THOMAS & THOMAS
H
Period Ideas celebrates the best in British interiors
oward Marshall and Robert Entwistle, the founders of Thomas & Thomas kitchens, have between them over 60 years of experience in bespoke kitchen and furniture design and manufacturing. The company has gained a reputation for a style that is traditional, but with contemporary twists and modern technology. It combines fitted and free-standing furniture to ensure all storage needs are met, while at the same time creating a room which you will love living in. But Thomas & Thomas doesn’t just offer fabulous kitchens. The team is also able to design fabulous furniture for other rooms in the house such as utility rooms, boot rooms, cloak rooms and bedrooms. Thomas & Thomas’ design philosophy stems from an understanding of the role of a traditional kitchen within modern family life. Today’s lifestyle demands the kitchen be ‘a room to be lived in’, rather than a purely functional setting. This fundamental understanding of the client’s lifestyle allows a Thomas & Thomas design to fulfil the role of providing seamless practicality and striking beauty within your home. The great thing about working with a kitchen company like Thomas & Thomas is that you won’t just get what you want! The team will work with you and offer myriad suggestions and improvements for things you may not even knew existed or were even possible.
The company values traditional joinery skills and it manufactures all of its kitchens and free-standing furniture, in understated and timeless styles and designs. The company uses only the very best natural materials and fine hardwoods such as English oak, cherry, maple and teak. The design process is personal; it has to be to understand just what is required and to make sure that this is a kitchen you want to live with! Thomas & Thomas will also prepare fully specified plans for your plumber, electrician and architect. Recommended lighting positions are also part of the service, to make sure that you will create the correct lighting for preparation and entertaining. To ensure the highest level of quality, all bespoke kitchens are handmade in the UK and fitted by Thomas & Thomas’ experienced team. They personally oversee every step of the creation and production of your kitchen. The service encompasses so much more than just the design, they work with you on colour, textures and finishes for the whole room as well as appliances. Thomas & Thomas has showrooms in Cheshire and Oxford with a new showroom coming soon in Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire. You are welcome to visit and to see various kitchens all in room settings.
Tradition never goes out of fashion thanks to a combination of fantastic joinery and beautiful materials PERIOD IDEAS 19
