In todays blog post we wanted to talk about the heart of the home… the kitchen. It is such an important space and a well designed kitchen can bring so much joy into a home. With so many beautiful kitchen designs to chose from its important you pick the right design that works well for you and your lifestyle. A custom kitchen is a space that our head designer designs according to your unique needs, whether you have a small space for a kitchen or a big one, our head designer will make a unique plan for you. A custom design makes all the difference and will help you really get the most from the space you have.

Over recent years, kitchens have moved away from being solely practical and in favor of being more versatile, suitable for entertaining and relaxing as well as cooking. Krissy who is our head designer will always keep this in mind and look to create a kitchen design that is open and inviting, and that can facilitate entertaining and cooking simultaneously.

Our head designer, will consider the area, the aesthetic features including paints and colors, materials, style, and details. The first steps towards your custom kitchen start with Krissy visiting the space so she can see the area and learn about your plans for the kitchen. Important questions to think about are How you will be using the space, How much time will you be spending there? Will you be entertaining there? These are really key questions you need to consider.

With so many things to think about it can be quite overwhelming however, the 5 main elements to a bespoke kitchen are: #1 Cabinets, #2 Tiles, #3 Light Fixtures, #4 Your Personality, and #5 Your Needs. It’s worth exploring new and interesting splashback and flooring options. Bespoke kitchens allow you to not be confined by traditional placements or materials. Investing in good-quality and beautiful cabinets is a worthy investment as they will never go out of style and you will have them forever. Lighting can be key in kitchen designs, in the photos above you can see we have mixed spot lights with beautiful ceiling pendants over the breakfast area. The ceiling lights add a contemporary focal point to the room while the spot lights add practicality, so its a really important decision to discuss when designing your kitchen.

Developing a bespoke kitchen is an opportunity to consider how you use your kitchen and therefore which elements to focus on.
