When a client takes the time to leave a detailed review, it always means a great deal to our team. But every now and then, a review comes along that perfectly captures exactly what we aim to deliver on every single project: a kitchen that not only looks exceptional, but genuinely enhances day-to-day life.
Our client, Mr White, recently completed a major kitchen renovation with HKS Kitchens, and his feedback reflects the care, craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the finished space. From the earliest conversations through to the final installation, the client highlighted the professionalism of the team, the clear communication throughout the process, and the quality of workmanship once everything was complete.
As keen home cooks, he and his partner wanted a kitchen that felt as practical as it was beautiful. The result is a striking yet timeless space that feels calm, elegant and refined, while still offering the kind of functionality that makes cooking and entertaining effortless.
Below, we’ve included Mr White’s review in full, before taking a closer look at the key features and design details that make this Masterclass kitchen such a standout transformation.
A Five-Star Review That Says It All
Shortly after completing his kitchen renovation with HKS Kitchens, our client shared a detailed five-star review of his experience, and his words perfectly capture what we aim to deliver on every project: exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful planning, and a smooth journey from start to finish.
Here is the review in full:
“We’ve just had a major kitchen project completed by HKS Interiors, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very first design discussions through to the final installation, the whole team acted professionally, communicated clearly, and paid great attention to detail at every stage. The finished kitchen looks fantastic and is genuinely something we’re proud of.
The quality of the workmanship really stands out, and it’s clear that HKS take real care in what they do. What also pleasantly surprised us was the price — it was far more achievable than we expected.
Choosing an independent company like HKS was a complete no-brainer compared to the big high-street kitchen chains, who often lure you in with budget quality kitchens, cheap finance and so-called discounts that aren’t really deals at all. With HKS, everything felt honest, transparent, and they genuinely care about your project.
We would highly recommend the team at HKS Kitchens. Give them a try, keep business local, and you’ll almost certainly be delighted with both the price and the end result.”
Our client’s feedback is exactly what every homeowner hopes to feel at the end of a renovation: confident in the decision they made, proud of the finished kitchen, and reassured that the process was handled with care and professionalism.
A Masterclass Kitchen with Timeless Appeal
This kitchen features a beautiful Masterclass Kitchen, one of our newest suppliers, known for combining exceptional build quality with thoughtful design.
The chosen door style, Hawksmoor painted in Light Grey, brings classic detailing into a contemporary setting. Paired with a Portland Oak carcass, the cabinetry offers subtle warmth and contrast, particularly when drawers and doors are opened. The overall effect is elegant, refined and perfectly suited to a home where cooking and entertaining are a genuine passion.
A Statement Island in Windsor Blue
The island serves as the centrepiece of the room, painted in a striking Windsor Blue. This bold yet timeless choice anchors the space beautifully, creating depth and contrast against the softer tones of the perimeter cabinetry.
The addition of decorative posts and panels gives the island a sophisticated, furniture-style finish. Rather than appearing purely functional, it feels crafted and architectural, a feature that elevates the entire room. With generous worktop space for preparation and informal dining, it has quickly become the heart of the home.
Quartz Worktops and Thoughtful Detailing
To complete the look, Mr White selected 20mm quartz worktops in Snow, delivering a crisp, clean surface that complements both the Light Grey cabinetry and the deep blue island. Quartz is not only visually striking but highly durable, ideal for keen cooks who need a robust surface for daily use. The streamlined 20mm profile keeps the overall aesthetic modern and refined. Another standout feature is the large mantle, which frames the cooking area beautifully. It adds architectural presence and creates a natural focal point, giving the kitchen a sense of structure and balance.
Designed Around Practical Living
While the aesthetics are impressive, this kitchen was always designed with functionality at its core. Careful thought was given to positioning key elements such as the pull-out bins and integrated dishwasher, ensuring they sit exactly where they are needed for effortless workflow. Plenty of uninterrupted worktop space allows for serious food preparation, making the kitchen feel intuitive and ergonomic.
Storage was also a priority. The spacious larder unit, complete with pull-out drawers and internal lighting, provides a substantial amount of organised storage while keeping everything easily accessible. It’s a perfect example of how smart internal design enhances everyday usability.
Appliances That Complement the Space
The kitchen is equipped with a suite of reliable, high-performance appliances, including:
-
NEFF oven
-
NEFF microwave
-
NEFF dishwasher
-
Quooker boiling water tap
-
Caple farmhouse ceramic sink
The Quooker tap offers instant boiling water, adding both convenience and efficiency, while the farmhouse ceramic sink introduces a subtle nod to traditional styling that works beautifully with the Hawksmoor cabinetry. Together, these elements ensure the kitchen performs just as impressively as it looks.
A Kitchen Built to Last
This client kitchen is a perfect example of what can be achieved when craftsmanship, careful planning and honest communication come together. It’s a space that supports passionate cooking, relaxed entertaining and everyday comfort, all while maintaining a timeless, elegant appearance. Most importantly, it’s a kitchen our client and his partner feel genuinely proud of, and that is always the ultimate measure of success.
