Something a bit different this week – we decided to put up a couple of video clips that we took on site of a bespoke kitchen that we designed and built for a client in Buckinghamshire. We have had a YouTube channel for a while, and intend in the future to upload more clips of our work. Just as a …
Last days of summer – and we’re getting booked up
It’s been a pretty good summer here in the UK – lots of warm weather and sunshine, and not the usual washout that a British summer can often become. But as the holidays end, schools go back, and offices fill up again, people turn their thoughts towards the coming months. For many, that means thinking about home improvements – a …
Our latest bespoke kitchen – more detail
This is a refit and general redressing of a tired kitchen for clients that live up towards Leighton Buzzard, and we first posted about it a couple of weeks ago. Here’s some more insight into what we did. It responded to a detailed brief – providing a series of custom fittings designed to address a wide range of storage and …
Tired kitchen overhaul – Nettlebed – ‘before’ photos
We are often asked to come into someone’s property to completely rethink and reimagine a client’s use of space, and then design, make and fit furniture accordingly. That also applies of course to kitchens which to many people, are the most important area of any home. Earlier this year we were asked to go and assess a kitchen in a …
Glass breakfast bar – we don’t just do wood!
This is another commission that we very much enjoyed making and fitting for clients near Aston Abbotts – the same clients in fact in the previous post for whom we also made the amazing TV wall.

Curved end wardrobe – fitted
You may remember that at the start of January, we posted about the large curved wardrobe that we were finishing off in our workshop. After many more hours of hard work, we completed the wardrobe, and have now installed it in our clients’ home. As you can see from the photos, we had to build the wardrobe to fit …

We have just launched our new website at www.markwilliamsonkitchens.com which is dedicated to showcasing our bespoke and custom-made kitchens. For now, it’s more or less a holding page with our contact information, but over the coming weeks and months we will be expanding the website with galleries of photography and details of the kitchens that we have already designed and …
Kitchen screen and shelving in oak
Before Christmas, we designed, made and fitted this tall screen into the kitchen of an architect-designed house. We often work for architects who require one-off, made-to-measure, special, or simply unusual pieces of furniture that need to be designed and made from scratch. This screen not only provides some privacy form the outside looking in, but also functions as very useful …
