Bespoke Kitchen Cabinets
At Plain English, we design and make cabinets the traditional way, by hand. Since our founding in 1992, we’ve been captivated by the joinery found in England’s great country houses. Our dedication to the art of making is unwavering, with a particular reverence for the Georgian era’s emphasis on form and proportion. This classical influence is a thread that weaves through every one of our designs, whether set in a modern urban home or a rustic countryside dwelling across North America, from the classic to the contemporary.
Benefits of Bespoke Kitchen Cabinets
Bespoke kitchen cabinets offer a unique opportunity to tailor your kitchen to your exact needs and lifestyle, adding exceptional value to your home experience.

Our custom kitchen cabinets are meticulously designed inside and out, with interior details as stunning as the exterior aesthetics. Every aspect of our kitchen design is carefully considered and personalized to reflect your style and preferences, ensuring that your kitchen is not only beautiful but also a perfect reflection of your lifestyle.

Your custom kitchen cabinetry style is an essential part of your kitchen’s overall design. Whether you prefer a traditional, modern, or eclectic style, our custom cabinets can be tailored to your personal taste, ensuring that your kitchen reflects your unique style and personality.
Innovative storage solutions are another hallmark of bespoke cabinets. Our cabinets are designed to maximize functionality and reduce clutter, with every drawer, shelf, and corner unit built to meet the demands of a high-end kitchen remodel.
Color and finish options further enhance the design possibilities. We offer a range of 50 paint colors exclusively to our clients, ensuring that you can choose a color scheme and finish that complements the rest of your kitchen. Every one of our cabinets is hand-painted by our finishing experts, adding a touch of finesse to our craftsmanship that sets us apart from the rest.
