We love to constantly evolve and create bespoke designs for our clients. Here we share some of our design inspiration to help you think about your next kitchen project and the bespoke elements that could help you bring your dream to life.

Peg board drawers for storage – incorporating bespoke storage into the kitchen is one that sparks joy whenever it is in use. The peg boards detail in drawers are not only great for organising but it’s also a bespoke design detail that looks incredible.

Statement wood stain elements – this includes natural, stained, detailed or washed wood statement pieces such as islands, dressers or display units to bring warmth, elegance and luxurious textures into the kitchen space. 

Pops of bright colour – bright statement colours bring character and fun into a kitchen. By incorporating them into drawers, cabinets, backs of dressers or internal cabinetry it creates a wow-factor and a talking point at all times. 

Veined worktops as art - marble is a gorgeous luxurious option that naturally has a beautiful vein in it. Porcelain is being used more and more to emulate marble by neatly painting veins on these materials look beautiful and they don’t easily stain.
