Folkestone Kitchen Before & After — Horton Superior Matt Graphite Doors
Location: Folkestone, Kent
Project: Door-only kitchen refresh
Customer: Tony
Overview
With handleless gloss units that no longer matched his style, Tony’s Folkestone kitchen had previously been fitted. He wanted something timeless, yet bold, that could deliver a more sophisticated look without the upheaval of a full renovation. Quartzize provided the perfect solution: a shaker-style door replacement that instantly redefined the space.
What Changed
- Cabinet Doors: Installed Horton-style doors in Superior Matt Graphite. The shaker detailing brings traditional charm, while the deep graphite colour gives a strong, contemporary presence.
- Finishing Touches: Retained the existing worktops and tiling, which contrast beautifully against the dark cabinetry, ensuring balance and brightness in the overall design.

The Outcome
The before-and-after refresh turned Tony’s kitchen into a space that feels sophisticated, sleek, and welcoming. The Superior Matt Graphite doors add depth and elegance, while the light-toned counters and white tiles keep the look bright and balanced. It’s a striking example of how a door-only refresh can deliver maximum impact.
