Independent living

tailored to you

Everyone should be able to use and enjoy their kitchen, it’s the hub of the household and a space to bring people together. A place to experiment, create and entertain without limitations.

This is why we partnered with the UK’s leading accessible kitchen designer Adam Thomas, to provide attractive, accessible and empowering kitchens, offering you the freedom of independence in your kitchen. With Freedom, the design can be truly universal for all the family to use and enjoy, ensuring your kitchen space is fit for purpose; for years to come.

Freedom is available through retail partners around the UK and direct from Symphony to new build developers and social housing providers.

Welcome to Freedom.

Safety

A fundamental principle of inclusive design is ensuring safety throughout so we can create a space that reduces the risk of injuries and falls. This needs to be considered at every stage of planning and includes the layout of kitchen cabinets to the height of ovens and work surfaces. Features such as waterfall edge worktops to limit spillages and heatproof reduced depth sink basins are highly recommended whilst additional features such as Induction hobs, ovens with slide and hide doors and pull-out tables help to create a safe environment.

Style

Style should never be compromised in a Freedom design. Using a combination of finishes on tall and base cabinets and effective contrasts in colour between frontals, worktops, floors and walls ensure a modern style and can make it easier and safer for anyone with visual impairment to move around.  Finishing touches such as lighting can also offer better visibility as well as boost mood and wellbeing.  Statement pieces such as larders for the ultimate compact storage to adjustable height work surface space can make the kitchen ideal for all the family to enjoy.

Smart Flexibility

With a Freedom design you can benefit from features such as electric rise and fall worktops and wall cabinets that can be adjusted by the user at the push of a button. Innovative oven housings, extendable pull-out tables and easy reach wall cabinet pull-down baskets all offer convenient access to kitchen essentials to create a space for independence.

Storage

Storage made easy, designed for both accessibility and generational needs.  With a freedom design customers can benefit from easy reach wall cabinet pull down baskets,  quick access to crockery and utensils in pull out pan drawers, along with clever storage such as 90° rotating larders and pull out corner cupboard storage for those awkward to reach spaces.
