Are the Italians really the greatest designers of contemporary kitchens?


Synonymous with skilled craftsmanship, a British made kitchen is assumed to be of premium quality, and that’s certainly true with the fabulous handcrafted Davonport kitchens that we offer at Ray Munn.

However, like everything, one style doesn’t always suit all, especially as English made kitchens classically tend to be painted, of a more traditional door style detailing, or both, and this isn’t to everyone’s taste. So, when a customer or client requests a minimal or modern style of kitchen, we tend to look to our premium designer Italian kitchens. Oozing with contemporary looks, the Italians really know how to make a kitchen shout ‘style’!


timeless italian kitchen ideas

Take a look at our Italian kitchens…

Our most popular choice of Italian kitchens is our Arredo 3 range. Along with their sophisticated door styles, offered in a wide range of matt and gloss door finishes, they also offer sumptuous veneers and eye-catching lacquers and laminate options too. 


It isn’t the finishes alone that make these kitchens so popular either! Their universal appeal enables them to be used in all house types.

Whether you own a warehouse conversion, penthouse apartment, or a period Victorian or Edwardian property, our Italian kitchens and especially our Arredo 3 range look just fabulous, no matter what the property type is.

The Italians’ attention to finite details is impeccable too!

Equally as sleek as classical dovetail drawer boxes, the Arredo 3 range has drawers which are streamlined in appearance, and glide effortlessly to fully extend for ease of use.


The Arredo 3 collection offers something a little different…

From a handleless door or a ‘J’ shaped handle detail, disguised within the top lip of the door itself, to a somewhat eclectic mix of visually striking tactile materials, seamlessly juxtaposed to the next, the permutations of choosing an Arredo 3 kitchen are endless!

Similarly, striking floating shelves and ‘grid like’ racked shelving become ‘works of art’ in their own right!

The choice of lighting is equally impressive, illuminating the work-surfaces and feature island units, to ensure that food preparation and cooking is safe without compromising on the overall stylish looks of your new kitchen.

Lastly, the stylish way the Italians cite different worktop surfaces next to each other really sets the precedence for a truly stunning kitchen design.

Ultimately, it’s not about whether an Italian kitchen is better than a British made one, it’s about being able to personalise your new kitchen to suit your taste, style and budget.
