Sinks in Moulded Corian

You may not be aware, but Higham Furniture is a certified fabricator of Corian. This versatile material is becoming an increasingly popular option for kitchen and bathroom worktops, offering a cool, hard finish similar to stone, but with the benefit of being mouldable and easier to repair.

If you prefer a smooth finish and clean lines in a kitchen, then Corian may be the answer for you. With sinks moulded directly into the worktop, and optional extras such as drainer grooves and pan rests, the result is an easy to clean, seamless workspace. There are lots of options when choosing a sink, with single and double sinks of varying sizes. We can even combine multiple models to create an effect specific to your requirements, such as this popular staggered 1.5 option, created by combining a large and small sink.

If you would like to talk through the possibilities then do get in touch and we will be happy to go through the basics with you, or if you prefer to do a bit of detective work on your own, then why not have a look at the website of the Corian distributor for the UK, CDUK, here for more information.

Beautiful Kitchens - February 2012

We are very proud to let you know that we have been featured three times in this month's edition of Beautiful Kitchens (Feb 2012).

If you are interested in Higham Furniture kitchens, then why not pick up a copy where you can see three examples of our framed shaker designs. On page 51 you will find our increasingly popular Southfields handleless shaker design, which continues to generate excitement after it's magazine feature last year. You will also find an example of an L-shaped freestanding style Higham kitchen on page 59 and a simple shaker design in the gallery on page 126.

Information concerning Beautiful Kitchens magazine can be found on their website, if you are interested in seeing more.

Happy New Year

After a well-earned, relaxing Christmas break, all of us at our Hampshire workshop and London design studio are getting back into the swing of things and looking forward to another exciting year.

If you are interested in discussing your forthcoming furniture projects with the Higham Furniture team, we are currently running a New Year promotion of 20% off and invite you to register for these prices.

You can find the details on our website here.

Our workshop schedule is already very busy for the first few months of 2012, due to a successful 2011 - as is evident from our recent blogs. We would recommend you engage us as soon as possible if you are interested in commissioning a Higham Furniture design. Taking time to go through design requirements and potential delivery/installation lead-times with us at the start of a project can be beneficial to our clients as it helps to prioritise various decisions and tasks.

Please feel free to contact us via email or phone and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the above. As always, you are more than welcome to arrange a visit to our workshop too.

Best wishes for 2012.

Ideal Home Painted and Walnut Larder

Ideal Home Magazine have also featured the larder from the Hove, Sussex kitchen on their website. This is the link here.

We normally do birch and oak larder internals but this customer wanted walnut to match her worktops. The colour is really deep and rich and a contrast to the painted cabinetry in Farrow and Ball Blackened.

The full height storage racks take substantial amounts of food and the worktop is handy for the microwave.

This customer also opted for the spice drawers and built in trays.

White Bespoke Kitchen

Ideal Home Magazine recently featured one of our kitchens.  The photos are now on their website: Ideal Home Mag Article

The kitchen is a white painted shaker kitchen in Hove, Sussex.  It is painted in Farrow and Ball Blackened.

The kitchen features a big larder, large island with chunky legs and super deep drawers.

Merry Christmas!

Just to let you know that we are closing our design office and workshop for the festive season as of Friday the 23rd of December and will reopen on Tuesday the 3rd of January. We will still be checking emails and calls periodically however, so if you have a question you would like to ask or would like to express your interest in a Higham Furniture kitchen, then please do get in touch.

2011 has proved very exciting for us here at Higham Furniture, with increased coverage in magazines such as Homes & Gardens and Beautiful Kitchens leading to a surge of interest in our product. We are very hopeful that this will continue in to 2012 and are very much looking forward to working on new design projects in the new year.

From everyone at the workshop in Hampshire and the design office in London, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Best wishes from,

All at Higham Furniture

Part of the team

Having recently joined Higham Furniture as a new designer I am very excited about being a part of the company as it grows . Over the coming months I look forward to getting to know our existing clients and welcoming new customers to our company. Through informal design chats in the office, incorporating my own ideas and working closely with each individual client I believe we can continue to produce some truly bespoke designs.

As the Higham Furniture workshop can make bespoke elements to the furniture, designing a tailor made kitchen results in a rewarding experience from the initial design to the final product, for both us and our clients.

The removable 'drawers'/trays in this 3d design image are an example of this. We can maximise the storage potential while enhancing the aesthetic quality to the design. The Oak finish contrasts beautifully with the hand painted units and adds an element of interest to the seating area.

Hope to hear from you soon.
