Help with kitchen cabinets. Looking to immitate deVOL.

[HomeExtender]

I'm looking to imitate a deVOL kitchen but can't afford one
I've looked at DIY kitchens Norton range but the lay-on frame is 10cm, a lot chunkier than deVOL. Has anyone seen any kitchens with a slimmer onlay frame above no V groove (so the frame is flush with no gaps)? I dint want in-frame. Thanks so much!

Love your kitchen Crumbelina! What is the finish on your handles?

We are in the planning process for ours.. the details are killing me, have never given so much thought to skirting boards!!

[Crumbelina]

Thanks @ClarawithaCocktail! The finish is Armac Martin's Antique Copper Plate. The planning for ours was ridiculous too. 4 years in the making but we finally got there! I must update with some more pictures when the sun comes out as all the finishing elements are now complete.

I think we're going to go the same route for bedroom storage as well (IKEA/Foxtow but in MDF light grey shaker this time and much cheaper handles/knobs!).

Wow, amazingly helpful thread - huge thanks to everyone who contributed as has been so inspiring. Was disappointed the thread ended! @Crumbelina your kitchen is simply gorgeous and so my style. I am having similar but on a smaller scale. Most decisions made/ordered..oh but the hardware 😩. I want deVol but the cost!! Am still looking for that quality, colour, simply elegant design with an aged finish in my budget - obvs doesn’t exist! 😂. Does anyone else have any updates?

Hello! Yes - I need to post pics of my finished kitchen. Just had baby no2 so been a bit pre-occupied. I'll get some photos up asap. Anything in particular you want to know?

[Affone]

@Georgia502 Congratulations on the new baby! How lovely to have a smart new kitchen too. ☺️

I'm just stuck on handles tbh.. I have treated us (me 😂) to Perrin & Rowe Mayan taps in aged brass which I bought from deVOL and Shaws Butler sink and want the handles to be of the same quality but the ones I like are of course hugely expensive. I'm trawling through but yet to find 'the ones'

How did your kitchen go? Are you pleased with it?

[Georgia502]

Sorry for the delay in the reply. I will reply in more detail asap but in the meantime - I spent ages researching and had so many samples but in the end went for these in aged brass. They were mid-range price as we didn't have a huge budget (it really adds up though!) but they look great and I'm super happy with them!

I'll post more images of full kitchen but for know here are the handles close up. Not sure if they're what you are after?

Looks lovely!

I could recommend a fair few suppliers for in-frame kitchens that have the similar style to deVOL's "Real Shaker" range ; (www.rixonway.co.uk/kitchen/astoria/)

If you're looking for the deVOL "Classic English" style, you're going to be looking at bespoke I'm afraid, and that means expensive.
