Freestanding Kitchen Cupboards

Our kitchen cupboards are available in a range of beautiful wood types and finishes. The Chester collection features high-quality oak veneer tops with a white wax tinted oil finish, paired with painted panels in Chester Charcoal, Chester Classic Cream, Chester Dove Grey, Chester Forest Green, Chester Midnight Blue, or Chester Pure White. The Inglesham Whitewash Oak collection showcases solid oak with a hand-applied whitewash finish to enhance the wood's natural grain. The Stow collection is crafted in Stow Warm White.

The assembly varies depending on which cupboard you choose. Our Chester Dove Grey narrow larder, Inglesham Whitewash Oak shaker cupboard, Chester Dove Grey shaker cupboard, Chester Dove Grey utility cupboard, Chester Charcoal utility cupboard, Chester Charcoal shaker cupboard and Stow Warm White narrow single larder arrive fully assembled and ready to use. The Chester double and triple larders (available in Dove Grey, Charcoal, Pure White, Midnight Blue, Forest Green and Classic Cream) and Inglesham Whitewash Oak double larder are delivered part-assembled – the base and top sections arrive fully assembled, but you'll need to secure the two sections together.

Yes, the cupboards in the Chester range work beautifully together. All Chester designs feature the same signature style with oak veneer tops and painted finishes, so you can mix different pieces – like larders, cupboards and utility units – to create a cohesive look. The range is available in Chester Dove Grey, Chester Charcoal, Chester Pure White, Chester Midnight Blue, Chester Forest Green and Chester Classic Cream, giving you flexibility to match or complement your existing kitchen furniture.

The cupboards in the Chester range are made using traditional woodworking methods, including mortise and tenon joints for the solid wood frames. This joinery technique provides extra strength and durability. The drawers feature dovetail joints, which further enhance the structural integrity and ensure the furniture is built to last.

Yes, free wood samples are available for our cupboards. You can request a sample to see how the finish will look in your home before ordering. Simply look for the 'Request a free wood sample' option on the product page, or visit our wood samples page to view all available finishes. Samples are typically delivered within a few working days, helping you choose the perfect finish for your space.

To keep your cupboards looking their best, dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, then dry thoroughly to prevent watermarks. Never use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners as these will damage the finish. If your cupboards have a wax or oil finish, treat them periodically with a suitable furniture wax or oil to protect and maintain the wood.

Your kitchen cupboards come with The Cotswold Company 15-year Structural Guarantee for added peace of mind. This covers all structural elements including frames, joints, hinges and handles. Find out more about our 15-year guarantee.

Yes, all our cupboards are made from sustainably sourced materials. We're passionate about using responsibly sourced timber and trace the chain of custody all the way from the trader and logger right back to the source forest. All forests are licensed and located in countries where those licences include sustainable reforestation. Our oak originates from either the USA or Germany, and our pine from New Zealand, Brazil or Bulgaria, depending on the range. You can find out more about how we source our wood here.
