Selecting a new kitchen is an exciting yet complex process, with numerous design elements to consider, from cabinetry and worktops to appliances, storage, and flooring. One of the UK’s largest privately owned manufacturers of fitted kitchens, Symphony, offers homeowners a comprehensive solution with its latest Gallery brochure—a curated collection of stylish, high-quality kitchens paired with expert guidance. This new brochure is an essential starting point for anyone looking to design their ideal kitchen, providing inspiration, tips, and affordable options to make dream kitchens a reality.

The new brochure includes ideas and inspiration and contains all the details and stunning images of new and existing kitchen collections, it contains expert information on kitchen trends, with the latest colours, decors, sustainable materials and textured finishes. To help homeowners begin their dream kitchen journey, Josie Medved, Design Manager for Symphony Group, has the following simple 5-step guide to creating a dream kitchen:

1 Consider Layout

A kitchen can be designed to precisely suit your needs. Which elements are fixed such as doors and windows? What elements would you like to include such as appliances, clever storage and an island or breakfast bar to socialise? A central island is such a practical and functional addition to the kitchen and, as the brand-new Brooklyn J-pull handle kitchen shows, it can be used for food prep, cooking, storage, dining and socialising while also acting as a room divider to create distinct zones within a space. Perfect for open-plan kitchens, an island is a must-have for multifunctional use.

2 Create a Wish List

A wish list is a good place to start your dream kitchen journey. It provides useful details of your lifestyle, cooking habits and storage requirements, ready for your kitchen designer. Consider what does and doesn’t work in your existing kitchen. Do you have enough storage and is it positioned where it should be? Are there any appliances that you’d like to include in your new space – coffee machine, warming drawer, steam oven, combination microwave, single or double oven, induction hob, downdraft extractor. Think about what meals you like to cook and what could make life simpler. Your wish list can also include the latest trend-setting colours – Sage is set to be big news for cabinetry in 2025 while also being a timeless tone, so it will look good for years to come. Symphony’s Langdale kitchen in Sage and Chalk White shows off the subtle woodgrain texture beautifully.

3 Choose a Style

Decide upon the style of cabinetry and handles. Symphony’s designs are available in a range of styles, colours and finishes, so there’s something for all tastes to suit all styles of home. Do you want a kitchen that’s in keeping with the period of your home or would you prefer a contrasting effect? Many Victorian and Edwardian properties look stunning with sleek handleless cabinetry while traditional kitchens can add character to modern new-builds. Symphony’s New England design is a beautiful in-frame door that can be given a modern update with new Paint to Order colours Willow and Caramel.
