Impeccable service, high quality products and creative design, this is the only place to buy your dream kitchen!!
Right from the initial home visit where design options were provided, bespoke to my kitchen shape and the style of my home. Through to finding the right complementary colours, choice of materials and adding excellent finishing touches. I can not thank Kitchen Studio enough especially Nigel the fitter who is incredibly skilled and went above and beyond to create our dream kitchen
We are so pleased with the result

We made an appointment to meet James. He was so friendly and welcoming and sat and went through our kitchen makeover. Working with us to keep our granite worktops. Nothing was too much bother and he showed us different designs and handles. We chose a two tone kitchen which complimented each other from the brochure. Indigo blue on the top and light grey on the bottom. Throughout the service James kept us updated on delivery and we ended getting it delivered and fitted a week earlier which was fantastic customer service. James has a vast knowledge and this is due to his 20 years experience. James organised Ian to fit the kitchen. Ian was friendly, professional and very experienced which you can tell with the fitting of our kitchen. Ian tidied up after himself and kitchen was fitted in two days. We had a bad experience with the first company we used a few years ago for our kitchen very substandard work, rude and unhelpful staff so you can imagine we were very nervous to get a new kitchen. We should not have worried as James was amazing. The quality of units and finish has transformed our kitchen. We recommend Kitchen Studio for the whole experience of a new kitchen. We have enclosed before and after photos. Thank you James and Ian.

We felt very welcome in this new to Sunderland business. James explained he had been in the business for over 20 years but had recently relocated to Sunderland. We were his first customers through the door and were very impressed with the showroom.
We worked together on a design for the kitchen and very soon put our order in. In a matter of weeks my old kitchen was removed and Nigel the fitter did an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the fitting and in less than 2 weeks I had my dream kitchen.
A shout out to Ricky Powney who tiled the walls in a very professional manner too.
Highly recommended

5 Stars – Outstanding Service and Results!
I can’t recommend the kitchen studio in Sunderland highly enough! From start to finish, the team was incredibly efficient, professional, and attentive to every detail. They made what could have been a stressful renovation process feel completely seamless.
Communication was clear and timely throughout, and the quality of the craftsmanship is exceptional. Every element of the design was executed perfectly, and the final result has completely transformed my space.
It’s rare to find a company that combines such high standards with genuine customer care – a truly amazing job from a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. Thank you!

Custom Kitchen Islands and Breakfast Bars in Sunderland
A kitchen island or breakfast bar is more than just a stylish addition. It can completely transform how you use your kitchen day to day. Whether you are preparing meals, working from home, or helping the children with homework, a custom island adds functionality and elegance tailored to your lifestyle. At Kitchen Studio, we create bespoke kitchen islands and breakfast bars in Sunderland designed to suit your space and routine.
Our team works closely with local homeowners to build kitchen centrepieces that enhance both function and style. From clean-lined modern layouts to warm, traditional designs, every project is approached with care to ensure it suits how you live. You won’t get a generic solution from us. You’ll get something built specifically for your home and your needs.
Why Choose a Custom Island or Breakfast Bar
Standard units rarely make the most of your kitchen space. They often fall short on fit, match, and practicality. A custom solution offers flexibility and precision.
Here’s why so many Sunderland homeowners opt for a custom design:
- Smarter use of limited or unusual kitchen layouts
- Casual dining space for everyday meals or entertaining
- Added storage through cabinets, drawers, or shelving
- Room for integrated appliances like wine fridges or microwave drawers
- A go-to area for cooking, eating and connecting with family
For example, one family with a compact U-shaped kitchen needed workspace that did not make the room feel cramped. We designed a slimline island with storage on both sides and a breakfast bar extension that served as a flexible prep and dining area. It changed how they used the space without sacrificing flow.
Built Around How You Live
Great kitchens reflect how you move and live in them. Your island might need to divide the kitchen and dining area, or act as a social spot during parties and family time.
We regularly incorporate features such as:
- Built-in sockets and USB ports
- Integrated appliances like wine coolers and fridge drawers
- Two-tone finishes and feature materials for contrast
- Seating extensions perfect for open-plan living
Many homeowners use their breakfast bar as the main morning hub. Others use it for work, dining or socialising. We work with you to ensure the setup matches your day-to-day life every step of the way.
Materials That Match Your Style
Every Kitchen Studio island is crafted using strong, durable materials that perform as brilliantly as they look. Whether you want bold and modern or understated and warm, we select materials that tie your kitchen together beautifully.
Our options include:
- Solid hardwoods with visible natural grain
- Low-maintenance quartz and long-lasting granite surfaces
- Hand-painted finishes in timeless or trend-forward colours
- Combinations of timber and stone for texture and style depth
A recent project in Seaburn saw us bring a homeowner’s vision of a dramatic grey centrepiece to life. Paired with a soft matte finish and contrasting light quartz top, the island became the centre of attention without overwhelming the space.
Our Process from Start to Finish
We believe that creating lasting results should feel seamless. From the first idea on paper to final fitting day, our team handles everything with expert care.
Here’s what to expect:
- A no-pressure consultation at your home or in our Sunderland showroom
- Planning and 3D visualisation so you can explore different options
- Expert craftsmanship by our experienced builders and fitters
- Clean, professional installation with minimal disruption
