Free Standing & Unfitted Kitchens
Create a Free-Standing Look
At the White Kitchen Company, we have recognised a growing trend in kitchen furniture that has been around in Europe for quite some time, ‘the freestanding unfitted kitchen’. Although many of our customers have chosen their kitchen units to be fitted our solid wood base units arrive in one piece (no flat pack assembly), so naturally they lend themselves to be left free-standing.
The Benefits of Looking Like Free-Standing Kitchen Units
Versatility
- You can design them as a run of units, or have them as an individual cabinet look by adding leg and end panels.
- Within the kitchen, you can combine antique or retro pieces for a characterful, laid-back look.
- Old homes with their wonky walls can make fitting cabinets more difficult, whereas the freestanding look works well.
- Because these items are free-standing, you can take them with you when you move or sell*.
Adaptability
- Modern appliances can be totally hidden.
Traditional
- You can achieve a classic look, perfect for Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian homes.

Fitted kitchens might seem like a better use of the space, but once you have one, you’re committed to it. With an un-fitted kitchen style that is made up of robust cabinets (not flat packed), you can change how your kitchen looks by rearranging the units and re-fitting the worktop. Or even sell or take them with you if you move home.
