Bespoke Solid Oak Kitchen Island Installed in a Character Home ✨

At Con-Tempo Furniture, we love creating furniture that solves problems as well as looking beautiful — and this recent bespoke solid oak kitchen island installation is the perfect example.

The customer wanted a large kitchen island that would become the centrepiece of their kitchen, offering plenty of preparation space, storage and a timeless design. The only challenge?
The finished island was simply too large to fit through the doorway in one piece 🚪

That’s where bespoke British-made furniture makes all the difference.

Designed Around the Home

This handcrafted kitchen island was made completely to order at our workshop next to our showroom in Warminster, Wiltshire. Measuring an impressive 1.8m x 1.1m, the island was carefully designed so it could be professionally assembled inside the customer’s home without compromising on strength or quality.

By manufacturing the island in sections, our team could deliver and build the piece on site, allowing the customer to enjoy a substantial kitchen island even with restricted access.

Solid Oak Craftsmanship

The island features a beautiful solid oak worktop finished with our seasoned oak heat and stain resistant finish, helping to protect the surface from everyday family life while enhancing the natural grain of the timber 🪵

The painted base was finished in the stunning Farrow & Ball Green Smoke, creating a rich contemporary colour that works perfectly with both modern and traditional kitchens.

The finished design includes:

• Three practical storage drawers
• Large open shelving for baskets, cookware or kitchen essentials
• Thick solid oak top with overhang
• Bespoke painted finish
• Handmade solid construction
