Designer Kitchens Cornwall: Bespoke Style Meets High End Functionality
If you’re looking for designer kitchens in Cornwall with a refined, bespoke touch, then visiting our Torben Schmid Kitchens showroom near Truro is the perfect place to start. We specialise in high-end kitchen design, offering a meticulously curated selection of British and German kitchens that combine exceptional craftsmanship with the personalisation modern homeowners demand. Whether you’re based in Truro, Padstow, Falmouth or St Ives, our team brings bespoke kitchen design to homes across Cornwall.
What Defines a Designer Kitchen?
A designer kitchen isn’t just a beautiful space — it’s a statement of individuality, a reflection of your lifestyle, and a room built for both elegance and utility. Unlike off-the-shelf options, designer kitchens are completely tailored to your taste, layout requirements and aesthetic preferences.
At Torben Schmid Kitchens, we specialise in designer kitchens, and no two designs are ever the same. We take time to understand how you live, cook and entertain, and the result is a carefully considered kitchen that fits your home and habits perfectly — whether you’re refurbishing a townhouse in Penzance, a coastal cottage in Polzeath, or a countryside retreat in Tregony.


Why Choose a Designer Kitchen in Cornwall?
Cornwall’s varied property styles — from Georgian terraces in Truro to modern coastal homes in Newquay — demand a nuanced design approach. A designer kitchen provides:
- Tailored functionality: Layouts that enhance flow, storage and daily usage.
- Premium materials: From silky matt finishes to richly textured stone-effect doors.
- Stylish longevity: Design choices that blend trend-aware aesthetics with timeless appeal.
- Smart appliance integration: Discreet technology that complements the look without cluttering it.
At Torben Schmid, we carefully adapt each design to suit both the building’s heritage and your personal style, whether it’s a shaker kitchen for a period farmhouse or a streamlined handleless setup for a modern renovation in St Agnes.
Designer Kitchen Features That Set You Apart
Every Torben Schmid kitchen is thoughtfully crafted with premium materials, intelligent functionality, and a design ethos tailored to your lifestyle. These standout features bring sophistication, efficiency, and individuality to the heart of your home. Here’s what elevates our designer kitchens in Cornwall from the ordinary to the exceptional:
- Furniture That Performs and Inspires
We specialise in Bauformat’s seamless German engineering and Daval’s traditionally crafted British cabinetry. From modern matt to painted Shaker doors, we offer both aesthetic variety and solid build quality.
- Clever Storage Solutions
A designer kitchen is as much about function as form. Think larders with internal drawers, pocket doors to conceal prep areas, and zones for every stage of cooking.
- Smart, Integrated Appliances
We are proud to work with:
- Bora: Known for its integrated hob and extractor systems.
- Miele: Elegant, intuitive, and reliable.
- Quooker: The ultimate boiling-water tap.
- RørosHetta: Sophisticated extractor hood options.
- Luxury Kitchen Worktops
Choose from ultra-durable Dekton, low-maintenance Silestone, or seamlessly moulded Corian. Our team will guide you on what’s best for your layout and lifestyle.
- Bookmatched Detailing and Pocket Doors
Our latest showroom display showcases a full bookmatched Dekton worktop with pocket door cabinetry — a stylish way to conceal ovens or coffee stations when not in use.


Current Trends in Designer Kitchens Cornwall
