A kitchen, hidden in plain sight
A compact, fully functional cupboard kitchen for a customer waiting area in West Yorkshire

The team needed a solution that would:
- Work within a compact, customer-facing space
- Maintain a clean, uncluttered look when not in use
- Provide full kitchen functionality when required
- Be straightforward to install within an existing building
There was also a key practical consideration. Due to the layout of the space, the unit needed to be partially dismantled and rebuilt on site, which can often make installation more complex.
The solution
We supplied one of our cupboard kitchens, designed to deliver a complete kitchen solution within a compact footprint. When closed, the unit presents as a clean, minimal cupboard, helping the space feel tidy and professional.
When opened, it reveals a fully functional kitchen, including sink, storage, worktop and appliances.
The unit was:
- Compact and space-efficient
- Designed to blend seamlessly into the room when closed
- Fully functional when opened
- Built to allow flexible installation
This made it an ideal solution for a space where both appearance and practicality were equally important.
Installation
Due to the layout of the building, the unit was partially dismantled and rebuilt in situ.
Thanks to its modular design, this process was straightforward and completed without any issues, allowing the installation to fit around the existing space without disruption.

The finished space is clean, practical and works exactly as intended.
The cupboard kitchen sits neatly within the waiting area, maintaining a professional appearance when closed, while providing a fully functional kitchen when required.
It offers a simple, effective solution that works seamlessly for both staff and customers, without taking up unnecessary space.
Testimonial
John Briggs, Managing Director
“We purchased this kitchen cupboard from Elfin Kitchens while refurbishing our customer waiting room, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish.
I dealt with Neil, who was fantastic to work with. He took the time to talk me through the full specification and ensured we ordered exactly what we needed.
The unit was exceptionally well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. We needed to partially dismantle and rebuild it in situ, but it had clearly been designed with this flexibility in mind, so the process was straightforward.
Installation was very easy, the quality and finish are superb, and it looks fantastic in our refurbished space.
Top marks to the team…a job very well done. Fully recommended.”
