Bespoke Kitchens - Supply & Installation in Stotfold (10)

If you’re looking for a completely custom look, or you have an awkward space to fit your kitchen in, then it could well be worth getting a bespoke kitchen.

Bespoke kitchens come with many benefits and offer a perfect solution for many homeowners looking for a unique kitchen for their home. With a bespoke kitchen you can create the exact kitchen design you want and add a striking impact in your home.

And it’s not just about looking good. Custom kitchens provide the ultimate in functionality by allowing you to install the most useful features and appliances. They’ll also often use clever design tricks to make the most of space in ways you might not have thought of.

That said, they’re not for everyone – particularly if you have a limited budget, as bespoke kitchens are nearly always more expensive than standard off-the-shelf kitchen packages.

However, a bespoke kitchen could be the best option if you:

• Want a kitchen design that’s unique to your home

• Struggle to make the most of the kitchen space you have available

• Have an awkward kitchen layout

• Like the idea of choosing the exact style, layout and design of your whole kitchen

• Have a healthy budget for your new kitchen

Tips for drawing a kitchen floor plan

If you’re confident that you can put together your own kitchen design floor plan, we have a few tips that might help:

1. Make sure you leave space between fixtures and features to allow you a comfortable amount of room to prepare and serve meals, clean up, and entertain guests.

2. Cluster features and appliances to save time and effort, such as putting the fridge near the oven, or making sure the oven is close to the sink.

3. Create a space outside the kitchen to minimise clutter so that you have somewhere to dump bags, coats and post before you enter the kitchen.

4. Start with the sink as the jumping off point for your kitchen floor plan, as it’s undoubtedly where you’ll end up spending most time so you’ll want it be somewhere where you can look out a window, or into another room.

5. Place the oven on an exterior wall to avoid you the cost and hassle of having to install a proper ventilation system.
