John Strand MK Catalogue

John Strand MK has been a specialist in space-saving furniture and kitchens for over 50 years, helping homeowners, developers, and contractors make the most of compact living spaces. Founded as a family venture and still guided by that ethos today, the company has grown into one of the UK's leading names in ingenious small-space design.

Space-Saving Kitchens for Every Home

At the heart of the John Strand MK range are compact and mini kitchens, built ready to use and starting from as little as one metre wide. Pre-built steel mini kitchens arrive complete with all appliances including the kitchen sink, making them ideal for studio flats, annexes, and investment properties. The hideaway kitchen range takes things further, concealing the entire kitchen behind doors when not in use — a smart solution for open-plan living.

Wall Beds and Folding Tables

Beyond kitchens, John Strand MK offers a thoughtfully designed selection of wall beds and folding tables. Wall beds fold neatly into a cabinet unit during the day, freeing up valuable floor space in a bedroom or studio. Stylish folding tables can serve as a striking centrepiece when open and disappear completely when closed, making them as practical as they are attractive.

Made-to-Measure and Contract Solutions

John Strand MK also operates an in-house design team for made-to-measure kitchens, working with property developers, contractors, and architects on projects including student accommodation, hotels, and residential apartment schemes. Their combination of off-the-shelf convenience and bespoke capability makes them a versatile partner for both individual homeowners and commercial clients.

What makes a hideaway kitchen different from a standard compact kitchen?

A hideaway kitchen is designed to be fully concealed behind cabinet doors or a similar enclosure when not in use, making the kitchen invisible in the room. A standard compact or mini kitchen remains visible but takes up a much smaller footprint than a conventional fitted kitchen.
