Crafted for living
Kitchen Flair was established in the early 1990s by Tino Libertini. Arriving with his father from Italy in search of a different life, Tino worked in the family business making kitchen cabinets and furniture for schools. By his mid-30s, he had already gained years of expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit that drove him to set up on his own. Tino’s Italian heritage was hugely influential in getting the business off the ground; fusing classic Italian work ethic and design flair with quality craftsmanship and materials – an ethos we still continue today.
A leading supplier
From humble beginnings in local kitchen retail our passion and drive saw the business grow organically. An opportunity to expand into national trade sales arose and since then, the business has gone from strength to strength. Kitchen Flair is now a leading kitchen supplier for the northwest and the whole of the UK.
Fine craftsmanship
Today, Kitchen Flair remains a progressive, family-run enterprise carrying on the legacy of combining quality craftsmanship and materials with Italian design panache. Each kitchen or bedroom is made to order, carefully considered and each approached individually in the workshop; it’s uniquely yours
Bespoke design
We understand that no two customers are the same, and therefore no two kitchens should be the same. Nothing we create is standard, and we are proud to say that the Kitchen Flair brand has become synonymous with quality and innovation in its own right.
