"History repeats itself! we had a marvellous kitchen designed and installed by Matthew Marsden 22 years ago. For our new build house, we had no hesitation to return to Mathew Marsden Furniture for a modern kitchen and utility room."
- Susan & Tino
22 Years in the Making
After moving back to the UK from Italy, our client came back to us, 22 years after we designed their first kitchen. We’re proud to see so many of our clients return to us time and time again, whether for a different space, a new home or a completely new chapter in life. Projects like this remind us exactly why we love what we do.
Meaningful Details
The engraved range mantle is a focal point in this kitchen, adding a detail that’s deeply personal. Our engraving service is a favourite among clients who want to bring an extra layer of meaning to their bespoke space. We engraved a much-loved family phrase — “il cuoco è il capo” (“the cook is the boss”) — carefully crafting the accent over the “è” by deepening the banding in the mantle itself.
In addition, Jennifer designed tall cabinetry with glass doors to proudly display treasured pieces and family keepsakes. Finally, we incorporated a dedicated bookshelf within the island, creating the perfect home for the client’s collection of authentic Italian cookbooks.
A Perfect Pair
Having worked with us before, Susan and Tino already knew the quality craftsmanship behind our Classic range. However, after visiting our showroom, they were drawn to something different… the contemporary look of our new 1929 range. More specifically, the striking Forge materials featured in our latest display.
Having designed their first kitchen, Jennifer came up with the solution to combine the two contrasting styles. The finished result pairs our classic cabinetry with bolder, stone like materials from our 1929 range which makes the space feel fresh but timeless.
Intentional Design
To mirror the clean, architectural lines of our 1929 range, Jennifer designed the space predominantly handleless (with only a small number of appliance pulls where needed). Our push-to-open cabinetry keeps the look uninterrupted, enhancing the contemporary feel.
A discreet double socket was integrated into the island for convenient charging. Finally, integrated spotlights beneath cabinetry offer practical task lighting by day and a warm, atmospheric glow by night.
Built for Modern Living
The worktops are Emporar Gold from Granite Tops UK. As a quartz surface, they offer the beauty of natural stone with added durability. With a high resistance to stains and scratches, they are ideal for everyday living.
The kitchen is completed with a double Shaker butler’s sink from Shaws of Darwen and a Quooker Fusion Round Classic tap in stainless steel for instant boiling water. A Westin extractor hood sits above, while appliances from Fisher & Paykel and Neff — including an American fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and wine fridge — ensure the space performs as beautifully as it looks.

"In addition to the kitchen, the amazing team also designed and installed our home office, his and her dressing rooms, and a laundry room – each space is equally as impressive and beautifully crafted. "
- Julia, Client
Designed Around You
Your dressing room is a deeply personal space and should be designed around your everyday routine. From the way you live, dress and move, our dressing rooms are designed to feel intuitive and indulgent.
Bespoke design allows us to accomodate the pieces that matter most. From intelligent internal layouts to material choice and lighting, every dressing room we design is built around you.
How to Create a Luxurious Dressing Room
To feel luxurious, a dressing room should be designed with intention, it shouldn’t be designed in excess. Key elements of a luxurious dressing room include:
- -Thoughtfully zoned storage
- -High-quality materials
- -Integrated, layered lighting
- -A future proof layout
- -Quality craftsmanship
Start With Your Existing Wardrobe
Before deciding the finish or layout of your new dressing room, look at what you already own. A bespoke dressing room should solve problems, not create new ones. Ask yourself:
- -Where does your current storage fall short?
- -Do you struggle with overcrowded rails or inaccessible shelving?
- -Are there specific items you struggle to store properly?
His & Hers
As part of a whole-house project, we were commissioned to design and manufacture two bespoke dressing rooms. Both dressing rooms were tailored to the individual needs of the homeowners while maintaining a cohesive design style.
