Kitchen design for Hitchin homes, from Dunstable

Joshua Donald Kitchens designs, supplies and installs kitchens for homeowners in Hitchin from our showroom at 9 Eleanor's Cross, Dunstable, LU6 1SU. We stock Schuller, Next125, Nobilia and Hacker, with over 30 years' experience behind every design and a Google rating of 4.8 from 17 reviews.

That means one team handles the whole job: the design, the cabinetry, the appliances and the fitting. Handleless or handled, gloss or matt, wood, ceramic or stone, the choice is made in front of real doors and real worktops rather than on a screen.

The showroom is open every day, 10:00 to 19:00, so you can come when it suits you. Talk to us today on 01582 966 930.

Why choose a German kitchen for your home?

German engineering is the reason we stock Schuller, Next125, Nobilia and Hacker. Hacker kitchens are made in Rödinghausen, Germany, by a company founded in 1898, and the brand describes itself as ‘German kitchens from a family business in Rödinghausen, founded in 1898’.

What that gives you day to day is quiet, precise cabinetry: handleless fronts that open at a touch, drawers that glide and close softly, and innovative storage solutions that put pans, bins and spices exactly where your hands expect them. Pair white or dark grey handleless doors with a pale stone-effect worktop and the room stays calm even when it is busy.

Come and open the drawers yourself. We would far rather you judged the build by hand than by photograph, so we invite you to visit our showroom in Dunstable.

Open-plan dining kitchen with handleless cabinetry in wood-effect and concrete-effect grey, a black mirrored splashback, built-in oven and microwave stack, and a tall open drinks display.

Handleless kitchens in wood and concrete finishes

If you want a kitchen with no visible handles, a handleless design keeps the run of doors unbroken and the surfaces easy to wipe down. Wood-effect fronts warm the room; concrete-effect grey keeps it cool and architectural. Put them together and you get contrast without clutter.

The details matter here. A black mirrored splashback bounces light back across the room, an oven and microwave stack brings cooking up to eye level, and a tall open drinks display gives the space somewhere relaxed to end the evening. We have completed handleless kitchens in Bedfordshire and London, including a wood-effect loft kitchen, so these are finishes we work with regularly rather than theory.

Bring your measurements to the Dunstable showroom and we will show you how the same ideas sit in a home like yours.

Modern open-plan kitchen with a large island breakfast bar, dark grey handleless cabinetry, a white worktop with a wood-effect waterfall end, and a wood-effect splashback. Built-in black appliances, a tall fridge unit, grey bar stools, pale grey tiled floor, and wide sliding glass doors with a rooflight are visible.

Island kitchens that open up the back of the house

An island gives you prep space, seating and storage in one piece of furniture, which is why so many open-plan rebuilds are planned around it. Dark grey handleless cabinetry with a white worktop and a wood-effect waterfall end is a combination that reads as modern without feeling cold.

We design around what the room already gives you. Wide sliding doors and a rooflight change where the light falls, so the hob, the sink and the breakfast bar are placed to suit how you actually move between them. Built-in black appliances and a tall fridge housing keep the long wall tidy, and bar stools turn the island into the place everyone gathers. Our completed work includes a dark grey handleless kitchen in St Albans and a light grey German kitchen in Hertfordshire.

Sketches and photographs are welcome; so are rough ideas.

Open-plan contemporary kitchen with a large white handleless island and marble-effect worktop, integrated hob, and a chrome tap at the sink run. Exposed oak roof beams and tall glazed doors surround a seating area, with copper and black pendant lights above and marble-effect floor tiles throughout.

Recent kitchen projects near Hitchin and across Herts

Our completed projects near this part of Hertfordshire include an open-plan kitchen with beams in St Albans, a dark grey handleless kitchen in St Albans, a light grey German kitchen in Hertfordshire and a matt dark grey kitchen in Luton.

The St Albans beamed kitchen shows how a period roof and a modern kitchen can share a room: two large white handleless islands, one holding the sink and one the hob, black tall cabinetry housing the built-in ovens, black pendants dropped over the work surfaces and marble-effect floor tiles with grey veining running underneath. Nothing fights the beams, and the island tops stay clear.

If your home has beams, sloping ceilings or an awkward chimney breast, bring the photographs in. We have usually solved something similar nearby.

Bright kitchen with two-tone shaker cabinetry in light grey and white, a large marble-effect island worktop with bar stools, pendant lighting, white metro tile splashback, a range cooker alcove with dark tiled surround, and a farmhouse-style sink beneath a large window.

Shaker kitchens for period and cottage-style homes

A shaker kitchen suits an older house because the framed door sits comfortably against original features without pretending to be antique. Two-tone schemes are an easy way to add depth: light grey on the base units, white on the walls, or the reverse if your room is darker.

The finishing touches carry the look. A marble-effect island worktop with stools under it, pendants hung low, a white metro tile splashback, a range cooker set into a dark tiled alcove and a farmhouse-style sink placed under the window where the washing-up view is best. We have completed a two-tone shaker kitchen in East London, and shaker is one of the styles on show alongside gloss, matt, wood, ceramic and stone and metallic.
