These wins add to a growing list of recognitions that celebrate our passion for design, including Kitchen of the Year 2022, ‘One Small Step’ for Sustainability 2023, and Best Use of Colour 2024. Every award is a reflection of the care, creativity, and craftsmanship that goes into every Magnet kitchen.
From thoughtful design details to hard-working layouts, it’s all part of our commitment to kitchens that are Better. By Design.
Ludlow
Parchment & French Clay
A timeless blend of classic elegance and modern practicality, our Ludlow framed kitchen in Parchment and French Clay delivers a refined yet inviting family space. Thoughtfully designed, this kitchen, utility, and dining area seamlessly combine period charm with contemporary convenience, making it the perfect choice for Best Classic Kitchen.
Classic Design with a Contemporary Edge
The Ludlow framed kitchen epitomises traditional craftsmanship with its exquisite detailing, framed construction, and rich, heritage-inspired tones. The combination of Parchment and French Clay creates
a sophisticated contrast, enhancing the depth and character of the space. Authentic timber cabinetry, enhanced by T&G end panels, reinforces the handmade aesthetic, while the ribbed glass dresser introduces a subtle touch of vintage charm.
"The Ludlow kitchen in this smart combination of French Clay and Parchment gives depth and elegance to a neutral scheme. It’s timeless but still feels totally on trend for modern homes."
Uncompromised Functionality
A key element of this kitchen’s appeal is its ability to balance aesthetics with practical living. The inclusion of a Neff downdraught extractor ensures a clutter-free environment, eliminating the need for a bulky overhead hood and maintaining clean sightlines. This discreet solution integrates seamlessly into the sleek worktop, preserving the kitchen’s open and airy ambience.
For enhanced functionality, the design incorporates a versatile dining bench seat with concealed storage—perfect for keeping everyday essentials within easy reach while providing a welcoming spot for casual dining or family gatherings.
Exceptional Craftsmanship & Materials
Every detail of the Ludlow framed kitchen has been carefully considered to exude quality and refinement:
- Framed cabinetry delivers a handcrafted look with enduring appeal.
- T&G end panels reinforce the kitchen’s traditional character while adding visual interest.
- Ribbed glass dresser offers a striking focal point, elegantly displaying tableware and decorative pieces.
- Solid brass handles provide a warm, luxurious finishing touch, complementing the timeless colour palette.
Integra Brunswick & Integra Nordic Nature
A striking balance of modern industrial design and Scandinavian calm, our Brunswick Sumi kitchen offers an effortlessly stylish and highly functional space tailored for contemporary living. With its refined detailing, innovative storage solutions, and sustainable materials, this kitchen is designed to inspire and impress while remaining accessible at an affordable price point.
A Contemporary Take on Classic Craftsmanship
The Brunswick Sumi kitchen stands out with its Crittall-inspired frontal, featuring a slim shaker frame and distinctive cross-bar details on taller doors. This fusion of industrial influence with minimalist refinement creates a bold yet timeless aesthetic. Ribbed glass units, stacked to form an impressive furniture feature, add texture and depth, enhancing the overall sense of sophistication.
Innovative Storage & Thoughtful Functionality
At the heart of the design is the seamless integration of practical storage solutions to suit modern family life. The kitchen features electric-opening bifold wall cabinets, activated with a simple touch, offering easy access while maintaining clean, uncluttered lines. A welcoming hallway bench storage area extends the usability of the space, providing a convenient yet stylish spot for seating and organisation.
Smart & Flexible Utility Design
The kitchen is complemented by a secluded utility area, effortlessly created using a simple stud wall. This clever architectural choice not only maximises space but also inspires customers to explore practical home design solutions through minor structural adaptations. The result is a multi-functional home environment that remains both stylish and efficient.
