A celebration of design

Handcrafted as part of our Milan Collection, the Credenhill Kitchen celebrates a sleek, contemporary design. The flat, handleless cabinetry features recessed grooves running along the tops of doors and drawers, giving a smooth, uninterrupted finish without compromising on everyday functionality.

At the heart of the layout is a modern peninsula, running in an L-shape before extending outwards to gently separate the kitchen from the living and dining area. It's a subtle divide that keeps the open-plan space feeling light, sociable, and connected throughout. As well as adding valuable storage and worktop space, the peninsula creates a relaxed spot for seating, ideal for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

Natural warmth

Our clients wanted a kitchen that felt warm, welcoming, and full of personality. With the Milan collection, a two-tone palette is possible by painting the cabinetry framework in a contrasting shade. Here, oak-veneered cabinetry flows through the space, its honey tones bringing natural warmth, while the painted white framework creates a contrast. Together, the palette highlights the beautiful wood grain and enhances the kitchen's character.

Bespoke detailing makes this design truly unique. Open shelving in the peninsula provides a place for favourite pieces to be displayed, while a custom fridge surround and corner shelving unit brings both practicality and charm. The standout feature, however, is the open-fronted countertop cupboard. Complete with glass shelving, it has been thoughtfully designed as a mini bar area, the perfect place to display glassware.

These personal touches extend throughout the rest of the space too. Brushed brass hardware adds a warm metallic glint against the oak and white palette, while a run of full-height cabinetry offers generous storage without disrupting the room's clean lines. Pendant lighting above the peninsula adds a softer, more intimate feel come evening, helping the kitchen transition effortlessly from a bright family space by day to a relaxed spot for entertaining after dark.

Ultimately, the Credenhill Kitchen proves that contemporary design doesn't have to feel cold or clinical. With its considered mix of natural materials, bespoke joinery, and personal detailing, it's a space that feels right, a true reflection of the family who call it home.

What our clients say

"I can honestly say dealing with Minerva was the best choice I could have made. I went for dinner at a friends house who had recently had their kitchen done by Minerva, I was impressed. It motivated me to look into a new kitchen and I went to see them. I was struck by how professional and personable Karl was, he showed us options, gave ideas and was lovely to talk to. I loved the showroom (go and look) and I could feel the quality of the work they do. We had several designs and quotes from Magnet, Wren, and a few others but when we saw quality from Minerva at the price they were offering our mind was made up.

These guys could charge a lot more than they do, yes you can get cheaper but it will never be as solid and just beautifully made as these kitchens. Ros our designer went above and beyond to create something that works so well and so perfectly designed and really will last for a long time( I think it's 20 year warranty). Go and have a look, they wont waste your time, They gave our house the best kitchen we could have hoped for. You can see it on their Instagram as Credenhill Kithcen. Thanks Minerva"
