Stoneham Kitchen at Kitchens International

Creating kitchens that dreams are made of is what Kitchens International does best. It listens to how the client wants to use the kitchen and then designs a kitchen that marries the needs of all the family. From a dedicated cook space to an area for children to dump muddy rugby clothes, every wish will all be taken into account, making a Kitchens International kitchen the true heart of the home.
With some of the finest kitchens in the world on display, Kitchens International (KI) has six showrooms in Scotland, with brands such as Poggenpohl, Mowlem & Co, Stoneham, Callerton, Leicht and RWK , V-zug, Siemens, Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Kohler all available to clients. (more…)

We’re soon opening a new showroom in Perth. Featuring some beautiful kitchens it will allow us to provide an even better kitchen design and retail service for  the whole of Scotland with showrooms from Aberdeen in the north to Glasgow in the south. Opening in February this 120m squared showroom is located at 16-18 Princes St, Perth. Tel: 01738 639090. Opening hours- Mon-Sat 9.30-5.30. It will have Leicht & Callerton furniture and Siemens, Wolf, Sub Zero and V-zug appliances, Corian, granite and Silestone worktops and new Kohler taps and sinks.

Since KI is Siemens largest independent account in the UK, it was fitting that they organised a special training day for 11 of our KI staff from Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow to learn how to get the most out of the Siemens appliances. Siemens have a large training facility in Milton Keynes and the staff had the oppportunity to try for themselves the many features on Siemens appliances so they are in a perfect position to advise clients. We have four Siemens IQ Status studios in Scotland where customers can see for themselves fully operational Siemens appliances.

Our Westfield Road showroom hosted a highly successful cookery demonstration on Sat 27th August by Siemens to show potential and existing customers how to get the most from their Siemens appliances. Almost 40 people attended the two demonstrations and found them informative, useful and very helpful. One customer said: “very valuable insight into ovens and hob” which makes it all worthwhile.

As a part of major building works, Kenneth and Catriona Stuart moved their kitchen one floor up to link in with their new two-storey extension.

Appliance Bank - built-in prolytic oven, warming drawer and steam oven, all by Siemens, have been positioned at waist height in a run of cabinetry to minimise the need for bending down. To the right of the oven, the fridge has been fully integrated behind a tall door to maintain the kitchen's sleek appearance"It was complete mayhem for aound eight months in total," says Kenneth. "However, compared to everything else that was going on at the time, the kitchen installation, which was done separately from the main contractor, was a relatively painless project".The new location for the L-shaped open-plan kitchen was one floor above the old one, in a former sitting room, complete with period plaster cornicing and a traditional sash and case window.With the new extension in place, the couple approached Kitchens International to design a modern scheme for the room. "We picked the company because designer Kieron Bell was in tune with our ideas and worked with us to evolve the finished design" explains Kenneth. "Kitchen's International's design software was a deciding factor in what is, after all, a major investment".Having chosen grey cabinets with a matt finish, Kenneth and Catriona decided to include an accent colour. Vibrant orange glass in a bespoke shade was incorporated into the island's raised partition and also forms an open shelving area on the far wall. The original pine door and window shutters were stripped back and their warm honey colour complements the vibrant orange glass perfectly.Keneth and Catriona had always planned to have a streamlined and understated kitchen with very little clutter, and this has been achieved thanks to designer Kieron's clever storage solutions and some smart finishing touches. The space below the island's breakfast bar, for example, incorporates a large area of handleless units for storing less frequently used items of kitchenware. Other subtle details include worktops with minimal overhang so that they fit flush with the drawers and cupboard doors, and boxed-in fluorescent strip lights that illuminate the cornicing.The central island is divided into two sections by a raised partition.

The couple’s choice of kitchen also gets the nod from their architect.  “The design is modern, simple and bold and sits well in what is now a generous, flowing, white space” smiles Nigel Somner. 

Both Kenneth and Catriona feel that the finished result strikes the perfect balance between 21st century design and Victorian architecture, and agree that their huge undertaking was worth the upheaval.  “We took a leap of faith undertaking a major building project and kitchen installation at the same time” says Kenneth “However, the end more than justifies the means”.

Our Edinburgh showroom on Westfield Rd in Murrayfield is in the process of being renoavted. With exciting new displays from Leicht, RWK & Callerton, it will showcase some of the latest and sleekest kitchens available
