A new kitchen will often need new equipment and we provide advice on the best appliances to complete your kitchen project. Choosing the right appliances can be a daunting task, there is so much to choose from and making the right decision about size, quality, budget and style are important. The same can be said for the sink and tap and with boiling hot water taps increasingly commonplace making the right choice and getting the right installation is essential.

Whichever kitchen you go for the worktops should never be forgotten and often provide the WOW factor we all seek. Interior design and aesthetic considerations do not always rule over the practical needs of the kitchen. An ability to provide years of pristine service in the arduos conditions of a typical kitchen means choosing the right material is absolutely key. Luckily nowadays there is plenty of choice, from the huge variety of natural materials like wood andgranite through to advanced man-made quartz, Corian and stainless steel.

The use of coloured glass in the home has grown in recent years and we now create stunning glass panels up to 3.6 metres in length in unlimited colours and neutral shades. Finishes include polished, textured, matt along with some unusual patterns such as brick. All our glass carries a ten year guarantee and is toughened and fully heatproof, not to be confused with the cheaper products we often see that crack or blister when placed near a heat source. We offer an unrivalled range of standard colours in addition to a bespoke colour service, so if you need to match a fabric or some other colour theme it's not a problem.

Many of our fitted kitchens are hand made using a traditional in-frame construction and in a variety of materials and woods. Often these kitchens are hand painted on site, typically using our favourite Farrow & Ball paint colours, but paint from any manufacturer can be used. There are so many key aspects to a successful kitchen project; design, build quality, materials, detailing and quality of installation are all equally important. Our job is to help steer you through the process and to ensure you have asked all the right questions before you take the plunge.

Owner of the business and designer Nick Filleul BSc. Building Surveying started his working life in London where he soon discovered a preference and flair for interior design. After several years in commercial and domestic remodelling he decided to move to Berkhamsted to set up Nicholas James Design Ltd. and later formed Nicholas James Kitchens as a specialisation. The business has flourished since 2002 and has a steady stream of successful local projects to its name. We maintain strong links to architects, builders and specialist trades in the area so whatever service a householder needs we can aid and assist in identifying solutions.
