Freedom Kitchens by Symphony:
Accessible, Stylish, Empowering
At the heart of many homes lies the kitchen — a space of gathering, nourishment, and daily life. But what if your kitchen could adapt to you? Freedom Kitchens by Symphony is our specially designed range of accessible, multi-generational kitchens, created to give people independence, comfort, and confidence in their own home.
Why Choose a Freedom Kitchen with Thomas Vaughan?
Independence & inclusion
Freedom Kitchens are designed so that everyone—regardless of mobility or reach—can use their kitchen with ease. From wheelchair users to older adults, our solutions promote dignity, safety, and autonomy.
Optimised storage & layout
From rotating larders and pull-out corner storage to deep pan drawers and easy-reach cabinets, every inch is designed for functionality. We use smart mechanisms so what was once awkward is now effortless.
Safety first
We embed safety at every turn. Waterfall edge worktops reduce spill risk. Heat-proof, reduced-depth sink basins minimise hazards. Induction hobs offer safer cooking surfaces. And we incorporate features like ovens with slide & hide doors and built-in pull-out heatproof shelves to reduce bending or reaching.
Beautiful design without compromise
We believe accessibility should also be elegant. Through contrast in colour and materials, clear visual cues, and thoughtful lighting, our kitchens are not just functional—they’re stylish. The result: a space that looks great and works for everyone.
Smart adjustability
Our kitchens adapt to you. Electric rise-and-fall worktops with safety stops let you position your surface at the ideal height. Drop-down wall cabinets bring contents within reach. Pull-down baskets and extendable tables give you flexible, ergonomic access to storage and prep space.
Design Philosophy & Expertise
Freedom Kitchens is developed in collaboration with Adam Thomas Consultancy, a leading name in accessible kitchen design. With over 40 years’ experience and many projects behind him, Adam has established design principles that balance aesthetics, functionality, and empowerment.
His credentials speak volumes: inclusion in the Shaw Trust Disability Power 100 list, a KBB Lifetime Achievement Award, co-authoring key guides on wheelchair housing design, and many accolades for inclusive design. With his influence, Freedom is more than a kitchen range — it’s a new standard in inclusivity.
