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!

Premium Kitchen Design and Installation in Durham
If you are looking to upgrade your kitchen in Durham, having the right design and installation team makes all the difference. Whether you are working with a compact space or planning a complete renovation, your kitchen should feel tailored, well-organised, and built to last. Kitchen Studio helps homeowners across Durham create kitchens that reflect their lifestyle.
With over 20 years of industry experience, our Sunderland-based, family-run team brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every kitchen design and installation in Durham. We have worked with clients in both modern homes and older properties, always crafting kitchens that combine everyday practicality with the right design details.
Why Durham Homeowners Work with Kitchen Studio
Every home and household is different, and so is every kitchen we build. Our approach starts with listening. As we are based just outside Durham in Sunderland, arranging home consultations and site visits is fast and flexible. From your first enquiry to handing over the finished kitchen, we stay close to every detail to ensure a smooth, transparent process.
Because everything we do is handled under one roof, you are not left coordinating multiple suppliers. You work with a single team of fully trained professionals experienced in managing full kitchen projects across the Durham area.
Tailored Kitchen Design That Works for You
A beautiful kitchen also needs to work properly. That is why we focus on how you move through your space before proposing any layout changes. Our bespoke design consultations explore your real needs, your preferred features, and the way you actually use your kitchen day to day.
Some questions we may look at together include:
- Would a new layout improve your daily cooking and cleaning flow
- Are storage types or smart appliances a high priority
- What materials will suit your home and lifestyle
- Are there clever ways to better use awkward corners or tight areas
Whatever your requirements, we use these insights to shape a design you can live with comfortably for years to come.
Visual Tools That Bring Your Ideas to Life
We use high-quality 3D visualisations and CAD drawings to show you exactly how your kitchen will look before any building work starts. These tools let you compare styles and configurations without guesswork. This is especially helpful for homes in Durham with quirky layouts or period features.
You will have plenty of time to explore your options and make adjustments without pressure. Together, we will settle on a setup that’s realistic, stylish, and functional.
Bespoke Storage That Goes Further
We hand-build made-to-measure cabinets that are designed around you. It is about storage that fits not just your walls but your life. Whether that includes floor-to-ceiling cupboards, spacious pantry drawers, or inventive corner units, every feature has a purpose.
Our cabinetry is built in-house with care and precision. Interior organisers, stylish hardware, and clever pull-outs are all considered from the very start.
Even small updates like replacing cupboards or resurfacing doors can dramatically refresh a tired kitchen if a full renovation isn’t needed.
Finishing Details: Worktops and Splashbacks
High-traffic areas like worktops and splashbacks should be as practical as they are stylish. We offer a curated range of durable, long-lasting surfaces, including quartz, solid wood, and natural stone.
From subtle glass panels to bold patterned tiles, we help you find the right finish that matches the mood you want to create. The result is a kitchen that not only looks the part, but that wears well over time.
Lighting and Appliances: Built-In Convenience
Good lighting makes all the difference in any well-used kitchen. We plan task lights and feature lighting early in the design phase so it feels intentional. Under-cabinet spotlights, pendants over breakfast bars, or dimmable lighting for the evenings are all options you can explore.
We also plan bespoke housings for appliances, ensuring ovens, dishwashers and fridge freezers are integrated neatly into your cabinetry. No exposed backs or gaps. Just a unified, fuss-free finish.
Complete Project Management
Our Durham clients benefit from full project support. We handle every stage of the kitchen design and installation, from removing old units and rerouting electrics, to final clean-up. You won’t need to chase suppliers or manage multiple contractors.
We commit to clear communication, timeline updates, and minimal disruption, so you can carry on with day-to-day life while your new kitchen takes shape.
Beyond Kitchens: Bedrooms and Offices
Need help elsewhere in your home? We also design and install fitted wardrobes and office furniture. Many of our customers ask us to carry their project style into other rooms for consistency. We are always happy to plan ahead or revisit those spaces when the time suits you.
Your choices in layout and finish today might also set the tone for future updates, so it helps to keep the bigger picture in mind when designing your kitchen.
