Important Rooms Catalogue

Important Rooms from Important Rooms Ltd presents a collection of free-standing kitchens and country furniture, offering an alternative to the conventional fitted kitchen. The range celebrates the warmth and personality of the traditional country kitchen, with handmade pieces crafted from sustainable and recycled teak.

An Alternative to Fitted Kitchens

Important Rooms looks beyond the familiar choices of fitted, unfitted and handmade kitchens. While many handmade kitchens use real wood doors and trimmings, they are often fitted so they cannot be removed and may still be composed of chipboard or MDF. Unfitted kitchens, by contrast, are growing in popularity, particularly among owners of cottages and older homes.

The unfitted approach draws on a more Victorian and rustic Shaker style, based on functional pieces of furniture that can be moved for cleaning or to create a different look. Placed on an earth-tiled or slate floor and around a stove, the Victorian country kitchen was a place of warmth, personality and hospitality.

Country Kitchen Furniture

Important Rooms offers a selection of country kitchen furniture that typifies this traditional look and brings warmth to the home. Pieces reflect the classic features of the Victorian country kitchen, including:

• Butler sinks
• Dressers
• Larder and broom cupboards
• Butcher's blocks
• Refectory-style kitchen tables
• Airers for drying clothes

Plantation Teak

The furniture is handmade from sustainable and recycled teak. Important Rooms has chosen plantation teak, a hard wood first grown and managed by the Dutch around 150 years ago. The supply is farmed at 30 years to give the best character and patina.

An Individual Design Service

Important Rooms provides an individual service, with pieces that cannot be bought from the High Street. The company is happy to advise on all stages of kitchen design, including consultations in the home, and also allows customers to design a single piece of furniture for any room, crafted to their own specifications.
