Posted on by blue bee

The decision to get a bespoke kitchen is an exciting one, and understanding the process can be a little daunting if you’re not sure what to expect.

Read our step-by-step guide to your dream kitchen for details on everything from initial ideas to final touches.

1. Initial ideas

Every dream kitchen starts with ideas, and we’ll work with you to ensure we have a fully comprehensive overview of what you’re hoping for. From magazine clippings and Pinterest boards to hand drawn sketches and photos of friend’s homes, share everything you love the look of in whichever format your inspiration comes in and we’ll take it from there.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a complete idea of what you’re looking for, we can highlight any options we think could work for you and build on that together. With years of experience, we’re confident we can create your perfect luxury kitchen, from the flooring to the lights, even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

2. Budget

It may be a less exciting aspect of your new kitchen plans, but understanding your budget is important when it comes to putting designs together. Although it can be tempting to run away with ideas, the process will be far smoother if you provide a budget for us to work to. This isn’t to say that other features can’t be added along the way, it just means that our designs will be realistic and in line with what you have put aside to spend on the project.

We strive to create luxury kitchens regardless of budget, so please do contact us to discuss your options.

3. Layout

Once we have an idea of what your dream kitchen looks like and you’ve decided on a budget, we can get to work designing the layout. We’ll ensure we make the most of the space available and have experience creating both compact and large kitchens. Our designs will incorporate the features we’ve discussed with you, and we’ll share these once they’re complete.

You’ll have the opportunity to review the designs and provide feedback to ensure you’re happy with our suggestions before installation commences.

4. Advice

We’re on hand to keep you informed as your new kitchen design is implemented and will advise you as different stages are completed. We’ll provide you with a timeline before work starts, and the length of installation will depend on how much work is required. If you have any questions before, during, or after the project, our knowledgeable team members are happy to help.

5. Final touches

Once your luxury kitchen is in place, you’ll have time to take a good look around and provide any feedback you have. We’re confident that you’ll love your new space from the first time you see it, however, any queries will be handled quickly and efficiently.

From your initial ideas all the way through to seeing your new kitchen for the first time, we’re just as committed to the project as you are. Request a brochure for more information about our bespoke kitchen design service or contact our team to discuss your requirements.

Country Cottage Kitchen Ideas: Rustic Elegance to Enhance Your Home

Posted on by blue bee

Cosy, traditional, and full of character, a country cottage kitchen is timeless in style and creates the perfect space for cooking, socialising, and sharing family meals.

In this article, we share three country cottage kitchen ideas to help inspire your kitchen makeover.

1. Natural materials

Natural materials bring warmth into a room, making them popular with those creating a country cottage kitchen. Incorporating wood into the space is a simple yet effective way to achieve the style you’re looking for, and there are numerous ways to use this naturally beautiful material.

For example, you might choose to install wooden worktops which show off charming, unique grain patterns, build wooden shelving where you can display utensils, mason jars, and cookery books, or opt for wooden cupboards as a classic storage solution.

Stone is another natural material commonly used in country cottage kitchens as it brings a rustic feel. Adding a stone backsplash is a simple way to bring this attractive tone and texture into the space.

2. Cottage style furniture

Choosing the right furniture will help create the country cottage kitchen look you’re aiming for. From chunky wooden dining sets to pretty yet practical sideboards, there are numerous pieces that will look perfect in your new kitchen. Cottage style kitchen furniture is often made from wood and simple in design. Traditional features, such as turned legs or distressed paint, can add to the overall aesthetic while remaining in line with the cottage theme.

Depending on the size of your kitchen, you might like to create a cosy ready nook with a comfortable armchair and side table where you can relax and unwind. Trying to create a compact country cottage kitchen? Streamlined storage options, such as deep drawers and open shelving, can help you to keep surfaces clear and make the most of the space you have available.

A butler sink is another item you can implement in your kitchen to give it a country cottage aesthetic. These large, ceramic sinks are synonymous with country charm and guaranteed to add instant character.

3. Country colours

It may be that you’d like to stick to natural materials and neutral tones in your country cottage kitchen, in which case you should opt for warm beiges and rich greys. However, there are colours that beautifully complement the country theme should you wish to add a pop of something a little brighter.

Soft greens and blues are a lovely option and create a feeling of bringing the outside in, whereas yellow can work well if you’re looking for a bright and cheerful tone. Colour can be added to your kitchen by painting a feature wall, opting for painted cupboards, hanging blinds or curtains, through dining chair cushions and tablecloths, and by simply adding a few accessories, such as vases and ornaments, to the space.
