For many homes, the kitchen is at the heart of it, full of memories, creativity and family moments. A well-designed modern kitchen combines practicality and design, maximising space and amplifying a cosy atmosphere. One of the best ways to achieve this is by installing a kitchen island, which helps to enhance the experience regardless of the size of the kitchen.

Why a Functional Kitchen Matters

Whether you’re an avid chef, a parent on-the-go or you’re a foodie, a functional space is essential. Because it’s not just about cooking; it’s about being able to move around easily in a room that is organised and inspirational. A practical kitchen helps you create meals quickly and easily and that’s where the  kitchen island comes in.

• It’s the perfect place to prep food.
• A kitchen island can be used for dining, and its especially useful for quick meals like breakfast.
• It can provide extra storage space and shelves.

Kitchen Islands Aren’t Only for Large Spaces

Let’s dispel the notion that only large kitchens can have islands. Smaller kitchens can benefit from the extra seating and storage space. We design custom kitchen islands to meet your needs and fit the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. We can implement multifunctional features, like making the island narrower or add wheels so it’s mobile.

Innovative Design Ideas

Contemporary kitchen islands are more than simple seating areas. They help to keep your kitchen organised and add additional countertop space.

• Integrate appliances like built-in dishwashers, washing machines and fridges.
• If you’re limited in space or want to create a dedicated food preparation area, you could install a sink in your kitchen island.

Create Additional Storage Space

For those with lots of cutlery and crockery, installing additional drawers and shelves can help you display them and make them easy to access, freeing up your cupboards.

You can also use shelves to display decorative items to add extra flair to your kitchen. For large collections of pots, pans and equipment deeper cupboards can be fitted for extra storage space.

A Place to Gather

The kitchen island can add a space for family and friends to gather around while cooking or enjoying a meal. It’s also the perfect way for others to enjoy the kitchen communally, turning it into a social space. You can add bar stools for seating or a bespoke bench.

Material and Style Choices

We can help you select the best kitchen materials to bring your vision to life. We offer designs that evoke traditional decor, such as the Shaker design; we also provide modern, cutting-edge styles that suit a contemporary home. We can implement materials like wood, granite, steel and more for a luxury kitchen design.

Kitchens don’t have to be drab. We can add bespoke touches, bright colours, custom handles and finishes to add touches of your personality to your kitchen.

At Cheverell, we don’t just supply kitchens; we work alongside homeowners to craft their dream space. We can create bespoke kitchen islands to suit any kitchen in an array of designs for the ultimate storage solution and social area. Cheverell combines luxury and functionality for truly inspiring results. Start your project with us today.

Fitted wardrobes are not just trending in interior design, they are also a sought-after practical solution. They maximise your space and provide a sleek, modern storage solution that instantly upgrades any room. At Cheverell, we create bespoke fitted wardrobes in a variation of styles to complement every home.

Fitted vs Built-In Wardrobes

Fitted wardrobes and built-in wardrobes have a few differences, although people assume they are the same storage solution.

• Modern fitted wardrobes are made to measure so they fit into your space perfectly and can be adapted without having any awkward gaps and corners.
• They are a tailor-made solution to suit your storage needs.
• Built-in wardrobes are usually premade units that can be assembled on-site, so they don’t have the custom fit and finishings that fitted wardrobes boast.

Here at Cheverell, we utilise our experience to bring your vision to life so you can store your belongings in style.

Choose a Style to Match Your Home

There are countless types of doors and finishes to choose from, including Shaker-style doors and timeless wood panelling. For contemporary homes with minimalist decor, there are sleek options that can complement any room by using neutral wood tones. In contrast, for those looking to add a bold statement, bespoke wardrobes can be crafted in bright colours or with deeper wood tones for a more traditional aesthetic.

Bespoke Features

We work on every custom-made wardrobe from start to finish, so it’s perfect for homeowners who desire a level of personalisation. Each bespoke piece is crafted with beauty and practicality in mind; unlike pre-built wardrobes, you can request specific shelving solutions, integrated drawers to keep your belongings organised, and custom railings and handles to match your decor.

Colours That Complement Your Style

Colour matters, and we can create wardrobes in a variety of colours to coordinate with your space.

• For homes with traditional interiors, mid-century modern decor or nautical themes, deep wood tones, earthy colours, and blue tones can echo a sense of classic charm. Think sage green, oak, and warm beiges.
• Homes with minimalist decor work well with light tones that evoke harmony, such as creams, soft pastels and shades of grey.
• For colour-loving homeowners who want that dopamine décor look, jewel tones, rich colours like mustard and bold shades of orange, pink or blue can make any space pop.

We can work with you to select your ideal colour palette for your wardrobes, so they complement the bedroom.  

How Fitted Wardrobes Solve Storage Problems

Do you ever open your wardrobe to find piles of clothes lying around in disarray? Keeping your wardrobe organised can become a chore, which is where fitted wardrobes can solve your woes. We can work with you to understand your needs, such as what you want to store and how you want to store it.

For example, you might have an extensive shoe collection that you want to organise and access quickly or pieces of clothing that need extra care. We can work around your requirements to create the perfect made to measure wardrobes or dressing room.
