When investing in a new kitchen, homeowners want more than just a functional space—they want a room that elevates daily living, adds long-term value, and reflects timeless design. Few styles capture these qualities as beautifully as the in-frame kitchen.

At Moir Wade, we specialise in designing and handcrafting in-frame kitchens in Leicestershire, offering homeowners the perfect blend of traditional joinery, modern innovation, and bespoke detail.

What Is an In-Frame Kitchen?

The term in-frame refers to the way cabinet doors and drawers are constructed. Instead of being attached directly to the cabinet carcass (as in mass-produced kitchens), each door sits within a solid wood frame. The result is a kitchen design that is:

• Stronger and more durable – The frame reinforces the structure, preventing warping over time.
• Elegant and timeless – The craftsmanship is visible, making it a design statement.
• Smooth in function – Hinges are mounted onto the frame, offering a superior open-and-close experience.
• Customisable – Perfect for bespoke colour finishes, handle choices, and layouts.

This style is often associated with luxury kitchens and remains one of the most desirable choices for homeowners across Leicestershire.
