Our history
We are a third-generation family firm with over 75 years of expertise and experience with kitchens and fitted furniture.
In 1946, the Arlington Barfitting Company was created by brothers Walter and Leslie Abrahams to manufacture quality fitted furniture for bars, clubs, hotels and restaurants.
In the early 1960’s, Arlington began manufacturing kitchens and fitted bedroom furniture for the discerning customers of the East Riding of Yorkshire.
In the late 1970’s Arlington become importers, designers and installers of high-quality German kitchens.
In the 1990’s, Walter’s son Barry moved The Arlington Group to Leeds, opening our vast showroom in 2003 to display our beautiful kitchens for private customers. In 2023, Barry’s son Colin became Managing Director to progress our business for another generation.
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
Our discreet showroom offers endless inspiration through a wide variety of beautiful kitchen displays, alongside fitted furniture concepts throughout your home.
We also showcase many interesting and exciting appliances, surfaces and finishing touches, some of which are exclusive to Arlington Design. These have been curated to give your home the "wow factor" whatever your budget may be.
Our team of expert designers are available to guide you through what is possible and advise upon current and forecasted fashions.
When we have designed the optimum layout to your preferred style, we will create beautiful 3D renders of your home's internal space, so you can virtually experience it within our high-tech demonstration room.
When you are happy with the appearance and specification of your new interior, we will arrange and orchestrate the manufacture and instillation of your kitchen.
We can either have your furniture delivered at your convenience or our highly skilled and experienced installers can make the dream come true.

At Arlington Design, we take responsibility for the impact of our business on the environment. Our quest to become a sustainable company means almost all the wood we source is from certified forest areas. Our strict quality control ensures the excellence of our product is maintained and our kitchens can last a lifetime.