Both spaces were created in our 1929 Range, using our distinctive Strata materials. Clever lighting was incorporated to accentuate the tonal variation and surface detail of the finishes, creating a quiet, understated sense of luxury.
Testimonial
“In addition to the kitchen, the amazing team also designed and installed our home office, his and her dressing rooms, and a laundry room – each space is equally as impressive and beautifully crafted. Every room combines practicality with stunning design, making our home feel truly elevated.
Beyond the outstanding workmanship, all of the team team were an absolute pleasure to work with, especially our very talented designers, Jennifer and Holly – attentive, creative, and always willing to go the extra mile. Their work has transformed the way we live in our home, and we cannot recommend Matthew Marsdens highly enough.”

"Absolutely thrilled with my new dream kitchen! To say it fills my heart with happiness and brings a smile to my face every time I walk in is an understatement — and we have Matthew Marsden Furniture to thank for that.
From the initial design right through to the fitting and every step in between, the whole experience exceeded our expectations." -Melanie
Timeless Design
This kitchen is designed in our Billinge Hall range, which is part of our classic collection. The range takes its name from a Marsden family farmhouse and that influence can be felt in the proportions and detailing throughout the space. What sets Billinge Hall apart from our other classic ranges is the horizontal cotmould detail on the rail, a subtle feature that adds depth and definition while keeping the overall look calm and timeless. The result is a beautiful kitchen designed to stand the test of time rather than following trends.
A Seamless Walk-in Pantry
In an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, flow is essential. To maintain a sense of continuity, the same rich green cabinetry used in the kitchen extends into the walk-in pantry, allowing the space to feel connected rather than separate. Thoughtfully designed to support everyday living, the pantry provides generous, concealed storage while keeping the main kitchen calm.
Functional Features
Functionality has been designed into every corner of this kitchen. The bi-fold breakfast cabinet houses small appliances such as the toaster and microwave, keeping the workspace uncluttered. Pull-out storage is discreetly built into the mantel legs, offering convenient access to spices while cooking. Finally, the mirrored splashback not only completes the space but also cleverly disguises any cooking splashes.
Built for Modern Family Living
The stunning worktops are Calacatta Gold, a timeless choice from Granite Tops UK, ensuring the overall look of the kitchen is bright and clean while remaining durable enough for busy family life.
The kitchen is complete with appliances from Fisher & Paykel, Neff and Perrin & Rowe.

This project is for a lovely couple with two young children. They live busy lives, balancing work, family and their shared passion for health and fitness. The kitchen is truly the heart of their home - a space for cooking fresh, nutritious meals, entertaining friends and spending time together as a family.
Contrasting Design Styles
Aesthetically, the couple had different tastes. One preferred a traditional style, whereas the other leaned towards a more contemporary look. The final design brings these together seamlessly, respecting the character of the original house while complementing the modern extension. Classic painted cabinetry is balanced with subtle contemporary details, creating a kitchen that feels cohesive, considered and perfectly suited to both tastes.
Unique Design Features
Several bespoke features give this space its identity, most notably the wave wall and the oak “goalpost” framing the cooking area. Inspired by a design the clients admired in the Lake District, the wave wall introduces texture and movement without overpowering the room. Extensive research and careful sourcing ensured the cladding felt special and unique. The oak goalpost adds warmth to the layout, anchoring the space and subtly zoning the kitchen within the open-plan setting.
Discreet Storage
Designed for busy family life, the kitchen also includes a walk-in pantry tucked neatly out of sight with “secret doors”. This additional space houses smaller appliances, extra storage and a second oven, making it invaluable when entertaining or cooking for larger gatherings. It allows the main kitchen to remain calm and clutter-free, while still offering the practicality needed for everyday use.
Premium Appliances
Premium appliances were a key part of the brief, chosen to complement the bespoke furniture and support the clients’ lifestyle. The clients were set on Gaggenau, and we went the extra mile to source and coordinate the appliances directly to ensure every detail was right. This commitment not only delivered exactly what the clients wanted, but also marked the beginning of our partnership with the brand.
