Planning Your New Bespoke Kitchen

By Stephanie Keen


If you are thinking about purchasing a quality bespoke kitchen for your home it would be wise to begin with some planning. Good planning is fundamental to good kitchen design. This planning process helps you to establish your end goal in detail.

Closely examining your present kitchen is a useful place to start. This will help you to assess the amount of storage space you are likely to need. Think about what is working well now and which parts drive you nuts. Forget about your opinions regarding the look of your present kitchen and focus on practicality alone at this stage.

Be realistic about what is possible depending on your space and your budget. After all, you may have trouble squeezing a range oven, large table and chairs and numerous appliances in if are working with a space that is only just larger than a cupboard.

Do explore your options thoroughly. Clearly outline items that you are definite about and a wish list of elements you would love to include. Examine what would work best in your space to make it as functional as possible. Many homeowners find that once they have expressed their ideas to a kitchen designer, they are blown away by the possibilities created by clever design.

Make a birds eye view plan of the room using cabinets and appliances you can rearrange. Although you may or may not be able to move structural elements within the space such as windows and doors, do not get unnecessarily caught up with trying to maintain the present position of electric and plumbing connections. This may compromise your design in a big way and these connections are often not as hard as you might think to alter if you need to.

Once you are happy with your plans, you can start to think more regarding the style and appearance of your new kitchen. Select a style you like, by looking at decor magazinesand showrooms for inspiration and ideas. Work out your colour scheme and think about finer details such as handles and finishes.

Armed with your planning you are prepared for contacting some companies to obtain quotes. Select companies with a good reputation for providing a high quality service. Bespoke kitchens are an important investment that is likely to add significant value to any home. Prior to offering you a quote, a representative will visit you to discuss your plans. All of the research you have done will assist you to remain focused. It is wise to obtain a few different detailed quotations.

Bespoke kitchens combine great style and quality. A one off handcrafted kitchen will be durable and will last for many years. There is no comparison to a bespoke kitchen when it comes to quality kitchen design.
