Tamaru Kitchens & Interiors designs and supplies bespoke kitchens for homes in High Wycombe and across Buckinghamshire 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.
Homes in and around High Wycombe vary considerably, from established family properties and older character homes to more contemporary interiors and extended houses.
That variety means there is rarely one approach to kitchen design that works for every property.
We look at the proportions of the room, how you want to use it and how the kitchen connects with the rest of your home before developing the layout and specification.

Book a Design ConsultationA kitchen needs to work well long before decisions are made about door colours or worktop finishes.
We consider where food is prepared, how frequently appliances are used, the storage you need and how people move through the space.
If an island is part of the plan, its proportions are equally important. It needs enough surrounding space for appliances, seating and circulation rather than simply being made as large as the room will allow.
For open-plan spaces, we also look at how the cabinetry relates to dining and living areas so the kitchen feels part of the wider interior.
Our clients can choose between German kitchens and Handmade English kitchens.
Having both options allows us to explore different styles, levels of specification and ways of working with the architecture of the property.
Our Häcker kitchens are designed by our team and manufactured in Germany.
We offer the Concept130 and Systemat collections, covering contemporary, handled and handleless kitchens with a wide choice of finishes, cabinet configurations and internal storage.
Concept130 offers excellent versatility across a broad range of designs, while Systemat provides additional specification and detailing options.
Our Handmade English cabinetry is available in LayOn and InFrame styles and can be made to measure.
It is particularly suited to painted kitchens, shaker styles and rooms where individual proportions or bespoke detailing are important.
We can show you both approaches in our studio and help you compare them based on your property, preferred style and budget.

High Wycombe has a mix of historic streets, established residential areas and homes that have been extended or altered over time.
In an older property, the kitchen layout may need to respond to chimney breasts, uneven walls, original openings or unusual room proportions.
In larger or extended homes, the challenge can be quite different. The space may be generous, but the kitchen still needs clear working areas, comfortable circulation and the right relationship with adjoining rooms.
High Wycombe also has designated conservation areas. If a kitchen forms part of a larger project involving structural or external changes to a historic property, it is worth checking the relevant Buckinghamshire Council conservation guidance before work begins.
Sometimes the best kitchen layout only becomes possible when the surrounding space changes too.
That may involve removing a wall, extending the property, changing door positions or relocating the kitchen entirely.
Tamaru is part of the DreamBuild Group, allowing wider building and structural work to be incorporated into the project where required.
Designing the kitchen alongside the renovation also allows decisions around lighting, electrics, plumbing, extraction and appliance positions to be made at the right stage rather than adapted afterwards.
Your project doesn't necessarily need to stop at the kitchen.
Tamaru also designs and supplies:
We can also help with the specification of worktops, sinks, taps and appliances.
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.
For open-plan homes in particular, considering these elements together can help the different areas feel connected without making every part of the room identical.
We start by understanding what you would like to change and what currently works or doesn't work, in your existing kitchen.
That conversation can begin over the phone or at our Hockliffe studio.
Discussing an approximate budget at this stage also allows us to explore the cabinetry, appliances and finishes that are appropriate for the project.
Once we understand the room and your priorities, we develop the layout and specification.
Storage, appliance positioning, seating, worktop space and circulation are all considered as part of the design.
Plans and visuals are presented in our studio, where we can make adjustments and look at cabinetry, materials and finishes together.
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.
Tamaru can also provide installation, which usually takes around two to three weeks for a typical kitchen. Projects involving more extensive building work may take longer.

Our studio is on Watling Street in Hockliffe, Leighton Buzzard.
Visiting gives you the opportunity to see cabinetry and finishes in person, compare our German and Handmade kitchen options and discuss the practical details of your project directly with our designers.
We work across Buckinghamshire, including High Wycombe, Princes Risborough and Aylesbury, as well as Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Greater London.
Kitchen costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the room, cabinetry chosen, worktops, appliances, internal storage and installation.
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 rooms and higher specifications will naturally increase the overall project value.
Having an early conversation about budget allows us to understand where you would most like to invest and develop the design around those priorities.
Interest-free finance and Buy Now, Pay Later options may also be available depending on the project value and products selected.
Tamaru offers more than one style of cabinetry and more than one way to approach a kitchen project.
You can compare German and Handmade English kitchens and specify appliances and finishes with our team, with installation also available as part of the project.
For extensions, structural changes or wider renovations, our connection with DreamBuild allows the kitchen and building work to be planned together.
“The finish is exceptional and the service, support and patience shown by Neil from start to finish has been very much appreciated... the care that Tamaru took with our property from protecting door frames and doors to cleaning up at the end of every day was very much appreciated too.”