Special Thanks to Inside Studio
Special thanks to the team at Inside Studio for collaborating with us on this whole-house project. It’s been a pleasure working together to bring this space to life and this kitchen is just the beginning! We can’t wait to share the rest of the rooms.

A Dream Kitchen for a Growing Family
This project began with a lovely couple renovating their beautiful farmhouse for life with their three young children. They envisioned a kitchen that could keep up with their busy family life while embracing a modern, industrial aesthetic.
Our new 1929 Range was the perfect fit. With its Scandinavian-inspired simplicity and crisp, clean lines, it offered the modern aesthetic our clients were looking for while providing the durability and functionality needed for everyday family life.
Materials That Tell a Story
To achieve the industrial farmhouse look, we combined two contrasting materials from our 1929 collection. The first material was from the Forge design family, capturing the rugged character of natural stone with striking realism. The second, Strata, is crafted from real wood veneers, offering a quiet elegance and rich, natural warmth. To finish the space, Holly, incorporated a unique glass backsplash from Rough Old Glass.
Storage was a priority. With young children in the home, thoughtful planning ensured practicality and safety. Generous cabinetry runs throughout, with additional storage placed higher up, including top boxes above the extractor, perfect for keeping delicate or less-used items safely out of reach.
A Place to Gather
The clients wanted a place that didn’t feel cold for the family to gather without losing the modern aesthetic. Holly achieved this by introducing a warm wood feature to the island, creating a comfortable place to sit. With waterfall edges, the island maintained the clean, contemporary lines central to the brief and true to the 1929 Range.
Testimonial
“After five years of renovating our home, the kitchen was the final piece that would make our dream home complete. Choosing where to get our kitchen from was not a decision we took lightly, but from the moment we stepped into the Matthew Marsden showroom, we knew we’d made the right choice. From the very first design meeting to the final installation, the whole experience was exceptional. The team took the time to truly understand how we wanted the space to look—incorporating an industrial farmhouse feel with a sleek, modern, yet timeless style. The 1929 range was perfect for this: the stone-like texture of the cabinets adds a contemporary edge, while the timber finish brings warmth and character. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding — every finish feels premium, and the layout works perfectly for our family. It’s completely transformed the heart of our home, and we genuinely enjoy spending time here every day. The space is not only beautiful but also highly functional, and we’ve had countless compliments from friends and family. We would recommend Matthew Marsden’s Kitchens without hesitation.”

"From the very first consultation (with afternoon tea!) to the final finishing touches, the whole process was seamless, professional and genuinely enjoyable. The craftsmanship is second to none – every detail has been carefully thought through and beautifully executed"
- Julia, Client
His & Hers
As part of this whole-house project, we created two beautifully detailed dressing rooms using our new 1929 Range. Crafted with our Strata materials, each space is brought to life through carefully considered lighting that highlights the texture, depth and tone of the finishes, adding a quiet sense of luxury throughout.
A Kitchen That Has It All
This kitchen brings together beautiful design and everyday practicality in a way that feels effortless. Designed in a classic Shaker style but brought to life with rich, dark finishes, it feels both timeless and dramatic. Clever storage is built into every corner, from the two tall larders framing the oven to the full-height cabinetry around the fridge. Added at the client’s request, the island features an integrated trough, perfect for chilling wine or keeping drinks on hand when entertaining. Finished with luxurious quartz worktops and fitted with top-of-the-line appliances from Sub Zero & Wolf, Fisher & Paykel and Westin, this kitchen is made to impress and built to perform.
A Sophisticated Study
This sophisticated study is carefully designed to inspire focus. The expansive desk space provides both comfort and functionality, while the dark wood finishes bring a sense of timeless luxury. Clever lighting highlights every detail from the from the stunning shelves that elegantly display personal treasures to the rich cabinetry that grounds the room in style. The bold, moody tones create an atmosphere perfect for deep concentration or creative thinking.
