Naked Kitchens has strengthened its retail presence with the opening of a new 1,000sq ft showroom in Cambridge.

Located at 39 Regent Street overlooking Parker’s Piece, the two-storey space opened in May 2026 and serves customers across Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Hertfordshire, while also bringing clients closer to the company’s Norfolk manufacturing base.

The showroom features four kitchen displays – Coleridge, Madingley, Wimpole and Midsummer – alongside dedicated dressing room and home office settings, reflecting the retailer’s growing emphasis on whole-home joinery. Every display has been designed to encourage conversations around materials, colour, storage and layout rather than present a single finished look.

“We think of our showrooms as ‘reverse showrooms’ – because every Naked kitchen is fully bespoke, the space isn’t there to sell a fixed range but to spark ideas. It’s a melting pot of inspiration,” says Jayne Everett, founder and creative director at Naked Kitchens.

That approach is reinforced by carefully considered details throughout the showroom, from hidden flashes of colour to repeated reeded elements that connect the displays. Manufactured entirely at the company’s former WWII RAF hangar in North Norfolk, the space also showcases the business’s commitment to British manufacturing.

Among the four displays, Everett singles out the Midsummer kitchen as the standout. “The Midsummer island is a real showstopper. It’s part prep table, part gathering place, part centrepiece.

“It has the stability and usefulness of a workshop trestle but the presence of a beautiful piece of furniture you’d happily build a room around. It captures exactly what we believe a kitchen should be: somewhere family life actually happens.”

The showroom pairs Naked Kitchens cabinetry with appliance partners including Lacanche, Bora, Miele and Siemens, selected to complement each design scheme.

Everett believes the company’s vertically integrated manufacturing model remains its strongest differentiator. “Everything is made to order in Norfolk, and because our designers and makers are part of the same conversation, the answer to ‘can you just…?’ is almost always yes.

“There’s no chain of suppliers and middlemen adding markups, which is why the quality versus our price point is phenomenal – we offer truly wonderful value, and we never do sales because we price properly in the first place.”
