Using seven key design principals to achieve the look, our kitchen designers will work with you to plan this style into your home.

Strong, prominent lines, a continuous flow of edges and an uncluttered and organised feel can help make your beautiful Linear kitchen functional. Everything is easily accessible yet discretely hidden away.

Incorporating the Linear look into your design ensures that you’re creating a kitchen that is totally individual to you and your family’s needs, whilst achieving an effortlessly stylish look .

LINEAR CORNERS

Corner posts create a floating effect as the lines of half-height drawers blend around the entire island or worktop corner.

LIGHTING

Follow the horizontal lines of your worktops and plinths with LED strip lights to really bring the Linear style alive.

HORIZONTAL LINES

By far the most important element in creating the Linear style in your kitchen. These lines can be created using metallic profiles, runs of drawers and drawer-effect frontals.

VERTICAL LINES

Create vertical lines with banks of towers and draw the eye up adding height to your room. Enhance with our range of complementing metallic profiles.

HALF-HEIGHT UNITS & SHELVING

Mix glazed and solid half-height wall units with open shelving, allowing for more storage and that all important styling.

THIN WORKTOPS

Thin, solid worktops cut flush with the frontal and elevated by a flash of profile trim ensure a sleek and minimalist look.

HANDLES

By sitting thin worktops flush to the frontals, you can choose the handleless or integrated handle look. You can also perfect the Linear look with slimline, trim style handles.

Just because you are working with a small space does not mean you have to compromise on style or functionality. Feature impact lighting in glass fronted cabinets or on open shelving and style these with a pop of personality and colour. Prominent lines draw the eye, creating the illusion of a bigger kitchen whilst metallic trim and minimalist handles retain the Linear design.

Creating an open plan kitchen allows you and your builder to get really creative. The Linear trend is a perfect fit as it allows functional solutions that flow from the kitchen through to further living areas. Integrating a TV stand into the wall and adding bespoke wall storage makes this look unique to you.

An island with a wraparound style creates a ‘floating’ effect. Corner posts give an infinity feel as the continuous lines of half-height, handleless drawers blend around the entire

island.

Placing the spotlight firmly on letting your personality shine through, the Linear look in an L shaped kitchen provides plenty of space for styling to suit you.

Making use of the space is key. Runs of cabinets and floor to ceiling towers grow your kitchens space. Warm lighting is used to enrich those Linear lines and open shelving can show off all

the things that your family treasures.

Desirability begins with details. The Linear look was born out of the call for a sleek, modern and minimal look paired with enhanced-functionality and a good dose of personality. The result is a stunning feature orientated trend, eye-catching is an understatement. Your new kitchen will work harder for you than ever before and have the desirability we are all looking for in our homes.

When planning your new kitchen it’s important to make sure the details are right from the start. That is why we offer a free kitchen design and home survey service. Working with your builder, our expert designers will visit your home to plan a Linear style kitchen which is perfect for your family’s needs. They will then supply a design which incorporates all your favourite Linear features where you can make amends until you are completely happy with your new Linear kitchen design.

INTEGRATED APPLIANCESIntegrated appliances ensure there’s no sacrificing style for practicality. Hide away your fridge, washing machine and dishwasher behind a solid door, or ask your builder to plate two drawer frontals together so you can keep the Linear look.

CORNER P OSTSDon’t let corners spoil the continuous flow of Linear lines. Our corner posts cleverly ensure uninterrupted lines whether you are fitting them on the end of a bank of cabinets or creating a feature island.

WORKTOPSThin worktops don’t just look beautiful but are functional too. They allow for the use of truly handleless drawers, so there are no interruptions in your sleek drawer lines. Try a solid quartz worktop, allowing for drainer grooves to be indented. This means your builder can also install an undermount sink, enhancing those never-ending Linear lines.

PLINTHS & PROFILESOur metallic plinths and profiles provide a stunning way to highlight the vertical and horizontal lines of Linear. Available in copper, brass, aluminium and a matt black, your kitchen designer can plan these into your kitchen to provide a flash of luxurious colour and interest.

STORAGEThe Linear trend allows for more clever storage in your kitchen than ever before. The use of wide, doubled up drawers gives the greatest options for stowing away all your pots, pans and crockery. Glass fronted and solid half-height wall cabinets are ideal for mugs and glasses. Whilst open shelving can ingeniously both show off and store your carefully selected kitchen accessories.

LIGHTINGA smart use of lighting will not only complete your Linear kitchen, but it’s also practical. Install retro-fit lighting in drawers and cabinets and the lights will only come on when they are open. LED strip lighting can create a beautiful, warm glow that is ideal for entertaining.
