Areas We Cover
Bespoke Kitchen Design for Watford Homes
Tamaru Kitchens & Interiors designs and supplies bespoke kitchens for homes in Watford 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.
Watford has a varied mix of residential areas and property styles, which can create very different requirements when planning a new kitchen.
Some projects involve working within an existing room, while others form part of an extension, open-plan redesign or wider renovation.
We start with the property itself, how you use the kitchen and what you would like to improve.

A kitchen needs to function well before decisions are made about colours and finishes.
We consider preparation space, appliances, storage, seating and how people move around the room.
Where an island is being considered, its proportions need to allow enough space around appliances, seating and walkways.
In open-plan rooms, we also look at the relationship between the kitchen, dining and living areas so the space works comfortably as a whole.
German and Handmade Kitchens in Watford
Our clients can choose between German kitchens and Handmade English kitchens.
Offering both allows us to explore different styles, specifications and approaches depending on the property and your preferences.
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 designs, 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.
You can compare both approaches at our Hockliffe studio and explore cabinetry, finishes and materials in person.
Kitchens for Watford's Varied Homes
Watford has a varied mix of residential areas, including many semi-detached and detached homes alongside denser development around the town centre, which can create different considerations for kitchen layouts, extensions and renovation projects.
In an older home, existing openings, chimney breasts or previous alterations may affect the layout. In other properties, the priority may be improving storage, repositioning appliances or making better use of an open-plan kitchen and living space.
Watford also has several 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 Watford Borough Council conservation guidance early in the project.
Kitchen Extensions and Wider Renovations
Sometimes a better kitchen layout becomes possible by changing the space around it.
That might involve extending the property, opening adjoining rooms, moving a doorway or reconsidering part of the ground-floor layout.
Tamaru is part of the DreamBuild Group, allowing structural and building work to be incorporated where required.
Planning the kitchen alongside those changes helps ensure decisions around lighting, plumbing, electrics, extraction and appliance positions are made 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 rooms are being updated together, we can also consider how materials and finishes work across the wider interior.
Planning Your Kitchen With Tamaru
We begin by understanding your existing space, what currently works and what you would like to change.
That first conversation can take place over the phone or at our Hockliffe studio.
An approximate budget is also useful to discuss early, helping us explore cabinetry, appliances and finishes that are appropriate for the project.
Developing the layout
Once we understand the room and your priorities, we develop the kitchen design and specification.
Storage, appliance positions, worktop space, seating and circulation are considered before finalising materials and finishes.
Plans and visuals are presented in our studio, where we can review the design and make any necessary changes 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 Watford 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.
