Classic craftsmanship, built to last

At Central KBB, we design and install beautifully crafted kitchens that combine the classic elegance of Shaker styles with the modern functionality you’d expect from a custom designed kitchen. Whether you choose the simplicity of a classic Shaker door or the luxury of our in-frame styles, every kitchen is built to suit your home and lifestyle. Serving Tamworth, Lichfield, and Sutton Coldfield, we take pride in creating spaces that stand the test of time.

    Shaker Kitchens

    Simple, balanced, and endlessly versatile, Shaker kitchens remain a firm favourite. Their classic charm makes them ideal for both period and modern homes. Choose from a variety of painted finishes and handles to create a kitchen that feels warm, functional, and distinctly yours.

    In-Frame Kitchens

    Our in-frame kitchens are crafted with precision and care. Each solid cabinet door sits perfectly within its frame, creating a refined look for your home. Dovetail drawers, soft-close hinges, and a choice of painted, oak, or natural finishes complete the design. Built to bespoke sizes, these kitchens are perfect for those who value true craftsmanship.

  • Modern kitchen with gray cabinets, white marble countertops and backsplash, island with white and black accents, pendant lights, and decorative wall art.

    Handleless Shaker Kitchens

    For those who want the warmth of classic design with all the advantages of a true handless kitchen, why not consider a handleless Shaker? Smooth painted finishes and clean framing offer a fresh take on tradition, bringing together heritage and modernity in one elegant design.

  • Bright white kitchen with island, white cabinets, pendant lights, window, and various kitchen items.

    Mock In-Frame Kitchens

    Mock in-frame kitchens offer the charm and character of a true in-frame design without the higher price tag. Subtle detailing creates the look of a framed door. A classic style made accessible.

  • Minimalist kitchen with beige cabinets, white countertops, and open shelving; copper cookware, potted plants, candles, and artwork are displayed.

    Micro-Shaker Kitchens

    Micro-shakers bring a slimmer, more refined take on traditional shaker style. Their super-skinny frame and clean detailing create a chic, modern look, paired with bespoke painted finishes in your chosen colour. A perfect choice if you want classic character with a lighter, contemporary feel.
