1. What kitchen styles are suitable for Oxford homes?

Oxford kitchens come in all shapes and sizes. The style you choose should reflect the space you have and how you want to use it. Shaker kitchens are one of the most popular options across Oxfordshire. They suit both traditional and modern homes and come in neutral colours like white, grey, or cashmere.

For those who want a clean and contemporary look, flat slab or true handleless kitchens offer a minimal style that pairs well with open-plan interiors. These kitchens often feature integrated handles, smooth cabinet lines, and streamlined finishes.

A well-chosen kitchen style should work with the rest of your interior design while remaining practical. Whether you prefer the classic shaker look or something more modern, your layout can be built around your routine and the space available.

2. How do you start planning a kitchen layout?

A good kitchen layout makes the best use of the available space. Start by measuring all walls, doors, windows, and ceiling heights. Think about where you want appliances, storage, and worktops. Your goal is to design a space that’s easy to move around and suits how you cook and live.

Consider zones for food preparation, cooking, and storage. Even in small kitchens, you can add clever storage solutions such as pull-out larders or deep pan drawers. The layout should allow you to access everything without crossing over too much.

If you're unsure how to begin, our team can help translate your ideas into a workable plan. We also offer a free online kitchen planner, so you can experiment with designs at your own pace.

3. Is a showroom in Oxford necessary to buy a kitchen?

No. You can view kitchen styles, prices, specifications, and measurements directly on our website. Many customers in Oxford design and order their entire kitchen online. Every range is supported by clear product information, cabinet options, and downloadable brochures.

While we don’t have a showroom in Oxford, you’re welcome to visit our main kitchen showroom in Weston-Super-Mare. You’ll also have access to expert advice online or by phone at any stage of your kitchen project.

The full range of kitchen styles, cabinets, finishes, and accessories is available for you to browse without needing to leave home.

4. What defines a quality kitchen?

A quality kitchen isn’t just about appearance. It’s about strong cabinetry, reliable fittings, and a layout that’s designed to last. Our kitchens use durable components, soft-close hardware, and finishes chosen for long-term wear.

A good kitchen design also pays attention to the smaller details. Accurate unit sizing, a consistent colour match across accessories, and options to maximise storage all play a part. Quality also comes from the layout itself - a kitchen that works with your routine, not against it.

When planned properly, a new kitchen should feel well thought out from start to finish.

5. Are brochures and 3D images available?

Yes. You can download a brochure for each kitchen range directly from our site. These brochures include cabinet sizes, colour choices, and compatible accessories. If you’re working with our team, we can also provide 3D images of your layout.

These 3D visuals help you understand how your kitchen will look in your actual space. They also allow you to make layout or cabinet changes before ordering.

Every kitchen project can be visualised before purchase, making the process simpler and more accurate.

6. What help is available when creating a kitchen plan?

You can plan your kitchen layout yourself using our free online tools, or you can ask our team for help. If you’re unsure how to fit everything into your room, we can help optimise your layout based on your measurements.

Our team of expert designers can assist with:

• Creating a plan from scratch

• Turning your sketch into a basket

• Producing 3D images

• Recommending storage solutions

There’s no pressure to buy immediately. You can book a free appointment or request planning help when you’re ready.

7. How can your kitchen be personalised for the perfect fit?

Personalisation is about getting a layout that suits how you use your kitchen. That might mean more drawers, fewer wall units, taller larders, or corner solutions. Every kitchen we supply is built to order, so you can adjust unit sizes, colours, or accessories as needed.

Options include:

• Adding deep pan drawers for cookware

• Choosing open shelving for display areas

• Selecting worktops and finishes to suit your interior

A personalised kitchen doesn’t have to be expensive. It just needs to be planned properly.

8. What should I consider before arranging fitting or building work?

Better Kitchens supplies kitchens only - we do not carry out fitting or building work. If your project includes changes to plumbing, electrics, or structure, you’ll need to arrange those with your own fitter, electrician, or builder.

You should finalise your kitchen layout before any building work starts. This will avoid costly changes later and help your fitter complete the job more efficiently.

All supplied kitchens come with clear cabinet codes and packing lists for the tradesperson you choose.

9. What does a kitchen designer actually do?

A kitchen designer helps you turn your ideas into a working layout. They’ll consider how the space will be used, check your measurements, and offer practical suggestions based on their knowledge and experience.

Better Kitchens designers:

• Suggest storage solutions

• Help position appliances

• Create plans based on your measurements

• Provide 3D images before you place an order

This support can be especially useful if it’s your first time managing a kitchen project. It also helps avoid common planning errors that affect the final result.

10. How do I book a free appointment or get a quotation?

You can book a free appointment using our contact form or by calling the team directly. We’ll ask for your measurements and any ideas you already have.

Once we’ve created a plan, you’ll receive a full quotation, including cabinet breakdown and lead times. You’re free to make changes, pause, or proceed when you’re ready.

We don’t offer sales pressure or contracts. You can take your time and order when it suits your project schedule.
