Bespoke Kitchen Design for Northampton Homes
Tamaru Kitchens & Interiors designs and supplies bespoke kitchens for homes in Northampton and the surrounding area 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.
Northampton has a broad mix of established and newer residential areas, creating different requirements for kitchen layouts, extensions and renovation projects.
Some kitchens need to work around the existing architecture, while others form part of a larger change to the ground-floor layout.
We start by understanding how you use the space, what works well and what you would like to change.

The layout is the foundation of the kitchen.
We consider preparation space, appliances, storage, seating and circulation before focusing on colours and finishes.
If an island is part of the design, we look carefully at the space around it so appliances can open properly and people can move comfortably through the room.
For open-plan kitchens, we also consider how the kitchen relates to adjoining dining and living spaces.
German and Handmade Kitchens in Northampton
Our clients can choose between German kitchens and Handmade English kitchens.
Having both gives us flexibility across different styles of home, design preferences and levels of specification.
Häcker German Kitchens
Our Häcker kitchens are designed by our team and manufactured in Germany.
We offer Concept130 and Systemat, including contemporary, handled and handleless kitchens across a wide selection of finishes, cabinet configurations and internal storage options.
Concept130 offers flexibility across a broad range of designs, while Systemat provides additional possibilities for specification and detailing.
Handmade English Kitchens
Our Handmade English cabinetry is available in LayOn and InFrame styles and can be made to measure.
It works particularly well for shaker kitchens, painted finishes and projects where individual proportions or more traditional detailing are important.
Both collections can be explored at our Hockliffe studio, where you can compare cabinetry, materials and finishes in person.
Kitchens for Northampton's Established and Newer Homes
Northampton includes older established neighbourhoods alongside substantial newer residential development, creating different considerations for kitchen layouts, structural alterations and extensions.
In an older home, existing openings, chimney breasts, previous alterations or less regular room proportions may influence where cabinetry and appliances can be positioned.
In newer properties, the opportunity may be to improve storage, rethink appliance positions, add seating or make better use of an open-plan room.
Northampton also includes a number of designated conservation areas. If your wider renovation involves structural or external alterations to a property within one of them, it is worth checking the relevant West Northamptonshire Council conservation guidance early in the project.
Kitchen Extensions and Wider Renovations
A new kitchen can sometimes work better when the surrounding space is reconsidered at the same time.
That might involve extending the property, opening adjoining rooms, changing internal walls or relocating the kitchen within the ground floor.
Tamaru is part of the DreamBuild Group, allowing structural and building work to be incorporated where required.
Planning the kitchen alongside those changes means lighting, plumbing, electrics, extraction and appliance positions can all be considered before the building work is completed.
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 as part of your kitchen project.
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 rooms are being updated together, we can also consider how materials and finishes relate across the wider interior.
From Initial Ideas to Final Design
We start by understanding your existing kitchen, what currently works and what you would like to change.
That first discussion can take place over the phone or at our Hockliffe studio.
Talking about an approximate budget early also helps us explore cabinetry, appliances and finishes that are appropriate for the project.
Developing the kitchen
Once we understand your priorities, we develop the layout and specification.
Storage, appliance positions, worktop space, seating and circulation are considered before the final materials and finishes are selected.
Plans and visuals are presented in our studio so the design can be reviewed and refined 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 structural or renovation work may take longer.

How Much Does a Bespoke Kitchen in Northampton 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 helps us 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.
