In a world where a more sustainable lifestyle is a shared aspiration, the best-made kitchens need to work hard. Here, we explore eight ways Neptune kitchens epitomise a commitment to circularity, quality and longevity.
No. 1
A one-hundred-year mindset
We believe your kitchen should be with you for the long haul. It’s why we design furniture to last for a hundred years and more. The timeless styles, quality materials and classic joinery of our kitchens take an enduring approach that stands firm against fleeting trends and champions anti-waste and anti-throwaway culture.
No. 2
Lifetime guarantee
Kitchens should be able to withstand everyday family life and still give you a lifetime of use. It’s why, when fitted by our accredited installers, our kitchens come with a lifetime guarantee: a promise to continue to care for and maintain your kitchen’s cabinetry, handles, hinges and more, so you can continue to enjoy them.
No. 3
Paints, with conscience
While you may have pondered the colour of your kitchen paint, you might not have ever considered its formula. Made in Britain by our partner with five generations of expertise, Neptune paint is waterbased, low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and practically odour free. This means it’s a good option for your home, the environment and your health. With our kitchens built to last a lifetime, the painted cabinetry can also be touched up over the years, giving it a new lease of life.
No. 4
Smart solutions
It’s often the clever details in a kitchen – like fold-out drying racks or built-in bins for recycling, general waste and food – that you might not have thought about, but that will help you lead a more eco-conscious lifestyle. We offer three types of bin cabinetry, which can be used individually in smaller spaces or mixed together, and then discreetly hidden behind a run of beautiful cabinetry.
No. 5
Material matters
No. 6
Traditional craftsmanship
The beauty in a more sustainable kitchen should go far beyond the exterior. Open the doors of our cabinets and you’ll find precise mortise-and-tenon joints; pull out a drawer and you’ll see that it’s secured with classic dovetails. Everything we do is rooted in traditional cabinet-making principles that have proven their strength and endurance over centuries – and look beautiful, too.
No.7
Planting for our planet
No. 8
The flexibility of freestanding
The most sustainable kitchen designs should evolve to reflect your needs. Each Neptune cabinet is crafted as an individual piece of solid wood furniture, meaning the footprint of your kitchen can be completely reimagined as your family changes and living spaces adapt. Cabinets can be moved from room to room (or even to a different house altogether), just as our co-founder John Sims-Hilditch has done with his original, twenty-five-year-old Chichester kitchen.
