Beautiful Hand Built Kitchens
Bespoke
​
​
Designed to your individual requirements, our heritage ​is founded in traditional cabinet making.
For over 25 years 
 we've been designing and building bespoke kitchens for our valued clients homes.

This level of skill and craftsmanship is still in use today, designing and building of our bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, studies and furniture.  
​If you have never experienced the freedom of a bespoke kitchen, you are in for a treat! ​

​Hand Built For You

The build quality and integrity of our bespoke cabinet work can only be equalled, never surpassed.
Individual

Each kitchen we create is Individually designed & commissioned, we do not have standard sizes, styles or finishes.  
This means your kitchen is unique to you, no two are ever the same.


By ​working directly with the founders of Modern Living, Mark & Nick,
​ you are accessing over 50 years combined design 
experience.
Design
​

Our kitchens can be designed, hand built & installed for you as part
of our remodelling programme or as an individual commission. 


We use two dedicated software programmes to model your designs and foot print
​, 
​allowing you to see how it will function and flow before its installed.

Built and finished in our own workshops our cabinet work is available in a variety of designs including:
