Top tips to update your kitchen in 2025

Designing a bespoke kitchen is a chance to create a space that perfectly fits your lifestyle and personal style. Unlike mass-produced options, a custom bespoke kitchen blends unique design with functionality. Choosing the right door style and cabinet handles or cabinet drawer knobs will really help make your new kitchen something special.  Here are our essential tips to help you bring your dream kitchen to life:

1. Write a wishlist 

Before diving into the style or design of your kitchen, take a moment to consider what needs to fit into your new space. Make a list of all the necessities from your current kitchen that must be included in the new room.

Consider the appliances you have and those you want to add. For instance, is a built-in coffee machine essential to kickstart your day? Or are you a passionate cook who would benefit from a larger oven?

2. Focus on How You Use Your Kitchen

Consider your daily habits and how you want your kitchen to function. Do you love to cook elaborate meals or enjoy hosting guests? Let your lifestyle shape the layout and features. A family-friendly kitchen may benefit from a spacious kitchen island with seating, while passionate cooks might prioritise premium appliances and generous counter space.  We can help with our kitchen island legs, which work great for both kitchen islands and breakfast bar support that are suitable for supporting stone worktops.

3. Design for Efficiency

Take advantage of bespoke design to break free from standard layouts. Pay attention to the work triangle—the relationship between your sink, stove, and refrigerator—for a layout that promotes efficiency. Ensure pathways are wide enough for easy movement.

4. Invest in High-Quality Materials and Fittings

A bespoke kitchen is all about superior craftsmanship and style. Choose durable, timeless materials such as solid wood for cabinetry, stone countertops, and materials such ass brass for your luxury cabinet handles or even contemporary cabinet knobs . These investments will enhance both the look and longevity of your kitchen.

5. Choose the right Kitchen Cabinet Handles and Knobs

Cabinet Hardware plays a significant role in both the look and feel of your kitchen. No matter what your style or choice, you can choose from modern cabinet handles, luxury cabinet handles, or modern cabinet knobs.  Luxury cabinet handles and brass drawer knobs bring elegance, while modern cabinet knobs or modern cabinet handles offer a sleek, minimalist vibe. Choose styles that complement your overall design theme.  Check out our selection of cabinet handles and knobs to help with some inspiration.
