From Classic to Contemporary in Kent
Location: Maidstone, Kent
Project: Kitchen refresh with replacement doors and quartz overlay worktops
Customer: Joanne
Overview
Joanne’s Kent kitchen had a traditional oak finish that no longer suited her style. She wanted something bold and contemporary but still timeless. By upgrading her doors and worktops with Quartzize, the entire kitchen was reimagined without the disruption of a full full refit.
What Changed
- Cabinet Doors: Installed Horton doors in Superior Matt Graphite. Their shaker detailing paired with a deep, dramatic tone instantly gave the space a contemporary, high-end look.
- Worktops: Fitted White Sparkle Quartz overlay worktops. With subtle flecks and a bright surface, the quartz reflects light and balances the darker cabinetry perfectly.
- Finishing Touches: With sleek handles and trims, The central island was updated to match, tying the entire design together.
