KITCHEN INSPIRATION:
GINUARY
from Collins Bespoke
IS 2019 THE YEAR FOR YOUR NEW KITCHEN? WITH EVERY NEW YEAR
COMES OPPORTUNITY, CREATIVITY AND THE IDEAL TIME TO START
TURNING PLANS INTO REALITY.
You may have already started thinking about your
favourite styles, colours and accessories – what inspires
you, and what doesn’t. This January, however, will
it be the new persona the month has taken on, that
inspires you the most? We are, of course, talking
about “Ginuary!”
Over the past few years it seems there has been
somewhat of a ‘gin boom’. The popular drink has
made a huge comeback from the demand seen in
the 1700s, when it was simply known as ‘Mother’s
Ruin’. Everyone’s talking about it. And, with Britain’s
love for gin growing again, it’s no wonder that Collins
Bespoke are seeing a rise in demand and design for
beautifully bespoke drinks cabinets.
A kitchen is, undoubtably, the most important room
in the home. It’s where a passion for cooking meets
coffee mornings, Sunday mornings, and last-minute-
homework mornings. It’s also the ideal spot for
entertaining and enjoying your Friday nights with
good friends. A kitchen really is so much more than
a kitchen. It’s a living space. Dressers and drink
cabinets are a wonderful example of extended
kitchen-living, and something that Collins Bespoke
are enjoying seeing more and more.
By now, you’ve probably visited somewhere that’s
home to an impressive gin collection. It’s pretty
quirky! And, the whole customisation and experience
that goes into serving a gin is totally bespoke in itself.
But, having your very own designated drinks cabinet
– stocked with all your favourite tipples at home –
has certainly got to be the perfect way to host a party.
The absolute epitome of style and wow-factor. Plus,
a real talking point for your guests.
Of course, every cabinet designed and made is
bespoke – properly bespoke, as in, made with you
in mind, naturally. Whether you opt for internal
lighting, glass shelves, bi-folding doors or even add
an integrated wine cooler – Collins Bespoke designs
and makes the cabinets to complement your style,
while providing a timeless design feature and most
of all – ready to entertain.
So, if 2019 is your year for your new kitchen – and,
a new space to adult and entertain (when the
homework is done) – visit the team at Collins Bespoke,
who will happily offer a free design consultation and
an initial bespoke plan.
Collins Bespoke is a Kent-based and Kent-bred
family-owned and family-run business, working
throughout Kent, Sussex, Surrey and London. Their
showroom and workshop can be found just outside
Ashford, where they have good coffee and biscuits
(because it probably isn’t right to offer gin)! Managing
and creative director, Nick Collins, has over 20 years’
experience in designing and making bespoke kitchens
and cabinetry.
