Bespoke Handmade Kitchens

What things need to be considered when designing a kitchen?

When designing a kitchen, several key factors should be considered:

Layout and Flow: Ensure the design allows for a smooth workflow, typically following the kitchen work triangle principle (sink, stove, and refrigerator).

Space Utilisation: Assess the available space to maximise storage and functionality, incorporating cabinets, shelves, and islands intelligently.

Style and Aesthetics: Consider the overall style of your home and choose colours, materials, and finishes that complement the existing decor.

Budget: Determine a realistic budget that encompasses materials, labour, and any additional features you may want.

Appliances: Factor in the size and placement of appliances to ensure they fit well and can be accessed easily.

Lighting: Plan for both ambient and task lighting to create a bright and inviting atmosphere while ensuring functionality.

How can I commission furniture that needs to fit in an awkward space?

Commissioning furniture for an awkward space requires careful planning and measurement. Here are steps to follow:

Measure Accurately: Take precise measurements of the space, including height, width, and depth, as well as any obstructions such as radiators or fixtures.

Define Your Needs: Identify what you need from the furniture—storage, display, or functionality—and consider any specific design requirements.

Collaboration: Work closely with our skilled craftsmen at Emporium Lacock. Share your ideas and measurements, and we can provide custom solutions that maximise the available space.
