INTERIORS DEFINED BY DESIGN The Beauty of a Bespoke Kitchen IS 2018 THE YEAR FOR YOUR NEW KITCHEN? IF SO, YOU HAVE MOST LIKELY ALREADY CONSIDERED YOUR FAVOURITE COLOURS, STYLES AND IDEAL ACCESSORIES. AND, THAT IS GREAT, BECAUSE IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT THAT A BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN IS DESIGNED AND PLANNED WELL BEFORE IT IS MADE. AND, DESIGNED AND PLANNED WELL, INDEED. The design of a kitchen is not just visual, either. It must work well, too – it's the cog that keeps the household going; it is the most important room – and, something the designers and workshop team appreciate, at Collins Bespoke. Every kitchen they design and make is made for its home, to work well for its home – and, that is why none of their kitchens is ever the same. Bespoke by name. Thoroughly bespoke by nature. From painted finish and shade, to handle choice and handle placement; from cabinetry styles – Shaker, Beaded Shaker or Contemporary – to where best to integrate the ovens, or coffee machine! Collins Bespoke’s designers are meticulous about presenting to you all these options. They produce wonderful images and plans, so you can visualise your kitchen and decide how they can make your kitchen work best for you. Likewise, they work with spaces – and, are inspired by them. Unique rooms, focal points, unusual spaces – their kitchens are far from standardised. Every kitchen they design, they also make – beginning with the space, the plan, the design. Then, their workshop team of skilled cabinetmakers and finishers works closely with their design team; and, they turn these designs into beautiful custom-made cabinetry: kitchens – ready to entertain family life. So, the kitchen, the most important room in the home, is where the passion for cooking and entertaining meets coffee mornings, Sunday mornings and last-minute- homework mornings. The kitchen must embody these purposes and a good kitchen design does this, whilst suiting your own individual needs – and, of course, looking beautiful. That is what they do, at Collins Bespoke. Collins Bespoke is a Kent-based and Kent- bred family-owned and family-run business, working throughout Kent, Sussex, Surrey and London.
