Modern kitchens, explained.
What makes a kitchen modern
A modern kitchen is built around the slab door: a flat front with no frame, panel or moulding. It puts the focus on colour and texture, and it works with almost any handle, from slim bar pulls to knurled knobs, or with a handleless rail. Slab kitchens suit open-plan living spaces, new builds and extensions, and they make a small kitchen feel tidy and uncluttered.
Matt, woodgrain or gloss
Super-matt and soft-touch finishes are the most popular modern look, with a velvety feel that resists fingerprints. Woodgrain slabs bring warmth, and pair well with painted doors for a two-tone kitchen. Gloss doors reflect light and suit smaller or darker rooms. Every modern kitchen we sell arrives rigid, with the doors fitted and the cabinets colour-coordinated where the range allows.
Handles and worktops
Long bar handles in matt black, brushed brass or stainless steel give a modern kitchen its character, or choose a handleless rail for the cleanest look. Quartz and compact laminate worktops suit the crisp lines; an oak worktop or island softens a darker colour.

Modern kitchens: common questions.
What is a slab kitchen?
A slab kitchen has completely flat doors with no frame or panel. It is the basis of most modern kitchens and can have handles or a handleless rail.
Matt or gloss for a modern kitchen?
Matt and super-matt finishes are calm, contemporary and good at hiding fingerprints. Gloss reflects light, so it suits smaller or darker rooms.
Which worktops suit a modern kitchen?
Quartz, compact laminate and thin-edge worktops keep the clean lines. A timber worktop or island warms up a matt slab kitchen.
Which handles suit a modern kitchen?
Long bar handles, slim edge pulls and knurled knobs all work well. For the cleanest look, choose a handleless range instead.
How much does a modern kitchen cost?
