Our Projects

The Brief

Carol and Colin had lived in their home for many years, raising their family there and creating a home full of memories. Now, with grandchildren visiting, they wanted to make the space work better for family life.

The aim was to open up the kitchen and dining area, creating a brighter, more sociable space that would flow through to the conservatory. They wanted a kitchen where the whole family could gather, cook, chat and enjoy time together.

The Transformation

Opening up the space involved removing a load-bearing wall, so our builder and structural engineer worked together to ensure the alteration was carried out safely and in accordance with the required Building Warrant.

Paula then designed the new kitchen alongside Carol and Colin, incorporating the features that were important to them, including a generous pantry unit, a wine cooler within the island, a boiling water tap and LED mood lighting around the worktops.  We also incorporated an existing walk in panty to the design allowing it to seemlessly blend in with the new kitchen style.

The result is a much brighter, open and sociable space, designed around how Carol and Colin now enjoy their home — with plenty of room for family, grandchildren and entertaining. And, as they told us themselves, they only wished they had done it years ago!

What Our Customers Say

“We only wish we had done it years ago!”

Although Carol and Colin didn't leave us a written review, this was one of those projects where their reaction to the finished kitchen said everything. They were delighted with the transformation and how much more open, bright and sociable their home now feels and so grateful with how smoothly the project was carried out from start to finish, partucularly with Craig's skill and attention to detail.

The Brief

Our customers wanted a kitchen that could do it all — generous worktop space for cooking and baking, a welcoming hub for family life, and a stunning space with a real wow factor for entertaining.

The Transformation

Craig and Paula designed a kitchen which allows Silvana to continue cooking her wonderful Italian recipes while still being part of the conversation with family and guests.

The island has become a natural gathering point with loved ones able to sit, chat and enjoy a drink, with a built in wine rack conveniently positioned just below the island worktop.

To add character and create a real focal point, Craig built a bespoke chimney breast, giving the kitchen a beautifully crafted, timeless feel. Opposite, a generous double-door pantry with drawers beneath provides practical storage, neatly positioned alongside the integrated fridge and freezer.

The result is a kitchen that combines beautiful design with the warmth, practicality and togetherness that family life and entertaining require.

What our Customers Say

As I said to Craig, you’ve been the dream team! Everything worked out perfectly well, it’s such a mix of modern, traditional, the beautiful oak breakfast bar… all with Craig's finishing touches!

The Brief

Kerry and Davie wanted a sleek, contemporary family kitchen with clean lines and, most importantly, no worktop clutter. They had two very specific requests: to conceal the hob when it wasn't in use and to create a substantial, floating seating area as part of the island.

The Transformation

Craig got his thinking cap on and created a real showstopper. At the heart of the kitchen is a large island, complete with subtle mood lighting beneath the worktop and a chunky laminate seating area that appears to float effortlessly on top of the quartz island.

The hob was cleverly concealed behind a bespoke unit with hinged doors, allowing it to disappear from view when not in use and maintaining the sleek, uncluttered look Kerry and Davie wanted.

The result is a modern family kitchen that combines clever functionality with striking design — proving that practical features don't have to compromise on style.

What our Customers say

One of my crazy ideas….everyone else just looked at me when I explained what I wanted.  I spoke to Craig who happily took the challenge on! Still one of my favourite part of my kitchen!

The Brief

Set within a characterful older home on the outskirts of Dumfries, Cath’s brief was a little out of the ordinary. She wanted to create a warm, inviting space for cooking and spending time with family and friends, with some very personal touches along the way.

The brief included soundproofing the walls, creating a bespoke window seat framed with decorative panelling, designing a bespoke TV cabinet and building a chimney mantel above the Aga.

The Transformation

Craig brought Cath’s vision to life, completing each of the bespoke elements to create a kitchen that feels as warm and individual as the home itself.

A built-in window table with seating and surrounding panelling to frame the window created a beautiful focal point, while the bespoke TV cabinet was designed to sit naturally within the room, hiding the TV away when not in use. Above the Aga, Craig created a bespoke chimney mantel, adding character and a traditional feel that perfectly complements the age of the property.

Paula worked closely with Cath to select the perfect colours to bring everything together. The warm tones of the kitchen, complemented by Cath’s choice of wall colours, create the inviting atmosphere she had envisioned — a space designed not just for cooking, but for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying time with family and friends.

What Our Customers Say

From the start, my kitchen project was ambitious for a relatively modest budget and I knew Hi-Line was going to finish it beautifully, but even I have been impressed by the standard of my new beautiful kitchen. We always knew there would be challenges to it, with it needing stripped back to its foundations, re-plastered, re-plumbed and re-wired as well as completely transformed but it has been beyond even my expectations.

I particularly trusted that I wasn’t oversold anything and was always being advised about affordable ways to achieve an expensive look and it has been finished to the same standard as a big-budget kitchen. It was all completed in incredible time despite me also adding a few requests along the way which Craig accepted with great tolerance!

I could not be happier with the finished product; the bespoke features, especially the breakfast bar and window surround have transformed the view from the room into the most incredible feature.

I cannot thank you both enough for a job extremely well done! x

The Brief

With a new orangery being added to the rear of their home, our customers wanted to transform their existing modern gloss kitchen into something warmer and more inviting.

The brief was to create a softer, more timeless feel, with a beautiful palette of colours, plenty of practical storage and stylish features that would complement the new orangery and create a seamless flow between the spaces.

The Transformation

Working closely with Carol, Paula created a design that combines a luxurious feel with the practicality needed for everyday family life, incorporating everything on Carol’s wish list.

Craig created a bespoke chimney breast as the focal point of the kitchen, finished in a soft Gravel Grey to add depth, character and a sense of quality to the design.

At the far end of the kitchen, a dedicated utility area was created with generous tall storage, cleverly concealing the washing machine and cleaning products behind tall Shaker doors in Seal Grey. This keeps the everyday essentials neatly out of sight while maintaining the calm, uncluttered feel of the kitchen.

The finished space is bright, warm and beautifully considered, with the new kitchen flowing seamlessly through to the orangery — creating a welcoming space that feels like a natural extension of the home.

What Our Customers Say

Although Carol and her family didn't leave us a written testimonial, their reaction to the finished transformation said everything. They were thrilled with their new kitchen and how beautifully it now connects with the orangery, creating a bright, welcoming space that feels completely at home in the property.
