WE ARE ORIGINAL

CLIENTS COME FIRST

We put our clients first and create a comfortable environment where we can sit and discuss your ultimate dream kitchen. With a design lead approach, we do not agree with pressure sales or ‘the hard sell’. Together, we will listen to you and suggest design options that best suit you and your family’s lifestyle.

WORKING WITH OTHERS

We understand that taking on a renovation or building project is not always an easy process, therefore we will happily work with builders, architects and other trades to ensure clear communication throughout. We will produce plans and drawings to work from, so that things run smoothly.

PROFESSIONAL GRAPHICS

Creating professional 3D visualisations will provide you how precise ideas of what your new space will look like. The realistic graphics are especially immersive using our VR goggles, taking you into the virtual room.

Space fitting furniture timeline 1972-2019

1972

Fitted furniture was a new concept to the market.

Steve’s Dad, Melvyn Bloom, opened the first kitchen and bedroom showroom on Fredrick street, Cardiff City centre.

1975

The showroom moved to Whitchurch Road when St David’s shopping centre was built.

Rational German kitchens were introduced to the UK and Space fitting furniture were one of the first showrooms to take on the brand. As well as Rational, Neff was adopted as a premium appliance brand.

1979

Steve started working for the family business

At this point there were 3 generations working for the same company, as well as himself and his dad, Steve’s Grandma Ray would oversee the accounts.

1998

The showroom moved to another premises on Whitchurch road under Claire and Steve’s ownership

This was the first time they had the opportunity to showcase their own design ideas.

2006

The showroom moved to Colchester Avenue, this larger showroom was a great way to expand.

Bigger, more immersive displays allowed customers to visualise schemes and concepts.
