Davonport Kitchen & Home Designers and craftsmen of multi-award-winning bespoke kitchens and interiors based in Colchester Davonport design and make luxury bespoke kitchens.

All our furniture is custom-built, handcrafted in our workshops using only the highest quality raw materials. There are no ‘off the shelf’ solutions, this means we start every project with a totally fresh perspective. Led by Richard Davonport, we have been combining traditional cabinet making skills with resourceful building techniques to create kitchens of distinction for almost 30 years, for homes across Essex and the Home Counties. We recommend making an appointment to visit our award-winning Colchester showroom where you can draw inspiration from our wide range of displays, take a guided tour of our workshop, and discuss your project with our designers in our private meeting room.

We love how the soft blue of the cabinetry brings out the cooler tones in the natural stone worktop. The colours work beautifully together, with the waterfall edge creating a seamless flow between the stone and our cabinetry.

The way a kitchen feels to use is shaped by the thought that goes into it.
Having what you need close to hand, a place for the things you reach for each morning, and drawers that bring a little order to a busy day. Planning these details is as much a part of designing a kitchen as choosing its colour or style.

When planning their forever home, our clients wanted a kitchen that felt equally comfortable for everyday cooking and entertaining friends.

The island brings these two roles together. A hob faces into the room, while the circular timber breakfast bar offers somewhere to sit and keep the cook company.

Curved cabinetry softens the layout, with pale painted furniture surrounding the deep blue island. Practical details are quietly integrated, allowing the room to feel welcoming and considered.

A kitchen shaped around the simple pleasures of cooking, gathering and being at home.

A useful kitchen brief begins with how the room must work.

Consider the rhythms of daily life. Who cooks, where the morning coffee is made, what needs to be stored and which appliances genuinely matter. Look, too, at the architecture of the room and the wider project programme.

You do not need to arrive with every answer. A thoughtful brief simply gives the design process a useful place to begin.

Save these five questions before your first design meeting.

Three thoughtful decisions quietly shaped this kitchen.

The first was the layout. Two islands gently define the different ways the room is used, creating space for cooking and preparation, with a separate place for family and friends to gather nearby.

The second was the balance of materials. Holkham cabinetry in soft Tracery II sits beautifully alongside Sensa Vancouver quartzite, with matt black handles and taps adding a subtle contrast.

The third was the curved island. Its half moon shape and delicate reeded detailing soften the proportions of the room, creating an inviting place to sit and talk while food is prepared.

Practical choices, considered together, have given this kitchen its calm and welcoming character.

Save this approach for your own project planning.
