The Luxury Cabinetry Difference
Not all cabinets are created equal. The difference between standard cabinetry and true luxury custom cabinets is in the details - the materials, construction methods, finishes, and personalisation options.
Premium Cabinet Construction
Our luxury kitchen cabinetry starts with the finest materials. Unlike budget options that use chipboard or MDF, we craft our cabinet carcasses from solid wood for ultimate durability. This foundation ensures your cabinets will last decades, not just years.
We use traditional joinery techniques like dovetail joints for drawers - a mark of quality craftsmanship that provides superior strength. Our cabinet boxes feature solid wood frames and thick plywood panels, far exceeding industry standards.
For the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, we offer a range of premium options:
- Solid hardwoods - oak, walnut, cherry, maple and more
- Exotic wood veneers - for stunning grain patterns
- Hand-painted finishes - with eco-friendly paints in any colour
- Mixed material designs - incorporating glass, metal or stone elements
Bespoke Cabinet Features
What makes high-end cabinetry truly special is the attention to detail and customisation. Our elite cabinet makers can incorporate:
- Custom interior fittings - specialised storage for everything from wine to spices
- Integrated lighting - subtle LED systems that highlight your beautiful cabinets
- Decorative elements - from crown moulding to fluted columns
- Designer hardware - handles and hinges from top suppliers like Häfele UK
- Speciality finishes - from distressed antique effects to modern metallic glazes

Common Questions About Luxury Custom Cabinetry
What defines luxury cabinetry in Derby?
Luxury cabinetry in Derby means fully bespoke designs tailored to your space, built from premium materials like solid hardwoods rather than MDF or chipboard. It includes hand-crafted details, dovetail joinery, superior finish quality, and custom features you won't find in off-the-shelf options. Most importantly, true luxury cabinetry is built locally by skilled craftspeople who take pride in their work.
How much do luxury custom cabinets cost?
Pricing for custom cabinetry depends on several factors including size, materials, complexity, and features. While luxury custom cabinets represent a bigger investment than mass-produced alternatives, they offer superior quality, perfect fit, and decades of service. For a typical kitchen, premium cabinetry generally starts around £15,000 and can range upward depending on specifications. We provide detailed quotes after initial consultations so you'll know exactly what to expect.
What woods and finishes are best for luxury cabinets?
The best wood depends on your aesthetic preferences and how you'll use the space. Oak offers traditional beauty and durability. Walnut provides rich, dark elegance. Maple takes paint beautifully for colourful designs. For finishes, hand-painted cabinets allow unlimited colour options with a furniture-quality look. Natural oil finishes bring out wood's character while providing protection. During your consultation, we'll help you choose materials and finishes that match your vision and lifestyle.
How long does luxury cabinetry creation take?
Creating truly custom cabinets takes time - typically 8-12 weeks from design approval to installation. This includes detailed design work, material sourcing, hand crafting, finishing processes, and careful installation. While this is longer than buying ready-made cabinets, the result is worth the wait. We'll provide a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
What hardware is recommended for luxury cabinets?
We recommend premium hardware that matches your cabinet's quality. Soft-close hinges from Blum or Häfele provide smooth, quiet operation. For handles and knobs, we offer everything from hand-forged traditional designs to sleek contemporary options in various finishes. During the design process, you'll be able to see and feel hardware samples to make the perfect selection for both function and appearance.
Can luxury cabinetry be designed for period properties?
Absolutely! We specialise in creating cabinets that honour architectural heritage while providing modern functionality. For Georgian, Victorian, or Edwardian homes in Derby, we can match original moulding profiles, use traditional construction methods, and select appropriate period details. This approach preserves your home's character while providing all the conveniences of modern cabinetry.
What maintenance do luxury cabinets require?
Our luxury cabinets are built to last with minimal maintenance. For painted finishes, occasional cleaning with a soft damp cloth is usually sufficient. Wood finishes benefit from an annual application of a quality furniture polish or conditioning oil. We provide detailed care instructions with all our cabinetry, and our warranty covers any issues related to materials or craftsmanship.
How does luxury cabinetry increase home value?
Quality cabinetry is one of the best investments you can make in your property. Real estate experts consistently find that premium kitchens and built-in storage solutions command higher home values and faster sales. Unlike trendy finishes that quickly date, timeless custom cabinetry continues to add value for decades. Our clients often tell us their cabinetry is a highlight when showing their homes to visitors or potential buyers.
What warranty comes with luxury custom cabinetry?
We stand behind our craftsmanship with a comprehensive 10-year warranty covering all aspects of our cabinet construction. This reflects our confidence in the quality of materials and workmanship that goes into every project. Additionally, hardware components carry manufacturers' warranties, typically 25 years for premium brands we recommend.
Do you offer an all-inclusive service including building work?
Yes, we provide complete project management services for kitchen renovations, including any necessary building work. Whether you need walls removed to create an open-plan layout, new flooring installed, or plumbing and electrical work, our team coordinates all aspects of the project. This integrated approach ensures smooth execution and consistent quality throughout the renovation.
