The kitchen is undoubtedly the most visited room of every home. You practically spend a large amount of your day preparing delicious meals (and eating them) there. It is also the first room that a prospective buyer is likely to want to see, in the case you want to sell your home. That is why it makes perfect sense to devote enough money, time and effort on picking the right design of your kitchen. You do not want to be stuck with impractical and unpleasant designs.

There is an entire universe of styles that you can choose from. With so many colours, materials and textures to pick from, it is very easy to get lost in a sea of possible options and find it difficult to pick the one that best suits your home. Furthermore, you need to consider the sink, taps, cooking appliance and worktop designs as well. The fact that all of these combined must synergise with the overall floor and coverings style doesn’t help either.

“Where do I begin?” is a good question to ask yourself when going after a kitchen design. If you are not sure on the path you need to follow in order to equip your home with a great kitchen, you can choose one of three options: picking ready designs, made to measure or bespoke kitchens. Where is the difference?

Ex-stock kitchens are ready designs that can be delivered to you within a short period of time and installed according to your kitchen dimensions and composition. You have some freedom in picking the colour and possibly some of the features, but overall there is very little room for change, as most of the units are ready. This method of getting your kitchen from ‘off the peg’ selection of options is the least expensive, but you don’t get the freedom of featuring what you want. It is also probably the cheapest option, in case you are working with restricted budget.

Made to fit kitchens allow for much more customization on your part. You can dictate the general layout and features that you desire, although you will not have all the freedom in the world. The made to fit kitchen design follow general design templates and offer a selection of those. You can choose from these base patterns, but not the individual features that make the whole design.

A bespoke kitchen offers you the chance to customize most of the features of your kitchen. You also get to work with well-established kitchen designers, who will visit the room and offer their vast knowledge on the matter. All heights, depths, curves, heights and angles are possible, as a bespoke kitchen designer will follow your requirements. For this reason, a bespoke kitchen may take longer to design, but it will be a perfect match to your needs and expectations.

There is every reason to go with a bespoke kitchen, as long as your budget allows it, since it is no secret that is by far the most expensive option. However, if you are looking to boost the value of your home a great deal, then bespoke kitchens are definitely the best!
