In-Frame kitchens

Perfectly framed. Endlessly refined.

Every door sits within its own slender frame, every line meets with watch-maker precision, and every finish feels quietly confident.

Our in-frame collection captures the timeless appeal of traditional cabinetry, then re-imagines it for modern British homes - pairing heritage proportions with hidden soft-close hinges, deep storage, and a palette that stretches from Chalk White to dramatic Oxford Blue.

In-frame cabinetry is more than a design choice; it is a quiet declaration of craft. The slender wooden frame encasing every door does more than anchor the hinges. It steadies the room itself, giving the eye a perfect reference line and the hand a gentle change in texture as it moves from rail to stile. Over time, that frame becomes a reassuring constant. Paint may evolve, handles may change, yet the geometry – the disciplined shadow where door meets frame – remains flawlessly true.

That is why in-frame kitchens feel inherently luxurious. The construction demands extra skill: mortise-and-tenon joints cut to fractions of a millimetre, doors planed until they close with the lightest kiss of timber, hinges set deep to keep the reveal uninterrupted. It is labour that cannot be rushed, and you sense that patience every time a drawer glides or a larder door swings. Beneath the heritage surface lies modern engineering. Soft-close mechanisms protect fine china, oak-lined pantries glow under discreet lighting, and drawers two metres wide carry cast-iron cookware with ease. You are choosing a kitchen that honours tradition while embracing daily life in 2025.

At Casey & Co we specialise in luxury kitchens that celebrate these traditional styles. From our family-run showroom in Colchester we guide you through framed samples, paint swatches and hardware that feel as good as they look. Every cabinet is British-built, finished in your chosen colour and installed by a local team who treat your home with the same care they give our studio. Visit us at Peartree Business Centre, run your hand along a real ash frame and experience the difference that true quality and British craftsmanship bring.

In-frame suits homes with history – Georgian sash windows, Victorian high ceilings, rustic oak beams – yet it also lends warmth and presence to contemporary extensions. In a new build of glass and polished concrete, a framed island softens the architecture, offering a tactile counterpoint to sleek surfaces. In a country cottage it feels as if it has always been there, ready for winter stews and summer jam-making.

Choose a classic bead and muted heritage green for a period look, or pair a slim faux in-frame door with deep Oxford Blue and brushed brass rails for a sharper, transitional feel. The silhouette is timeless enough to bridge styles, colours and generations.

Most of all, an in-frame kitchen ages with dignity. The frame shields door edges from the knocks of family life, paint can be refreshed without dismantling the cabinetry, and solid ash develops a mellow depth that veneer never achieves. This is furniture-grade craft, built once and built well… ready to witness morning coffees, late-night snacks, children’s homework and quiet moments long after guests have gone.

If you are drawn to workmanship that endures and detail that rewards a second glance, an in-frame kitchen from Casey & Co may be the most considered investment you make for your home.
