When you commission a contemporary bespoke
kitchen, the crisp lines of modern designs will be arranged
exactly as you want them.
Consider bespoke kitchens and the first image
that comes to mind is the traditional solid-wood, country-style
affair with twirling pilasters and intricate mouldings.
But increasingly, bespoke is branching out into the modern
arena and designers are embracing the clean lines of contemporary
minimalism.
The desired look is simple but not stark.
Bright laminates, wood veneers, solid hardwoods, mellow
aluminium and streamlined runs of extra-wide pan drawers
are all trademarks of the modern tailor-made kitchen. Absolutely
the best thing about bespoke, though, is that the options
are limitless.
Individuality and Flexibility
Put quite simply, buying bespoke means that
you will have the pleasure of furniture designed specifically
for you. But the term is much abused in the kitchen industry.
Some companies attach it to ranges that consist of an impressive
variety of shapes, sizes and colours, but are nonetheless
far from one-off designs. You do, however, get a high degree
of individuality and flexibility with these systems.
Most bespoke designers specialise in a particular
style, so it makes sense to avoid a company renowned for
its rustic ranges if you are seeking a sleek, contemporary
design. But a genuine bespoke designer will be able to
create a unique kitchen. A good way to check whether you
are getting something absolutely bespoke - rather than
an existing range that has merely been tailored to fit
your home - is to ask for something that's not in the brochure.
If they can't accommodate, then they don't do bespoke.
