At By Design Cambridge, we design far more than kitchens. Using premium European furniture systems, we create cohesive whole-home interiors that flow seamlessly from room to room.
From kitchens and living spaces to bedrooms, media centres and bathroom furniture, everything is designed as one considered interior — not a collection of unrelated pieces.
Modern homes benefit from a joined-up approach to design. When interiors are planned in isolation, styles clash, storage is wasted and the home never quite feels finished.
Our approach is different.
We work with high-quality European manufacturers such as Nobilia to design furniture systems that can be used throughout your home — ensuring consistency, quality and long-term value.
We offer fully integrated interior solutions, including:
Kitchens – precision-engineered, beautifully planned
Living rooms & media centres – with hidden cable management and integrated lighting
Bedroom furniture & fitted wardrobes – calm, practical, made-to-measure
Bathroom furniture – moisture-resistant, design-led and coordinated
Storage & shelving systems – flexible, modular and future-proof
All finishes, colours and layouts are designed to work together across your home.
Our clients choose us because we offer:
A single designer and clear design vision
German-engineered furniture systems built to last
Honest, transparent pricing — no artificial discounts
Designs that prioritise function as much as appearance
A home that feels cohesive, calm and intentional
Whether you’re renovating, extending or completing a new-build, we help you plan your home as a whole.
If you’re looking for whole-home interior design in Cambridge, not just a kitchen showroom, we’d love to help.

🏡 Design your home — by design
Modern living spaces revolve around technology, but nobody wants to see messy wires. Using Nobilia and Ballerina living furniture, we design media walls and TV units with:
Integrated media panels and bridges to hide cables, sockets and power supplies
Floating base units and wall-hung cabinets for a lighter, more architectural look
Open shelves and glass display cabinets to showcase books, art and favourite pieces
Optional LED lighting to gently highlight your screen and shelving
Whether you prefer ultra-matt anti-fingerprint fronts or warm timber décors, we’ll create a media centre that feels calm, uncluttered and tailored to the way you relax.
Because Ballerina and Nobilia use the same décors across their ranges, we can specify:
Sideboards and lowboards that match your kitchen fronts or worktops
Wall shelves and bookcases built from the same carcase system as your cabinetry
Dining and coffee tables with coordinated veneers, concrete looks or lacquered finishes, including extendable designs for entertaining.
The effect is a truly holistic living space – your kitchen, dining and lounge areas all visually connected, but each still practical for everyday life.

Using German wardrobe and living elements, we can design:
Full-height sliding door wardrobes with generous internal storage
Hinged door wardrobes with integrated drawers, pull-out rails and accessories
Open dressing areas with feature shelving, LED-lit niches and coordinated chests of drawers
Because these systems are designed alongside the kitchen ranges, you benefit from:
Robust, high-density carcases
Quality hinges and soft-close runners
A wide choice of matt, gloss, wood and anti-fingerprint finishes
We can also use the same furniture to create hallway storage, boot rooms and utility spaces – ideal for hiding coats, shoes, laundry and household clutter while keeping everything easily accessible

From cosy kitchen-diners to open-plan living, we offer a carefully curated selection of German dining tables and coffee tables to complement your cabinetry:
Fixed and extendable dining tables with clever pull-out mechanisms – perfect for family gatherings and dinner parties
Coordinated chair and bench options for a relaxed, sociable feel
Coffee tables and side tables in concrete, oak and walnut looks that tie your living space together. and considered.

Nobilia’s dedicated bathroom collection brings the durability of kitchen furniture into a moisture-rich environment, with:
Water-resistant carcases and robust, easy-care surfaces
Wall-hung vanity units to maximise floor space and make cleaning easier
Integrated storage for toiletries, towels and cleaning products, all neatly hidden away
Choose from:
Handleless, LINE N styles for a sleek, minimal look
Warm Scandi-inspired wood décors
High-gloss and ultra-matt finishes in contemporary, on-trend colours
Every bathroom has different demands: family-proof storage, easy access, or a hotel-style sanctuary. We’ll consider:
Who’s using the space – children, guests, multi-generational family
How much everyday storage you really need
Lighting, mirrors and layout to make the room feel calm, bright and spacious
As with all our projects, we can provide a full design, supply and installation service, coordinated with your tiles, sanitaryware and brassware from leading brands such as Villeroy & Boch, Keuco and Toto.
