinet. The lacquer colour ‘Ambleside’ by @littlegreenepaintcompany works perfectly to bring in the garden through the huge glazed doors.

One of our all time favourite projects, the beauty of this installation lies in the material choice and balance.
Designed for art collectors, we purposefully left space above the tall cabinets and had only a shelf above the sink, to allow for artwork to be displayed and keep the feeling of space within the room.
The kitchen leads onto an open plan dining and living plan area, so to keep the furniture looking as sleek as possible we hid the ovens behind pocket doors and created a hidden coffee station.
The material palette of grey stained Oak veneer and stainless steel metallic lacquer bring interest and warmth whilst still feeling modern and soft.

We’re kickstarting our day by sharing this stunning pocket door cabinet, because who doesn’t like some glamorous storage?!
The Natural Elm veneer doors fold away into side pockets and so do not block circulation in the kitchen. The colour brings softness with a hint of pink, and contrasts against the internal crisp white lacquer.
Our Client wanted something special for the splashback so we sourced unique Copper sheet that will tarnish & change with use.
Not only beautiful inside & out, this pocket door cabinet is truly practical with in built spice storage, pan drawers & internal sockets for appliances.

You wouldn't think it now but this room presented challenges when designing. Our client desired an island to cook at, taking advantage of the light from these beautiful windows.
As the space was a little tight we tailored our process, marking out with masking tape on their floor where the island could sit, defining the island physically instead of on plan.
Wanting to bridge the gap between a modern kitchen and their property's period features, we addressed this with the material choice. The smooth lacquer door finish contrasts against the original sanded pine floor and the natural granite surfaces with a tiled splashback is a more classic approach.
As we all know, storage is key in any kitchen & the last minute addition of the reduced depth corner cabinet resulted in a highly useful pantry storage that our client loves.

We are so pleased to share this striking install. Our brightest yet, we just love the combination and character.
We used every inch of space within this apartment to maximise storage and utilise space, fitting in a @fisherpaykel dishwasher & integrated washing machine.
The gorgeous yellow is @craigandrosepaints ‘Jarosite’ and is hiding powder blue carcasses behind the fronts.
It is definitely brightening our mood and getting us ready for sunnier weather 😎
