Coastal Interior Moodboard:
Hazy sunsets watched while we sink our toes into golden sand next to a sea vista… we’re loving UK staycations this year. Whether Whitby or Whitley, or a trip to the sunny south, the UK seaside has plenty to offer.
We are pleased to award our recently refurbished flagship furniture store in Nottingham as Store of the Month for July. As the UK’s largest Hammonds showroom, the newly fitted kitchen displays give customers a wider variety of choice to view.
Store manager Charlotte Stewart took some time out of her busy schedule to give us a better insight into what the new store offers customers.
We have 9 brand new kitchens, each with a different style to suit a variety of people’s wants and needs. The option to choose between traditional, shaker or contemporary ranges are endless. What’s more, we also have a display with see-through kitchen panels, demonstrating our interior storage solutions.
· Highbury
· Croft
· Liverton
· Loxely
· Marlow
· Harraton
· Newton
Our kitchen prices start from £3,000. If you’d like more accurate kitchen prices, visit our range page here.
I would recommend a light coloured, smooth-paneled cabinet like the Liverton matt, or Liverton gloss to reflect the light, giving the illusion of more space. Another great thing about the Liverton is the easy to clean, space-saving J-handle along the top or bottom of the cabinet.
Our clever craftsmen and designers maximise every inch of space available, so we have lots of different storage solutions to view here from larger units like the tandem larder pull out, to corner cupboards like the swing out Le Mans and the magic corner cupboard. Wine rack box units are great for storing spirits and wines in the pantry and pull out shelving is perfect for easy access.
My favourite is the one touch electric extractor, currently fitted in our Liverton range in store. It hides away easily and certainly wows guests by magically rising from the worktop at the press of a button. We also have a tap which dispenses boiling hot water, which saves time filling up the kettle.
Nottingham has a wide range of very popular restaurants so there are lots of food lovers in the city. I believe a Hammonds kitchen supplies the storage solutions and the modern appliances meaning anyone could step up their culinary game.
In our bedroom displays, the ranges we have are the painted Harpsden in rich praline, light praline, and stone. Vigo, Radely, Libretto, Palladian and Willesley. We also have the Willoughby, if you love the look and feel of real wood, this is available in light oak and espresso washed. Vigo and Willoughby are also available to view in home offices.
We have 92 kitchen door samples and numerous worktop samples and handles. We also have 97 bedroom furniture samples.
· Monday - Friday 10:00 am – 6:00 pm

It is lovely to work with a product of such high quality. I feel confident discussing with the customers about the variety of the ranges and their durability in the home. I particularly enjoy working in the Hammonds showroom in Nottingham because it is the largest Hammonds showroom. This keeps us busy as we have so many ranges on display to advise customers about.
We offer customers a free, fresh coffee and a selection of teas in the store to sip on while they browse the collection of ranges or Cafe101 is a 2-minute walk from the showroom.
There are lots of brilliant restaurants in Nottingham. I would recommend Sat Bains or Le Rock as they serve delicious food. Or why not visit the oldest pub in Europe? Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem, built within the stone caves, dating back to 1189 AD and is very charming.
If history is your thing, I’d recommend a visit to Nottingham Castle, dating back to 1067 AD built with orders by William the Conqueror. There is a lovely art gallery and collection of artifacts inside and a labyrinth of tunnels and caves which you can view on a tour. Other great places to explore are Newstead Abbey, Wollaton Park, the beautiful Sherwood Forest and of course our Hammonds showroom.

Despite the temperature taking its time to catch up (anyone else having to reach for their winter coat in the middle of April?), the evenings are finally brighter and days feel drier. Which means if you’ve been debating a house move… there’s no better time than now! Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or just relocating, spring is the perfect time for a new season in your life. The weather is usually mild, meaning no stressful moving of boxes in the sweltering sun, and the longer light is the best way to bring out your home’s full potential for buyers.
