The kitchen is more than just a functional space – it’s the heart of your home, where family moments are shared and memories are made.
When undertaking a kitchen renovation, selecting the right style is essential to create a space that reflects your personality and fits seamlessly with your lifestyle.
At Lucas Grant Kitchens, a leading bespoke kitchen company in Surrey, we offer luxury kitchens in a range of customisable styles, all crafted with exceptional attention to detail.
Whether your dream style is a sleek contemporary kitchen, a timeless shaker kitchen, or something entirely unique, in this guide we will help you explore the possibilities and discover your perfect match.
The Barrington Collection: Contemporary Sophistication
Contemporary style is known for combining of-the-moment design trends, including sharp silhouettes, visual contrast, open spaces, intentional simplicity, and attention to quality.
This restrained approach doesn’t mean boring or basic aesthetics. On the contrary, when executed well, contemporary style choices result in strikingly elegant, impactful designs.
If you’re looking to modernise your space with a kitchen renovation, the Barrington Collection epitomises contemporary sophistication while also offering versatility and customisation options.
With its flat slab cabinet doors, clean lines, and sleek, minimalist finishes, it’s the ideal choice to create a modern kitchen that exudes effortless style.
Key Features
The Barrington range is all about achieving a smooth, streamlined appearance. Hand-crafted from durable, premium-grade MDF or hardwood, its slab-style overlay doors sit neatly over the kitchen carcass for a flush, seamless look.
To add visual interest without compromising on the understated elegance of the cabinetry, you can swap external door handles for integrated handleless options, including ergonomic J-handles or a shadow gap with a contrasting or matching recessed area.
Colour Choices
Popular colour choices for contemporary bespoke kitchens include soft neutrals, dramatic black, and bold monochromes.
Whether you prefer a high-gloss finish for a polished look or a muted matt for understated sophistication, the Barrington Collection can be tailored to your exact specifications. You can even mix and match finishes to add extra depth to the design.
The Searle Collection: Timeless Shaker Kitchens
As House and Garden explains, shaker-style kitchens feature units with doors that sport a single central panel and raised frame around them.
With little to no further adornment (except for door handles), a shaker kitchen prioritises craftsmanship and a simple, timeless aesthetic instead of elaborate decoration.
Lucas Grant’s Searle Collection embodies these qualities, offering a beautiful in-frame bespoke kitchen design that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern practicality.
Made from solid hardwood, the Searle Collection brings refined elegance to any home, making it a firm favourite among those looking for exceptional handmade kitchens in Surrey.
Key Features
Unlike off-the-shelf kitchens, each Searle kitchen is made-to-order. A single-piece, solid wood frame is built to seamlessly fit your space, while hand-crafted doors and drawer fronts enhance the kitchen’s classic beauty and functionality.
Crafted from high-quality, sustainable timber like oak or tulipwood, the Searle Collection allows for subtle personalisation through features such as traditional beaded edges or modernising square edges.
Colour Choices
With an almost endless palette of water-based paint available – from on-trend earthy tones of green or reddish brown and warm shades of beige to bold colours and everything in between! – you can take your pick for your kitchen renovation.
Lucas Grant can also match any bespoke colour, resulting in a kitchen that perfectly complements your home’s decor.
The Firgrove Collection: A Modern Twist on Tradition
The Firgrove Collection reimagines conventional shaker kitchens with an overlay door style that offers a contemporary yet still familiar aesthetic.
It’s a versatile option for Surrey homeowners who want the warmth of traditional styles, but with a fresh, modern edge.
Key Features
While a Firgrove kitchen retains the abiding charm of the shaker-style, it is updated with doors that sit directly over the carcass, without a surrounding frame. This overlay design achieves a smooth, seamless appearance that balances simplicity and sophistication.
Like the Barrington Collection, Firgrove kitchens are fully customisable and hand-crafted in our Surrey workshop using durable A-grade MDF or solid wood. Each kitchen is tailored to suit your individual preferences, resulting in a bespoke kitchen design.
Colour Choices
This collection is highly adaptable, with a choice between plain or wood-grain finishes that can be painted in any colour.
Bold shades like forest green and electric blue are set to be popular choices for 2025, while lighter pastels add a dreamy, airy feel.
The Latchwood Collection: Unique and Versatile
For those torn between traditional and contemporary designs, the Latchwood Collection provides the best of both worlds.
Drawing inspiration from the Searle and the Barrington, this collection combines classic in-frame cabinetry with sleek slab doors.
With this blend of remarkable craftsmanship and clean, modern aesthetics, the Latchwood Collection offers unmatched flexibility for bespoke kitchen designs.
Key Features
Handcrafted solid hardwood frames and flat, smooth doors create a striking contrast that works beautifully in both period and modern homes. You can choose from a wide range of handle options, or even a handleless design for a totally streamlined look.
In fact, every aspect of the Latchwood’s design can be tailored to suit your space and lifestyle, resulting in a luxury kitchen that is as individual as you are.
Colour Choices
Whether you want a rich, natural wood finish or cabinets painted in a colour of your choice, we will finish your Latchwood kitchen however you desire.

How to Choose the Right Style for Your Home
Selecting the right kitchen style can feel overwhelming, but focusing on your needs and preferences can simplify the process:
- Space – Smaller kitchens may benefit from streamlined designs like the Barrington Collection, while larger spaces can showcase the unique design features of a totally bespoke kitchen design.
- Lifestyle – Consider how you use your kitchen. Do you need features such as an island for practicality, a large table with plenty of seating for entertaining, or smart storage solutions to simplify family life?
- Colour Palette – Opt for colours that resonate with your personal style and enhance your home’s overall aesthetic. Neutral tones are versatile, while brighter shades create striking focal points.
With kitchen inspiration and expert guidance from Lucas Grant Kitchens, you can find a style that perfectly complements your home and vision.
