THE KITCHEN BEFORE

We arrived on site and stripped the kitchen back to basics – bare plaster walls, exposed wiring, and a single tired sink unit clinging on beneath the window. The old dark slate floor tiles were being lifted, and colour swatches on the wall told the story of a homeowner who’d been planning this moment for a while. The space had real potential, but it needed someone to come in and do it properly. That’s where Acorn Installations came in.

WHAT WE DID

With a clean slate to work from, we set about building something special. The entire electrical layout was redesigned and chased into the fresh plasterwork, with new sockets positioned precisely for the new layout. We installed a full run of handleless matt grey cabinetry – sleek, modern, and beautifully proportioned – wrapping around the perimeter in an L-shape with a tall tower housing an integrated oven and microwave. The real centrepiece, though, is the island. We built it out into the room, topped with a stunning Calacatta-effect quartz worktop that runs continuously across the island and perimeter units alike. A gas hob sits flush into the island surface, with warm LED plinth lighting glowing beneath. After designing the kitchen, the sink was repositioned under the window and paired with a contemporary mixer tap. Overhead, two elegant pendant lights with marble and wood detailing drop above the island, and recessed spotlights were installed throughout the ceiling. The old tiles were replaced with a light wood-effect luxury vinyl floor that opens the room right up.

THE RESULT

The finished kitchen is genuinely stunning – airy, considered, and built to last. The island changes how the whole room is used, giving the family a space to cook, gather, and live around. It’s the kind of kitchen that makes you want to be in it. At Acorn Installations, delivering that feeling on every job is what drives everything we do across Swansea and South Wales.

Client Feedback

  • The planning process which can be daunting, was made much easier by the good advice given and installation completed with minimum of disruption. Harry the electrician was so patient and helpful in advising me on positioning all the lighting, absolutely delighted with the finish.

THE KITCHEN BEFORE

When we first walked into this property in Tycoch, it was clear the space had seen better days. The walls were patchy and stripped back, with remnants of old tiling and paintwork telling the story of years gone by. The layout was tired and cramped, the kind of kitchen that had done its job over the years but was long overdue for a fresh start. There was a wall dividing the space that was seriously limiting its potential – and that had to go before anything else could begin.

WHAT WE DID

The first job was knocking through that dividing wall to open the space right up – no small undertaking, but absolutely worth it. With the structural work done, we stripped everything back to bare brick and plaster, relocated the boiler, and completely rewired and replumbed the space, ready for the new fit. We then installed a full suite of shaker-style cabinetry in a two-tone finish – soft light grey up top and a bold slate blue below – paired with crisp white composite worktops that tie the whole look together beautifully. A large range cooker with an integrated induction hob sits as the centrepiece, flanked by full-height storage units on either side. Warm under-cabinet lighting was run throughout, complemented by recessed ceiling spotlights. We finished the floor with a wood-effect luxury vinyl plank that’s as practical as it is good-looking.

THE RESULT

The finished kitchen is a proper transformation – bright, functional, and genuinely stylish. It’s the kind of space that makes cooking a pleasure rather than a chore. The homeowners now have a kitchen that works hard and looks great doing it. At Acorn Installations, that’s exactly the standard we hold ourselves to on every job we take on across Swansea and South Wales.

Client Feedback

  • Fantastic job from start to finish!! We now have an amazing kitchen/diner. Would thoroughly recommend.
