Stunning Kitchen Update with Bold Elegance

Location: Maidstone, Kent
Project: Kitchen refresh with quartz overlay worktops and replacement doors
Customer: Mr & Mrs Taylor

Overview

Mr & Mrs Taylor wanted to modernise their Maidstone kitchen without the mess and cost of a full full refit. The old woodgrain units and darker counters no longer reflected their style. By opting for this approach, they achieved a complete before-and-after refresh that kept the existing layout while upgrading the visible elements for a bold yet refined new look.

What Changed

• Worktops: Installed Bianco Riso Quartz overlay worktops, a bright white quartz with subtle texture that reflects light beautifully and balances the dark cabinetry.
• Cabinet Doors: Updated to Taunton Graphite Matt doors, a timeless panel design in a rich, matte grey tone for depth and sophistication.
• Finishing Touches: Sleek cup handles and a timeless white subway tile backsplash completed the look, blending traditional charm with contemporary freshness.

The Outcome

The kitchen now feels sleek, welcoming, and effortlessly sleek. The bold graphite doors ground the design, while the bright quartz overlays add contrast and lightness. Together with the new handles and subway tiling, the space is functional, contemporary, and full of character — all without the disruption of a full full refit.

From the Homeowner
