Millionaire Kitchen Design Secrets: Full Coordination

Friday, 28th August 3:46pm 2026

Anyone who’s furnished a room will know how hard it is to find matching wooden furniture. You’ve probably said two pieces are “basically the same” yourself at one point only for some half-human, half-Photoshop-tool visitor to notice the difference immediately. “Oh, and that mirror’s wonky, too.”

When matching kitchen cabinet internals with extras, though, full coordination is easier, right? After all, it’s all from one kitchen supplier. Surely, they couldn’t mess up oak? Actually, many mainstream manufacturers use several suppliers. Their “oaks” aren’t always alike… unlike Masterclass Kitchens.

Indeed, Masterclass Kitchens can ensure full coordination, from luxury pantry storage to kitchen acoustic panels. As a result, our designers can create the sort of cohesion normally reserved for the clients of boutique carpentry houses. And in this article, we’ll show exactly how we’re leading the way.

Why More Wood Stain Options?

Before we go into the specifics, it’s important to note what makes a kitchen look expensive: total uniformity. Historically, this was a unique selling point of high-end craftsmen. Their logic was, if you pay for bespoke material cuts, everything will match. The catch: it would cost you a hundred grand.

“Off the shelf”, meanwhile, meant you’d have to settle for… close enough. (Yes, that makes our eye twitch, too.) The uniformity of your cupboard doors, worktops, handles, wall panels, shelves and internal cabinetry stains would rarely be perfect. At one point, that was fine as doors hid most storage.

These days, though, 94% of homeowners want speciality kitchen storage with beautiful internals. Kitchen cabinets no longer hide contents; they showcase them. Everything must be Instagrammable, including hidden kitchen storage. Luckily, Masterclass offers four stains across all our products.

Inside Kitchen Cupboards

Firstly, there are our light stains. Portland Oak – a long-term staple at our South-Wales-based manufacturing facility – offers the rustic warmth of a family home. Blonde Oak, a relatively newer addition, on the other hand, provides a fresh look, which is growing in popularity with our customers.

The key is in our manufacturing. Having brought production inhouse, we create cohesive oak-effect kitchen cabinets, plus all internal and exposed furniture features, in whatever range you choose. Take, for example, our all-wood cutlery dividers or our internal drawers. No need for plastic anywhere!

Fancy going darker? We have an answer for that, too. Introducing Tuscan Walnut and Espresso. The yin to our light stains’ yang, these options share their trajectory, the former a veteran while the latter appeared as a recent addition. Both connote affluence at every level in a fully coordinated kitchen.

Consider this Portobello wine cellar (above), created using dark walnut kitchen cabinets, wine drawers and kitchen wall shelving. The peak of elegance, it boasts wall-to-wall cohesion at an affordable price. Likewise, this handleless Siena range with Espresso handlerails and dressers couldn’t look sleeker.

On Cabinet Doors

Getting a consistent wood stain that spans your entire range of integrated kitchen storage can make it look premium but, in most cases, the stained areas create a better look accenting a larger canvas: the doors and worktops. That’s why we don’t limit our coordination efforts to just the cabinetry.

Indeed, a kitchen is more than just the shelves and drawer boxes. While we believe that the beauty of a kitchen isn’t skin deep, we understand that many homeowner priorities door colours and accessories over internals. Hence, we’ve cast our focus for full coordination across every aspect of our kitchens.

In particular, we refresh our colour range frequently, enabling customers to find a wonderful colour that matches their accessories and complements their stained woodwork. We do this by following broader fashion trends but still filter our proposed shades and tones to optimise for timeless design.

Across Classic and Modern Storage

So, that’s full coordination with your kitchen doors, accessories, internal cabinetry and fixtures. What’s left? Catering storage for all range styles! Not wanting to limit your storage choices for any ranges, we’ve created traditional and handleless variations of our entire bespoke kitchen storage collection.

Take, for instance, our Lansbury corner pantry. Previously, if you wanted this unique feature, it came in two stains and classic or Shaker door options. Now, though, you can get it in any door style and any of the four major stains. Want a Hatfield or Amalfi range? Either way, you can get a Lansbury.

You might have thought full coordination was a given. The truth, though, is most kitchen makers can’t fulfil it, and a bespoke craft service that offers a perfect match can cost six figures. Hence, for most people, Masterclass Kitchens alone can offer fully matching luxury without the premium price tag.
