3 Kitchens I passionately believe that kitchens are the most important space in any house. It s where life happens - where families eat and play, friends talk, good news is celebrated, memories are made and of course, food is prepared and shared. At Richard Baker Furniture, my team and I pride ourselves on creating the perfect backdrop for the way you live. We design everything with your unique lifestyle at the forefront of all that we do. We are dedicated to producing the finest hand-made kitchens with unbeatable attention to detail, exquisite craftsmanship and using materials of the highest quality, whilst remaining realistically priced. Our twist concept has evolved because we appreciate that all our customers are individuals and we would like to encourage you to bring some kind of personal element that is special to you into your new kitchen design. Your twist for example may take the form of selecting a particular paint colour for the interior of a cabinet or by selecting your drawer insert or lining colour, maybe a table leg style, for example. We will endeavour to help bring your new kitchen in line with you and your lifestyle and create a beautiful room that is functional and will undoubtedly stand the test of time. How do you use your kitchen? What are your essential must haves? What styles or colours inspire you? We look forward to meeting you soon. Richard Baker

7 the hampton Shallow cabinets 100mm The Hampton kitchen is based on the scale of the island which has unusual thicker square columns designed with classic profiles. The larder style cupboards reach the ceiling and provide very generous storage solutions. A large composite worktop adds drama. The contemporary feel is enhanced by the chrome handles, cornice detail and the colour of the units which are shown here in an atmospheric grey.

10 the edwardian Window The Edwardian is a hugely popular design that unites a classic English feel with elements of fun (such as the individual lollipop cupboard and vivid accent colours) with a robust dining area ideal for a young family, which can be easily transformed into a sophisticated space for entertaining. Classic English framed doors suit the period of the house and the painted panelled wall gives a sense that the room has always been there.

15 the metro Our Metro design is all about clean lines and seamless furniture. Bright colours and suspended shelving add interest but not the fuss. Painted cabinets and a walnut ribbed island create high impact. The interior of the glass fronted walnut display cabinet is also painted and the drawers are lined with green faux leather.

18 the cubicon Magic C Gas The Cubicon kitchen features crown cut walnut cabinets which provides a beautiful contrast with the richly coloured purple glass. The prepping island has a wall of handleless drawers giving a sleek appearance, each one lined in a practical vinyl fabric. The island work top is silestone and is a magnificent centre piece to this kitchen. The two pull out larders provide symmetry, each door has vertical matching grain and long stainless steel bar handles.

23 the deco The Deco kitchen is elegant, decorative and practical featuring curves and panels taken from this period. Ample storage is provided by the ceiling height glass deco display cabinet, large panelled cupboards and the circular coffee bar housing a 360 degree carousel. A splash of pink adds an element of fun without overpowering the senses.

24 the twist Your kitchen is a long term investment which is why Richard Baker Furniture design classic kitchens which stand the test of time. Keep the details classic and choose a colour or a feature door to add that final twist. Our designs will maximise the available space so your kitchen will compliment your home and fulfil your dreams.

28 the deco A kitchen that is big and bold, a popular and classic style. A combination of rich walnut textures and traditional deco details, for example, the stepped cornice curving around the extractor hood. The grand central island is set off magnificently by the turned columns at each corner. We have used a cross matched walnut veneer on the larder and refrigeration unit.

33 the professional The Edwardian design reflects all that is comforting about a kitchen, combining the needs of a consummate professional and his family. The softer lines of the surrounding kitchen and funky aubergine colours help to balance out the substantial range cooker and blend together the various functions of the room. Honed Zimbabwean black granite and handmade handles (based on the gear stick of a sports car) and a touch of luxury and real personality. Kitchen designed for Gordon Ramsay and featured on the F word

36 the fusion Modernism and comfort were important considerations here and the design was based on influences from the North Atlantic coast and elements of Asian culture. Whilst the look is simple, we have maintained functionality. The units are made from rift-cut European oak which has been whitewashed then limed and hand lacquered to ensure a perfect finish. A full height drinks cabinet is lit internally, mirror backed and lined with burr oak. Touch latch drawers create a slick and stylish space.

41 the brunswick A sociable living and kitchen space which is bright and light and where symmetry plays a large part. Sleek painted cupboards using a lay-on design all have an oak lining. The kitchen island has a square edged profile panel in keeping with the period of the property. Opaque glass is used on the feature panels of the wall cabinets, pale enough to throw light into the kitchen but still providing a solid door front to hide stored items. The splash back is a glazed ceramic brick tile and the worktop is cashmere white granite.

44 the edwardian - with a sparkle Designed with doors and drawers in an Edwardian style, we introduced a decorative Lollipop design to the wall cabinets and crockery cupboard. The bespoke round island has a leather finish worktop and beautifully tapered legs. The island stools are upholstered in a soft velvet. The French cooker hood houses an integrated extractor and has a dramatic feel centering on a mirrored mosaic wall. The buttoned banquette seating and matching ottoman stools are upholstered in a soft sheen fabric and can also be used as useful storage options.
