Perhaps the ultimate luxury in interior design these days is a bespoke kitchen, which is a customized kitchen designed with your taste and functionality requirements in mind. If you wish to have a kitchen that is all you, it’s time to talk to master furniture makers like Anthony Warwick. We can create the bespoke kitchen of your dreams.
The two most popular styles for a bespoke kitchen are timber kitchens and painted kitchens. A timber bespoke kitchen can mix modern design with a Wild Western look, thus giving you a kitchen which is fresh, classic, and comfortable to work in. Painted bespoke kitchens can combine marble with steel and glass for a modern feel. It’s easy to imagine you’re a star chef in a famous cooking show while using a kitchen like that.
As glorious as these two styles may be, a bespoke kitchen isn’t necessarily limited to the designs provided in showrooms of the manufacturer or on the pages of a glossy magazine. The essence of a bespoke kitchen is infusing your preferences and tastes into what will be your kitchen, and the place where you will not only prepare food but also entertain guests for years to come.
How to choose the furniture maker to create your bespoke kitchen
Before taking up a manufacturer on his claim that the kitchens in his catalogue or website are bespoke, try ordering something which you can’t find on either resource. If he says he can’t give you what you need, then his work isn’t really bespoke. It’s a good idea to hire a cabinet maker with many years of experience and a long list of satisfied clients. Anthony Warwick, for example, has been around for more than 80 years.
What can you get out of choosing a bespoke kitchen?
A customized kitchen can be a bit pricier, but there are many benefits to investing in one.
First, you get a unique design. Everyone has different tastes, preferences, and ideas, and by spending a bit more money, you can get a kitchen that matches exactly what you want. You can also be sure that no one else in the planet has a kitchen the same as yours.
Second, if you have an unnaturally shaped kitchen (like an oval), then you might decide on a bespoke kitchen in order to maximize the awkward layout of your home.
Third, customized kitchens allow you to double the purpose of your space. Instead of just making the kitchen a food preparation zone, you can also make it an entertaining zone. Here in Anthony Warwick, we can help you test out the best layouts and configurations to make your kitchen an extension of your living space.

Contemporary bedroom furniture provides you with a relaxing atmosphere in one of the most important rooms in your house. This modern style uses as little colour as possible – usually just black, grey, white, and brown. The resulting design provides an elegant, relaxing mood which can greatly improve your sleep.
The sleek, refreshing designs provided by contemporary bedroom furniture have been incorporated into many themed furniture pieces. One example of these themes are the Japanese bedroom sets. Each bedroom set then follows a certain style, such as the Kenso style or the Kyoto style.
Contemporary Bedroom Furniture Pieces
The central piece in every bedroom is the bed, and there are many designs and styles for you to choose from. Everyone wants to get the right amount of sleep, and you can get this by choosing the right bed made well by master furniture makers.
There are five basic factors in choosing the right bed: its size, special features (is it a roll out bed? Does it have drawers for extra storage?), its height, the support it provides for your back, and how comfortable you are lying on it. Once you know these things, feel free to browse through the different beds in your local furniture store. You may not find the bed that would meet your exact specifications, but what’s important is you feel comfortable lying in it. After all, you’ll be using it for the next five years, so it’s best to make the most out of it.
Like most contemporary bedroom furniture, the beds vary in design and style, but always remember the things you require in a bed, and you won’t go astray. Other contemporary bedroom furniture you may need are dressers, night stands, armoires, and the chest of drawers. In most cases, you can buy these pieces plus the bed as a set. You can also have cabinet makers create bespoke cabinetry for your specific requirements.
Making Your Own Contemporary Bedroom
If you’ve just moved into a new home and are planning to redecorate your bedroom into that of a modern haven for you and your companion, here are four quick tips to make your own contemporary bedroom.
First, decide which colour your walls and floor would be. Remember that you’re going for a simple look, so go for white or natural colours such as beige. Next, pick out the contemporary bedroom furniture which goes best with your walls and floor. Complementary curtains or Venetian blinds and bedding come next, but don’t pile too many pillows on your bed.
The final touch is the bedroom accessories. Remember: steel, plants, art, bedside lamp, and clock. These are the building blocks of the contemporary aesthetic. Here in Anthony Warwick, we have a wide selection of furniture and accessories to give you an elegant bedroom. Call us at 01206 211227 or look at our online brochure for more information.