A Room That Works for the Whole Family
The boot room/utility has been designed as a truly practical yet welcoming space. It carries the same cabinetry and colour palette as the kitchen, giving a sense of continuity throughout the home. There’s generous storage for coats, boots and everyday essentials, and a dedicated dog parlour adds a clever, functional touch for family life.
A Hardworking Space
Our designers transformed this narrow laundry room into a space that is as stylish as it is hardworking. Every inch has been maximised with smart storage solutions that keep essentials neatly tucked away, while the design elevates the room far beyond the ordinary. Sleek finishes and a refined layout bring a sense of calm and order, proving that even the most functional spaces in the home can be both beautiful and practical. This laundry is a perfect example of how clever design can turn an everyday task into an experience of ease and style.
Testimonial
“We are absolutely thrilled with our new bespoke handmade kitchen, boot room and pantry from Matthew Marsdens.

As the days become shorter and the air turns crisp, autumn is the perfect time to embrace the warmth and comfort of your kitchen. To help you make the most of the season, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite bespoke kitchen features worth considering for your home this autumn.
Everything to Hand
A pantry cupboard is the perfect spot to keep all of your comfort essentials neatly stored and ready to go, from biscuits and crisps for family movie nights to spices and dry goods for hearty seasonal recipes. A well-designed pantry doesn’t just store your essentials, it transforms your kitchen into a space full of charm and character.
Inviting Ambience with Clever Lighting
As autumn evenings draw in earlier, the right lighting can make all the difference in your kitchen. Soft, ambient glows create a cosy atmosphere for quiet nights in, while still giving you the clarity you need for cooking. Creating a space that feels both comforting and practical, ready for whatever the season brings.
A Space That Brings Everyone Together
A spacious kitchen island is at the heart of autumn life, perfect for cooking meals, sharing warm drinks or simply spending time with family. From homework sessions to seasonal gatherings, it’s a space that brings everyone together.
Cosy Convenience with a Quooker Tap
With instant access to boiling water, it cuts out the wait for a kettle and makes everything from brewing a quick cup of tea on a crisp autumn evening to prepping vegetables effortless. Beyond boiling, it also offers chilled, sparkling and filtered water options, making it a smart, space-saving upgrade.
Keep Your Furry Friends Close
As temperatures drop, your kitchen becomes a warm, welcoming space for the whole family, including your furry companions. A dedicated dog or cat bed in a quiet corner lets them snuggle up nearby while you cook, chat or enjoy a drink. It’s a simple touch that keeps them close, comfortable and part of everyday life.
Tidy Comforts Within Reach
With the cold, dark evenings, there’s nothing better than having your favourite blankets, slippers and dressing gowns close to hand. Discreet storage solutions such as under seating keep these autumn essentials easily accessible while keeping clutter out of sight.
Time to Bring Your Dream Kitchen to Life
As the season changes, thoughtful touches in your kitchen can make all the difference. By incorporating a few thoughtful features, you can create a space that’s both practical and inviting.

"With nearly a century of experience in luxury kitchen design, the new 1929 collection carries our legacy of bespoke, quality craftsmanship into the modern day." - Matthew Marsden, Head Designer & Company Founder
*The original Marsden shopfront in Eccleston, 1929.
Introduction
A bold new chapter in our design story, the 1929 range is born from modern Scandinavian influence. Designed for those who appreciate clean lines and understated elegance, this collection offers a refined, contemporary aesthetic with a luxurious edge.
Bringing together innovative materials and finishes sourced from leading suppliers around the world, the 1929 range is crafted using our signature handmade techniques. Subtle lighting and varied textures are used throughout to create depth, contrast and visual interest, all while preserving the sleek, minimalist look.
The collection is anchored by three carefully curated design families: Tide, Strata and Forge. Chosen for their distinctive character and exceptional quality, these elements can be used individually or combined to create a completely new concept in kitchen design.
