In-Frame & Traditional Kitchens.
Six ranges of furniture-like joinery, painted to order.
An in-frame door sits inside its frame the way furniture used to be made — and the room knows it. This is the top of the traditional collection: Belgravia’s true in-frame joinery, and the in-frame effect ranges (Ellesmere, Winslow, Arrington, Jacobsen) that deliver the same deep, furniture-like shadow lines at a friendlier price. Jefferson’s raised centre panel completes the set for lovers of proper period character. All are painted with visible woodgrain or a smooth matte finish, in 32+ shades or your own colour match.

True in-frame vs in-frame effect.
On a true in-frame door — Belgravia in our collection — the door is set inside a joined frame, exactly the way a cabinetmaker would build a piece of furniture. You see it in the depth of the shadow line, and you feel it in the price: more timber, more machining, more hand work.
In-frame effect ranges achieve those same lines within the door itself. Ellesmere, Winslow, Arrington and Jacobsen give you the look and the character for noticeably less. Both routes are painted across the 32+ palette or colour matched, so the finish is identical — it’s the joinery underneath that differs.
Three things people ask us.
Is in-frame worth the extra cost?
A true in-frame door like Belgravia is built the way furniture is built, and the shadow lines show it. If the budget is tighter, the in-frame effect ranges — Ellesmere, Winslow, Arrington and Jacobsen — give you those same deep lines at a friendlier price. We quote both so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.
Can I mix in-frame with an island in another colour?
Yes — it’s one of the most popular things we do. Two-colour schemes are painted to order across the 32+ palette, so an island can carry a deeper shade while the perimeter runs pale. Bring us a colour you love and we’ll build the scheme around it.
How do painted finishes wear?
The collection’s painted finishes are factory-applied and hard-wearing, and they carry 5 and 15-year product warranties as standard. Wipe spills promptly with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution, avoid abrasives, and keep steam appliances from directly under wall units.
