Whether you want a traditional, solid-wood, rustic affair or something more contemporary in style, bespoke kitchens offer many advantages.
Commission a bespoke kitchen and there are unlimited options for arranging the crisp lines of the design just as you want them. But bright laminates, wood veneers, solid hardwoods, mellow aluminium and extra-wide pan drawers are all hallmarks of the modern tailor-made kitchen.
Genuine designers of bespoke kitchens will create a unique room. A good way to check whether you are getting something truly bespoke - rather than an existing range which tailored to your home - is to ask for something that's not already in the brochure. If this can't be done, they don't provide genuinely bespoke kitchens.
With contemporary kitchens, any problems of awkward corners, curved walls and unusual window positions can be removed thanks to the help of a good bespoke designer.
Of course, with bespoke designer kitchens, it can take a bit longer to complete the work, but you're paying for quality craftsmanship and the job shouldn't be rushed. With high quality design and furniture, bespoke kitchens really come into their own.

Having a small kitchen space may seem like a huge obstacle to your interior design plans at first, but remember less is more! A small kitchen can be transformed into a well functioning, bright workspace.
Sliding doors
Think about whether it would benefit to open up the space by knocking a wall through or whether you should leave it as it is. The former option needn’t mean that you have to live in an open plan living space for ever. Contemporary kitchens can be created using floor-to-ceiling doors which slide open when you want to create more space.
Positioning doors
You can often get into a real lather about the hob, sink and fridge triangle but there is no need to obsess in this way. Locate each one that suits how you cook but think about how the door will open. Your oven door needs to open fully and it may be an idea to use sliding doors on cupboards.
Reach for the heights
No matter what the kitchen shape you can build storage space high up on the walls to maximise your cupboard space. Cabinet makers can design storage space that fits perfectly with the space available. A great effect can be created using units from floor-to-ceiling on one wall.
Perfect space
Aim to leave one wall completely free of clutter and set up a bar or fold down table there with some attractive bar stools. If you have limited space for dining this can be a great option and will make the most of the space available.
At Increation Interiors, we offer expert interior design for your home.

In bespoke kitchens you can dabble with colour to create a feeling of space or comfort. Interior designers can apply colour that influences your appetite, lifts your mood or marks your individuality on your kitchen. Here’s how you can use colour to create designer kitchens:
Unity in colour
You can use a colour scheme to create a design which complements and synergises. Tonal schemes will use a variety of shades from one colour; harmonious schemes will take colours from the colour wheel that sit together; and complementary colours are those that contrast dramatically and oppose on the colour wheel.
Matching counters
The worktop need to complement the colours as it will affect the overall effect of the interior design. Think about the material you choose. Contemporary kitchens suit stainless steel and nickel counters whereas bold colours are best suited to rich wood veneers.
Let there be light
You can choose colours that maximise the natural light you have available. If you have a south facing kitchen then lavenders, blues and greens will help to balance lots of sunshine. On the other hand a north facing kitchen will be warmed by hot colours such as orange, red and pink.
Spacious white
White and other neutral tones will also reflect back light, which will give the illusion of space. You can use colourful accessories to break up the white.
Create definition
Use colour to mark out one wall that will be the dining area. Alternatively use colour graphical effects.
At Increation Interiors we create designer kitchens with the clever use of colour and design to create a cooking space individual to you.

When designing bespoke kitchens you want to create a kitchen that appeals to the senses, has personality and is functional to ensure cooking is a pleasure and not a chore. There are many themes that can be chosen to create a design that fits with your home and needs. When choosing the design there are some elements that need to be considered:
Family
Contemporary kitchens are affected by the individual needs of the families that use then. This affects the choice of design, appliances and decor. Think about how big the family is, the limitations of the kitchen space, your lifestyle and the time that gets spent in the kitchen. For most homes, the kitchen is the nerve centre. Here the meals are made and it’s often where the family meet as a unit.
Colour
Colour can be used effectively to match the design and textures used in furniture and appliances. Often neutral and fresh tones are best with a couple accent colours to brighten and individualise the space in designer kitchens. Colour is important as it can affect mood and in a kitchen you want it to be welcoming and cheering.
Space
Think about how much space will be needed to allow movement and also take into account the size of your family. Consider all the practical concerns such as appliances and storage.
Cabinetry
The cabinets have a large impact on the kitchen design. Cabinet makers can create custom designs whether you are opting for a traditional or modern style. The materials used will also impact the look and feel.
At Increation we can advise on all aspects of kitchen interior design.
