Freestanding Kitchens
and Unfitted Kitchen Units
Furniture-Led Flexibility
Our freestanding kitchen units and cabinets combine the flexibility of individual furniture-style pieces with the quality and practicality of a fully designed kitchen. Each solid wood cabinet arrives complete rather than flat packed and can be installed as a standalone unit, arranged in a run or combined with fitted cabinetry.
This makes it possible to create a traditional unfitted kitchen that feels relaxed and individual while still incorporating modern appliances, worktops and storage. Our cabinetry is available in a choice of styles, sizes, finishes and paint colours, with bespoke alterations available where required.
Freestanding and unfitted kitchens work particularly well in older homes, where individual cabinets can be arranged around chimney breasts, alcoves, uneven walls and original features. They are ideal for creating a classic furniture-led look in Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian properties.
Freestanding Kitchens Designed Around Your Home
A freestanding or unfitted kitchen is made up of individual furniture-style cabinets rather than one continuous run of fitted units. The cabinets can stand alone, be arranged together or be combined with fitted sections to suit the shape of the room.
This gives the kitchen a more relaxed, collected appearance while still allowing modern appliances, worktops and practical storage to be fully incorporated.
Flexible Freestanding Kitchen Units
Freestanding kitchen units can be used individually or joined together to create a practical run of cabinetry. Dressers, pantry cupboards and islands can also be added as separate pieces, helping the room feel less uniform than a conventional fitted kitchen.
Some units may be repositioned, reused or taken with you if you move home. This will depend on how the worktops, appliances and services have been installed.
Freestanding Kitchen Islands
A kitchen island is one of the easiest ways to introduce a freestanding piece of furniture into the room. It can provide extra preparation space, storage, seating or a central area for entertaining.
Our kitchen islands can be adapted for different uses and designed around the proportions of your room. For more advice, visit our Kitchens with Islands guide.
Solid Wood Freestanding Kitchen Cabinets
Our freestanding kitchen cabinets arrive fully assembled rather than flat packed. The doors and frames are made from solid timber, with traditional mortice and tenon joinery and solid oak dovetailed drawers.
The cabinet interiors are made using Paulownia, chosen for its stability, pale finish and low tannin content. Cabinets can be painted in a wide choice of colours, with bespoke colour matching available on request.
Fitted, Freestanding or Both
Your kitchen does not need to be entirely fitted or entirely freestanding. Many rooms work best with a combination of both.
A fitted run may suit the sink, cooking area and appliances, while a freestanding dresser, pantry cupboard or island introduces a more individual furniture-led element.
Our cabinets have finished sides and can be installed separately or joined together. Recessed plinths can also create a freestanding appearance while preventing crumbs and dust from collecting underneath.
Four Freestanding Kitchen Styles
Our freestanding kitchen units are available across four cabinetry collections:
Shaker Kitchens
Period English Kitchens
English Heritage Kitchens
Fusion Kitchens
Each range has its own proportions and detailing, allowing you to create anything from a traditional unfitted kitchen to a cleaner, more contemporary design.
Standard and Bespoke Kitchen Units
You can choose individual freestanding solid wood units from our online collection or ask us to make bespoke cabinets for your room.
Standard units offer a straightforward way to plan your own kitchen, while bespoke sizing can help with awkward spaces, specific appliance requirements or a more tailored layout.
Planning Your Freestanding Kitchen
Our design team can help you decide whether a fitted, freestanding or combined layout would work best for your home. We can advise on cabinet sizes, appliance positions, storage, worktops, finishes and installation.