Forge
Raw Beauty. Refined Drama. Explore our carefully curated collection of Italian-designed surfaces, redefined through the lens of modern luxury, the clean lines of contemporary minimalism and the understated elegance of Scandinavian design.
These surfaces capture the depth and character of natural stone with striking realism, creating a bold and architectural focal point in any space.
Paired with clever lighting, these finishes reveal subtle shifts in texture and tone, creating a living surface that responds to its environment.
Combine with rich timber elements for a warm, organic aesthetic that evokes nature at its most refined. Or, for a bolder statement, contrast with our Classic range to craft a commanding centrepiece.
Whether understated or dramatic, these surfaces radiate a quiet, confident luxury.
Strata
Design that breathes warmth. Crafted from real wood, this collection showcases the quiet elegance and rich character of natural veneers. Each piece is thoughtfully selected and responsibly sourced, bringing authenticity and depth to contemporary spaces.
Each surface in our Strata collection is treated with a specialised oil system designed to preserve the natural texture and appearance of the timber.
Unlike conventional finishes, our advanced formula bonds directly to the wood’s surface fibres.The result is a durable, breathable finish that feels as authentic as it looks.
Pair with the soft matte texture of our Tide cabinet doors or create a striking focal point like a standalone island with our Classic furniture range.
Tide
A finish that feels as good as it looks. A beautiful selection of matte finishes, offering rich, nuanced colour and an exceptionally smooth, tactile surface. Designed to meet the demands of modern living, combining refined aesthetics with everyday durability.
Designed to elevate both look and feel, each finish is enhanced with advanced lacquer technology that resists fingerprints, repels bacteria and ensures lasting durability.
These finishes lend themselves beautifully to a range of design expressions, from clean handleless cabinetry to the subtle accent of satin or brushed brass pulls.
Their versatility pairs effortlessly with our Culbeck Brook Classic glass doors with extra narrow styles and rails. Complete the look with deep-stained cabinetry and concealed lighting for a modern, luxurious aesthetic.
#UnmistakablyMatthewMarsden
Whether you’re inspired by the raw sophistication of Forge, the natural fluidity of Tide or the layered elegance of Strata, the 1929 range offers the flexibility to design a kitchen that’s truly your own.

“The biggest compliment we can be given is to be invited back into your home time and again. We love nothing more than extending our craft to new spaces and creating more bespoke designs. It’s a chance to let our talents flourish on your behalf” - Matthew Marsden, Head Designer & Founder
Our Story Often Begins in the Kitchen, but It Rarely Ends There
What starts as a conversation about cabinetry and layout often grows into something much bigger. Once clients see how considered design and beautiful craftsmanship can elevate one space, it’s only natural to start imagining the possibilities elsewhere. That’s how our work has found its way into boot rooms, bedrooms, libraries, dressing rooms and even entire homes.
Over the years, many of our long-standing client relationships have evolved in exactly this way, from one room to the next and sometimes, from one home to another. In fact, for some clients, we’ve become a trusted part of every house move, helping shape each new space into something personal.
While the Room May Change, Our Approach Remains the Same
Whether we’re designing a kitchen or a study, we use the same exacting craftsmanship, carefully sourced materials and thoughtful detailing. Practicality and elegance go hand-in-hand, always tailored to how you live and always designed to last.
Every space we create is unique, shaped by your needs, your taste and the character of your home. We take time to understand not just how a room looks but how it should feel and function. That might mean a quiet reading nook, a boot room built for family life or wardrobes designed around your morning routine.
Thinking Beyond the Kitchen?
Just like in the kitchen, our team manages every detail from the first sketches to the final installation. We’re hands-on, meticulous and genuinely passionate about creating something meaningful.
We’d love to help. Whether you’re planning one special room or looking to reimagine your whole home, get in touch to see how we can bring your vision to life.
