Luxury Kitchens Designed, Built and Fitted in Oxfordshire
Luxury Kitchens in Oxfordshire
At Papilio, we approach our bespoke kitchens in Oxfordshire as a true blank canvas. We never use preset templates or designs. We always study your home’s architecture, lifestyle, and interests before we begin a project.
Oxfordshire is a scenic county, and we have designed multiple kitchens for our clients in the Cotswolds. Several of these projects are in manor houses where period features are a consideration and the inspiration for our designs. We’ve designed Scandinavian kitchens in manor houses and country kitchens in farmhouses, making smart material choices that harmonise with the surroundings.
Drawing on our extensive knowledge and experience in selecting the latest technologies and the finest materials, we can create exceptional cabinetry tailored to you. We are advocates of sustainability, and all our kitchens are carefully crafted by hand using traditional cabinet-making skills and are selected from the finest, responsibly sourced materials and finishes.
Kitchen Design in Oxfordshire
At Papillio, every aspect of our bespoke kitchen in Oxfordshire is considered. From layout solutions that create hidden storage to bespoke kitchen islands, and selecting beautiful, not-on-the-high-street hardware or lighting. We can advise on the entire project and work with architects and contractors to create the perfect designer kitchen. As luxury kitchen designers, we are experts in kitchen worktops, cabinetry and kitchen appliances. Our clients can benefit from our years of industry experience.
Popular Kitchen Styles in Oxfordshire
For our bespoke kitchens in Oxfordshire, we never have preconceived ideas. We approach each new kitchen project with fresh eyes and an open mind. Because we like to work with our clients in a collaborative way, we listen and learn before we design.
Oxfordshire is a county blessed with classic architecture and picturesque countryside. Popular kitchen styles include manor, natural, and country styles. But in true Papilio transformative fashion, we always approach our bespoke kitchen projects with innovation, functionality and our client’s needs at the heart.
The Cotswolds Manor House Kitchen is a fine example of a multifaceted project that went beyond the fundamentals. The bespoke kitchen in Oxfordshire is housed in a grand 17th-century Grade II-listed stone manor house. With elements dating to 1640, including period features such as inglenooks, stone fireplaces, mullion windows, exposed timbers, flagstone floors, and wooden panelled window seats. The Georgian kitchen style needed to be respectful to the property’s architecture. We designed a central focus: a bespoke island with a marble surface, hand-turned walnut leg detail, and a large drawer and pot rail. We also designed all the cabinetry to accommodate the ideal height for the foodie of the house. We have disguised some of the appliances within handmade cabinetry, in a stunning, bespoke, hand-antiqued walnut shroud. For the handmade display cabinets, we incorporated sliding glazed doors to maximise space and flow. The added touches included a bespoke walk-in pantry with a Sub-Zero & Wolf wine store and ancillary storage, as well as a washing machine and dryer. We even designed a pet station for their treasured canine, complete with a shower/sink and a walnut cabinet.
