Luxury Kitchen FAQs
Everything You Need to Know Before Starting Your Kitchen Project
1. What makes a kitchen ‘luxury’?
A luxury kitchen goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about exceptional design, premium materials, tailored functionality, and flawless craftsmanship. At Krieder, every kitchen is designed around how you live, using high-spec finishes, smart technology, and timeless style that elevates your entire home. Explore our Luxury Kitchens range for inspiration.
2. How much does a luxury kitchen cost in the UK?
Prices vary depending on size, materials, and level of customisation. Our projects typically start from £25,000, with fully bespoke designs reaching £100,000+. We work closely with each client to create kitchens that balance budget with long-term value. See our Kitchen Collections to explore options.
3. What’s the difference between a bespoke kitchen and a fitted kitchen?
Fitted kitchens are modular and mass-produced. Bespoke kitchens are designed and built from scratch — tailored to your exact layout, lifestyle, and preferences. Krieder specialises in true bespoke kitchens, not just customisable units. Learn more on our Kitchens page.
4. How long does it take to design and install a luxury kitchen?
The full process — from initial consultation to installation — typically takes 10–16 weeks. This allows time for design, planning, custom fabrication, and precise installation. Timelines may vary slightly for complex builds or outdoor kitchens.
5. Do you offer a full kitchen design and installation service?
Yes. We offer a complete end-to-end service: from concept and 3D design through to installation and aftercare. We also coordinate with architects, interior designers, and trades where required. Learn more about our process on the Kitchens page.
6. Can I customise every element of my kitchen?
Absolutely. From cabinet finishes to worktops, lighting, storage, and appliances — every part of your Krieder kitchen is made to suit your space and your style. Nothing is off the shelf. View finish options on our Luxury Kitchens page.
7. Which worktop materials are best for a luxury kitchen?
We recommend high-performance materials like porcelain, quartz, granite, and sintered stone. These offer durability, heat resistance, and a refined appearance — with options that complement both modern and traditional kitchens. You’ll find examples in our Kitchen Collections.
8. Are your kitchens suitable for open-plan living?
Yes. We specialise in designs that integrate beautifully with open-plan spaces — including kitchen islands, breakfast bars, hidden storage, and feature lighting that helps define the space without disrupting the flow. Explore examples in our Kitchen Collections.
9. Do you work with architects and interior designers?
We do. Whether you’re working with an architect or interior designer, or need help sourcing one, our team collaborates seamlessly to ensure the kitchen fits into the overall design vision of your home. For larger projects, explore our Commercial Contracts services.
10. Can you integrate smart appliances and home technology?
Yes. We regularly install smart ovens, connected lighting, sensor taps, and voice-controlled systems. We can also integrate appliances invisibly into cabinetry for a seamless look. Learn more under Kitchens.
11. What warranty do you offer?
All of our kitchens come with a 10-year structural warranty and manufacturer warranties on all appliances and hardware. We also provide aftercare support to ensure your kitchen performs for years to come. Details are available on our Kitchens page.
12. Do you offer at-home kitchen consultations?
Yes. We offer both showroom and in-home consultations. This allows us to understand your space, lighting, and lifestyle needs — helping us design a kitchen that fits naturally into your home. You can book a consultation online.
13. What’s included in a Krieder kitchen quote?
Our quotes include full design, detailed renders, materials, cabinetry, hardware, appliances, and installation. We’ll walk you through every cost upfront — no hidden extras. Learn more on our Kitchens page.
14. How do I get started with my kitchen project?
Start by booking a free design consultation. We’ll discuss your ideas, explore inspiration, and provide a clear next step. From there, we handle the design, timelines, and logistics. Contact us to begin.
15. Do you design outdoor kitchens as well?
Yes. Krieder specialises in both indoor and outdoor kitchens, with weatherproof materials and intelligent layouts designed for British climates. We offer fully bespoke outdoor cooking, dining, and entertaining spaces.
16. Are your kitchens suitable for period or listed properties?
Yes. We’ve designed luxury kitchens for townhouses, farmhouses, and listed buildings — balancing contemporary design with architectural integrity. We work sensitively within planning guidelines and heritage constraints. View examples in our Luxury Kitchens range.
17. What’s the typical lead time once I place an order?
Once your design is signed off, production and installation typically take 6–12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. We’ll provide a clear timeline from the outset. See more on our Kitchens page.
18. Do you install across the UK?
Yes, we cover projects throughout the UK. While we’re based in the South East, our installation teams work nationwide — from London to the Cotswolds and beyond. Visit our Luxury Kitchens section to learn more.
19. How do I maintain a luxury kitchen?
We provide care instructions specific to your chosen materials. Most surfaces are easy to maintain with mild cleaning products. We avoid designs that require constant upkeep — luxury should be effortless. For care tips, see our Kitchen Collections.
20. Why choose Krieder over a high street kitchen brand?
Because we don’t do cookie-cutter designs. At Krieder, you’ll get one-to-one service, architectural insight, and a kitchen that’s designed to enhance how you actually live — not just how it looks in a brochure. Discover our approach on the Kitchens page.
