Areas We Cover
Bespoke Kitchen Design for Hemel Hempstead Homes
Tamaru Kitchens & Interiors designs and supplies bespoke kitchens for homes in Hemel Hempstead and across Hertfordshire from our studio in Hockliffe, Leighton Buzzard. Our collection includes Häcker German kitchens and Handmade English cabinetry, with design, specification, supply and installation available through our team.
Hemel Hempstead has a particularly varied mix of homes, shaped by its development as one of Britain's first New Towns alongside the much older historic centre.
The town is also continuing to grow, bringing newer homes and redevelopment alongside its established neighbourhoods.
For us, that means looking at each property individually rather than assuming the same kitchen layout or style will suit every home.

The best place to start is with the way you use the room.
We consider preparation space, storage, appliances, seating and circulation before moving into cabinetry colours and finishes.
In an open-plan kitchen, we also look at how the space connects with dining and living areas and where people naturally move through the room.
If an island is being considered, its size needs to work with the surrounding cabinetry, appliances and walkways rather than simply filling the available floor space.
German and Handmade Kitchens for Hemel Hempstead
Our clients can choose between German kitchens and Handmade English kitchens.
This gives us flexibility across different styles of property and different approaches to kitchen design.
Häcker German Kitchens
Our Häcker kitchens are designed by our team and manufactured in Germany.
We offer Concept130 and Systemat, with contemporary, handled and handleless designs available across a wide choice of finishes, cabinet configurations and internal storage.
Concept130 provides flexibility across a broad range of styles, while Systemat offers additional specification and detailing options.
Handmade English Kitchens
Our Handmade English cabinetry is available in LayOn and InFrame styles and can be made to measure.
It is particularly suited to shaker kitchens, painted finishes and projects where individual proportions or more traditional detailing are important.
Both collections can be explored at our Hockliffe studio, allowing you to compare the cabinetry, finishes and construction in person.
Kitchens for Hemel Hempstead's Homes
Hemel Hempstead includes both established residential neighbourhoods and the historic Old Town, where older properties and conservation-area considerations can influence kitchen layouts, extensions and wider renovation work.
In an older home, existing openings, chimney breasts or previous alterations may influence the design. In more modern properties, the opportunity may be to improve storage, rethink appliance positions or make better use of an open-plan layout.
Hemel Hempstead is also continuing to change, with significant new housing and regeneration planned across the town.
If your project involves external or structural alterations within the historic Old Town, it may be worth checking the relevant Dacorum Borough Council conservation guidance early in the project.
Kitchen Extensions and Wider Renovations
Sometimes improving the kitchen also means reconsidering the space around it.
That could involve opening adjoining rooms, extending the property, moving a doorway or relocating the kitchen to another part of the ground floor.
Tamaru is part of the DreamBuild Group, allowing wider structural and building work to be incorporated where required.
Planning the kitchen alongside those changes helps ensure lighting, plumbing, electrics, extraction and appliance positions are resolved at the right stage.
Interiors Beyond the Kitchen
We can also help with other areas of your home.
Tamaru designs and supplies:
- Utility and boot rooms
- Bedrooms and fitted wardrobes
- Home offices
- TV and media furniture
- Bathrooms
- Amtico flooring and more
Worktops, sinks, taps and appliances can also be specified alongside the kitchen.
Our appliance offering includes brands such as Sub-Zero & Wolf, Miele, Siemens, Liebherr, Bora and Lacanche, alongside Blanco, Quooker, Perrin & Rowe and more for sinks, taps and finishing details.
Where several spaces are being updated together, we can also consider how materials and finishes relate across the wider interior.
From Initial Ideas to Final Specification
The first stage is understanding what you want to improve and what currently does or doesn't work in your kitchen.
That conversation can begin over the phone or at our Hockliffe studio.
Discussing an approximate budget at this stage also helps us explore cabinetry, appliances and finishes that are appropriate for the project.
Developing your kitchen design
Once we understand the room and your priorities, we develop the layout and specification.
Storage, appliance positions, worktop space, seating and circulation are all considered before finalising materials and finishes.
Plans and visuals are presented in our studio, where we can review the design and make any necessary adjustments together.
Quotation, manufacture and installation
Once the design and specification are developed, we prepare a detailed quotation.
Manufacturing typically takes around four to eight weeks, depending on the cabinetry selected.
Installation is also available and usually takes around two to three weeks for a typical kitchen. Projects involving more extensive renovation or building work may take longer.

How Much Does a Bespoke Kitchen in Hemel Hempstead Cost?
Every project has a different room and specification, so there is no single fixed price.
As a broad guide, fully fitted kitchens can start from around £15,000 for a smaller scheme, while medium-sized kitchens and island layouts often move into the £20,000–£25,000+ range.
Larger kitchens and higher specifications will naturally increase the overall project value.
Discussing budget early allows us to understand where you would most like to invest and develop the specification accordingly.
Interest-free finance and Buy Now, Pay Later options may also be available depending on the project value and products selected.
Why Choose Tamaru for Your Hemel Hempstead Kitchen?
Tamaru brings the kitchen design, cabinetry, appliances and finishing details together within one project, with installation also available.
You can compare German and Handmade English kitchens rather than being limited to a single style or range.
Where the project involves an extension, structural alterations or a wider renovation, our connection with DreamBuild also allows the kitchen and building work to be considered together.
