Many people might dismiss the idea of getting a bespoke kitchen out of hand, generally because of the cost implications. Why not head to Ikea and get yourself a cheaper kitchen? Well, there’s a variety of reasons why not.

Bespoke kitchens can meet your needs, both practically and aesthetically in a way mass manufactured kitchens simply are unable to, incapable of providing the same levels of tailored functionality, careful styling and level of fitting. Replacing an entire kitchen is always going to be expensive, so why not do it right? There are a multitude of benefits to bespoke kitchen design versus the mass manufactured alternatives.

Design and aesthetics is hugely important. When you are replacing a kitchen, there’s a reason why you don’t instantly throw in cheap, plain and functional units. That reason is aesthetics, and getting it just right can be a hard line to tread.

If you’re finding yourself trawling through Ikea, or another endless kitchen and bathroom showroom, looking at endless similar kitchen set-ups, each with parts that you like, but never quite the whole package, you know it’s time to start considering a bespoke handmade kitchen. Built and installed to your home and spec, and with all the little touches that you loved.

Bespoke kitchens are also great if you have specific needs, or simply want a more ergonomic kitchen. Personally, I’m very tall, and get severe backache working at counters and the sink when I’m there for long. A bespoke kitchen would be able to alter the heights of the units and cupboards to be ideal for someone who was small, tall or anything in between.

On top of this, bespoke designs can incorporate many devices and mechanisms to make things easier for the elderly, disabled or those with young children. If you have a specific set of needs from your kitchen, a bespoke design can meet them.

If you live in an older home, or maybe have a curved or unusually shaped kitchen, buying standardised kitchen fittings could prove an absolute nightmare. If your room is anything less than a standard, right-angle, straight box, then you are going to have to modify any mass manufactured kitchen fittings you buy.

A bespoke kitchen can incorporate these nuances into the design, and either accentuate features that you love, or make structural oddities seem much lesser. All while being your aesthetic ideal, and designed from the ground up to be ideal for your home and needs.

At its core, a bespoke kitchen is easier and more convenient. If you’re in any way a stickler for the design of your home, (with how much a new kitchen costs, you should be!) then a bespoke kitchen is ideal for you.

Instead of spending hours perusing suppliers, showrooms and hardware stores, simply speak to a great bespoke kitchen company, tell them your needs and likes and your homes nuances and measurements, and allow them to craft the kitchen that you’ve always wanted, but struggled to assemble on your own.
