The kitchen is the heart of the home, and as well as meeting the practical requirements associated with cooking and preparing food, your kitchen can make a wonderful, cosy and inviting space to spend time with friends and family. Adding a few bespoke touches to your design is a great way to communicate your individual style.
Add a pop of colour
When it comes to communicating your personality and setting the tone of your room, colour is undoubtedly the first thing to consider. From sunny yellows to sultry plum hues and wholesome greens, adding colour to your kitchen will immediately capture the character of your space. If you don’t fancy going all out with a striking top-to-toe colour scheme, introducing an accent to an island, pantry cupboard, or a single row of units makes a great alternative.
Create a feature with tiles
Versatile and stylish tile feature walls or splashbacks present a great opportunity to add a bespoke touch. From vintage metro tiles in a bold colour to stunning contemporary geometric patterns, there are hundreds of options at your disposal.
Make a statement with bar stool seating
Bar stools don’t just make a luxurious laidback place to perch. Your choice of stylish bar stools has the potential to transform the look and feel of your space — whether you go for a design that ties your scheme together or opt for a quirky contrasting style or colour.
Create a sense of warmth with wood
Natural wood is ideal for adding a touch of warmth and softness. If you’re put off by the maintenance associated with wood worktops, a bespoke breakfast bar or storage alcove makes a lovely way to feature wood in your kitchen.
Show off your favourite ornaments
A sleek shelf or alcove makes the ideal place to display your favourite collection of artwork, ornaments and houseplants, adding a personal bespoke touch to your interior.
Create a display within your island
Keeping surfaces clutter-free is a must when it comes to cooking and cleaning. Integrating a bespoke alcove or butcher’s block into the end of an island is a fantastic practical solution to showcasing stylish crockery and recipe books.
Combine practicality and style
Creating your perfect bespoke kitchen is all about finding solutions that work for you. Baskets on runners, for example, can bring a charming, homely touch while doubling up as handy extra storage.
Plan a bespoke seating area
Whether you could use somewhere to keep an eye on the kids while cooking or love entertaining, adding a seating area to your kitchen is a wonderful way to get more from your space. If a separate dining table is too much of a squeeze, a bespoke dining island or bench seat makes a lovely, cosy feature.
Add a custom window bench
A bespoke window seat that doubles up as storage could be the ideal place to keep the kids’ toys, the pet’s bits and bobs or your wellies and outdoor gear.
Make the most of your space
From window seats to cocktail bars, there are plenty of ways to make the most of awkward or unused spaces. Why not design your own bespoke unit and create the wine bar, baking area or entertainment hub of your dreams?
Elevate your kitchen with stylish lighting
Even your choice of light fitting can have a dramatic effect on the look of your room. As well as emphasising a statement island or dining area, eye-catching pendant lights make a beautiful finishing touch.
