DHC Designs · Kitchens
Find the one you fall in love with.
Every design below is a finished, buildable kitchen — cabinetry, counters, backsplash, hardware and lighting already chosen and proven to work together. Pick the one that feels like you, and we build it exactly.
The premise
Same kitchen. Different finishes. One decision.
A kitchen has more moving parts than any other room in the house — cabinet colour, door style, counter, backsplash, hardware, faucet, lighting, floor. Most projects lose weeks trying to hold all of it in their head at once.
So we did it differently. Below is one real DHC kitchen, finished a different way each time. The layout, the counters, the backsplash and the floor never move. Only the cabinetry and the metal change — which means you can actually see the difference a decision makes, instead of imagining it. Every product under each design is a real part number you can look up.

ExploreThe White
Bright without being cold. Warm white shaker cabinetry to the ceiling, a natural white-oak island with vertical panelling, brushed brass throughout and a soft calacatta-veined quartz that ties the two together. This is the one we built first — the photographs below are a finished DHC kitchen, not a rendering.

The Oak
The White, inverted. Natural white-oak cabinetry runs the perimeter and the island turns crisp white, with matte black hardware and a matte black faucet for contrast. Same counters, same backsplash, same floor — a completely different room.

The Olive
The colour the market moved to. Deep matte olive green on the perimeter against the natural white-oak island, with unlacquered aged brass that warms as it ages. Grounded and confident — and it reads as a decision rather than a default.

The Walnut
Warm, deep and quietly expensive. Rich matte walnut with straight grain across the perimeter, a warm cream island, antique brass hardware and smoked-glass upper doors. Brown cabinetry is back, and this is why.

How it works
From pick to finished kitchen.
Four steps, one contract, one crew. No showroom marathons and no surprise line items.
Choose the finish that feels like you. That one choice locks in cabinetry, counter, backsplash, hardware and lighting.
We measure, confirm the scope and the layout, and give you one clear lump-sum price.
Approve the exact door style, cabinet colour, sink, stone and metal finish — samples in hand before anything is ordered.
Demo through final trim, installed by our own crew, with one project manager start to finish.
What you always get
- Full-overlay cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers throughout
- Your choice of farmhouse apron-front or undermount sink at no change in price
- One metal finish carried consistently across hardware, faucet and lighting
- A dedicated project manager, and one lump-sum price
Every design is adjustable
- Swap the cabinet colour or the metal finish without redrawing anything
- Change the island size, or trade seating for storage
- Scale the layout to your actual room — galley, L-shape or U-shape
- Upgrade to natural stone, or add a panelled refrigerator and hood
