Creating a Bespoke Kitchen: Everything You Need To Know

Your kitchen is the beating heart of your home. It’s where unforgettable memories are made, whether they are spent cooking traditional family meals, or hosting last-minute dinner parties for friends. That’s why it’s important that you love every single part of it, for now and the future years ahead.

For many people, a dream kitchen is easy to visualise, but difficult to find – let alone perfect down the very finest of details. That’s why plenty venture into creating their own, bespoke kitchen that’s tailored to their preferences and personal styles.

What Is a Bespoke Kitchen?

If you want to put a personalised spin on your kitchen, you can do this by redesigning your space so that it is unique to you.

The term ‘bespoke’ relates to something being made-to-order, with specifications directed by the client based on their needs and wants. With kitchens, the exact same applies. Nothing is standardised or rigid with rules. Rather, every single design decision is completely up to you. At Kitchen Design house, this is the mantra we live by, so that you’ll love your new kitchen as it will have been handpicked by you, and handmade by us.  

What Is Involved in Creating Bespoke Kitchens?

Getting started can often be the hardest part. But with the right amount of inspiration and guidance, we guarantee your project plan will fall into place. 

For every kitchen, there are key elements that will always be needed. This is often the best place to start when contemplating and creating your bespoke kitchen. Below is a list of what core things you should consider:

Cabinets

Cabinets are the focal point of your kitchen. They not only store everything from cleaning appliances to cooking utensils inside – they also consume the bulk of your kitchen’s visuals from the outside. Therefore, they are an essential component to consider. We recommend having a browse through our recent projects for inspiration. Or, you can look to helpful sites like Pinterest to create your own mood board. You can always send this to us so we can get an idea of your personal style, too.

Tiles

From matte to gloss, patterned to herringbone – it is worth exploring both traditional and unconventional tile styles to find your perfect fit. Tiles are an important part of your kitchen: they offer a chance to create either a seamless or bold feature, plus they provide a robust layer of backsplash protection from everyday tasks like cleaning and cooking. Check out our Instagram page for some interesting combinations to catch your eye.

Worktops

Worktops need to be durable as well as pleasing to the eye for when you’re chopping, cooking and serving. It is a prominent feature no matter what you’re using your kitchen for at any time of the day. We advise taking a look through our kitchens to spark your curiosity and imagination. Choose from laminate to marble, wood to concrete – the possibilities are truly endless! 

Islands

Islands are becoming increasingly popular for adding an extra layer of interest to kitchens. Not only this – they offer great storage solutions, a convenient place to dine, and are an innovative way to utilise kitchen space. Islands are a contemporary choice, but can be made to emanate a traditional look and feel – that’s the beauty of bespoke kitchens. For examples of our bespoke islands and our latest work – check out our Facebook page.

Your Personality

Your kitchen is a personal place that provides both relaxation and socialisation. Therefore, it is essential that you put your heart into it so that visitors can feel welcome, and you can feel truly at home. We have worked with people of varying aesthetics, from traditional, minimal, playful, cosy and many more. What’s more, is that we offer over 200 colours, the ability to mix and match frames and cabinets and a wide range of woods to give you true freedom to express yourself.
