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.

The simplest way to describe bespoke kitchens is that they are designed by the owner and built by the manufacturer. There are many companies that offer bespoke kitchens as part of their services, but not all of them are truly master cabinet makers capable of giving you real custom kitchens. One way to sniff out the fakes from the real bespoke furniture makers is by asking them if they can create an item that you can’t find in their brochures, catalogues, or website. “Bespoke” lets you decide what designs, styles, and furniture to use. If the manufacturer can’t do exactly what you want, then they’re faking it; the kitchens on display are just part of their pre-made selection. If you want to be sure that you’re getting truly unique bespoke kitchens, then trust only artisanal furniture makers like Anthony Warwick.

Features of Bespoke Kitchens
All bespoke kitchens have their own little features, such as hanging kitchen cabinets and preparation islands. Not only are you given free reign over which appliances and furniture to use in your kitchen, but you can also decide how these would look. If you’re having a difficult time trying to jumpstart your planning process, you can ask us for help. Good cabinet makers like us can give you samples of the types of furniture – and even records of prior projects – to set you on the right path and give you ideas on what you can work with.
Some items in bespoke kitchens include plate racks, wall cupboards, sink cabinets, shelves, tables, and chairs. Don’t be limited to the use of these pieces; let your imagination run wild and experiment with a few designs before finally settling for one which captures your personality and your requirements in terms of function.
Reasons to Get a Bespoke Kitchen
There are many reasons why people get bespoke kitchens instead of going for the traditional ones. One of the main factors is that they have unusually shaped kitchens which they don’t like to destroy, probably because of the unique form their kitchen has. Another factor is that they would end up with a kitchen that is truly theirs, since they were the ones who conceptualized the design.
While you are preparing your sketches and ideas for your very own bespoke kitchen, it is also important to consider the trends in furniture design. Some styles may be all the rage today, but they may not be trendy a few years from now. Instead of riding the trend, why don’t you skim across it instead? Do this by opting for classic pieces which can be both stylish yet functional, as what every kitchen should be.
