The term ‘bespoke kitchen’ is often used too casually to describe any kitchen that has had some form of alteration, such as a change in the height, depth or width of a cabinet. However, the true definition of a bespoke kitchen is a kitchen that has been crafted and personalised for the needs of the individual and the space it occupies. If you want a particular shape or curve on a cabinet or worktop, and in a specific material, then this would be classed as bespoke. In this blog we look at why a bespoke kitchen is a desirable option for your home.

Benefits of choosing a bespoke kitchen

When you choose a bespoke kitchen, you have the flexibility to go beyond what you see on the shelves – the possibilities are endless. From bespoke cabinetry to bespoke features such as islands and pantry units, you can push the boundaries to create a kitchen that is truly unique to your specification.

• Personalised design – being able to personalise your kitchen is a big draw to choosing a bespoke kitchen. Personalisation can be anything from choosing your favourite colour or unique material to having your family name carved onto the furniture. You could even have a dedicated area crafted for your pet, such as a built-in dog bed and a treat drawer inscribed with your pet’s name.

• High quality cabinetry – with bespoke cabinetry you can expect high quality craftsmanship combined with the finest materials to get a kitchen built to last. You will often find traditional carpentry techniques are used to elevate a bespoke kitchen such as dovetail joints, corbels to shelves and layered cornices above units. Beautiful, curved furniture is also popular with bespoke kitchen designs and can be incorporated into drawers, islands, cabinets and worktops.

• All areas covered – if your room has existing pillars, low beams and awkward corners a bespoke kitchen can be designed around these features to work wonderfully with the space. For example, pillars can be turned into a feature bookcase, an unused corner can be turned into a compact boot area, or an awkward corner can be used for a corner coffee bar cabinet with bi-fold doors.

• Bespoke kitchen storage – if you want to improve the organisation of your kitchen items, then a bespoke kitchen can be your saving grace. Spice drawers are a great solution for neatly displaying herbs and spice bottles, while a wine drawer is perfect for laying out bottles of your favourite wine and fizz. For larger bespoke storage solutions, pantry cupboards, bar units and islands are perfect for organising your goods but also create focal points in your room.

• Mixing materials – another benefit of going bespoke is the ability to mix up your kitchen cabinets using different materials. Rather than using the same cabinet doors throughout your design you can break up a design using clear or fluted glass, mirrored or ribbed doors as well as wooden panels that can add a decorative element to your design.
