If you plan to invest money in your home to improve it for your own enjoyment, or to make it more attractive to a potential buyer and increase its value, your best bet is to focus on your kitchen. A well-designed, high-quality kitchen will look great, last for many years, and make everyday kitchen tasks much easier and more fun. For the ideal design to suit your home and your requirements and the best quality materials, look for a bespoke kitchen designer who can deliver the best possible results within the agreed budget.
A custom kitchen designer makes solid wood kitchen cabinets and cabinets that not only look beautiful but are also strong and durable enough to withstand the kind of wear and tear you’d expect in an average family home without showing any signs of damage. Solid wood is far superior to other inferior materials often used in the manufacture of mass-produced turnkey kitchens. Solid wood does not suffer the effects caused by excess heat or humidity that is generated in this area of the home as compressed board and MDF do. A few years later, when your doors have taken too many bumps or dents and start to look a bit worn, they can be quickly and easily refinished without costing a lot of money or time. Wood is easily repaired in the event of excessive damage to its surface.
Many people choose to paint their solid wood kitchens and not leave all cabinets and doors with a wood finish. This opens up the ability to update your color choice whenever the mood strikes and you fancy a change, at minimal cost. A growing trend right now is to leave certain kitchen drawers, doors and cabinets wood and combine them with a painted finish, offering another way to put your own stamp on your kitchen design.
A bespoke solid wood kitchen can be designed in the style of your choice using the materials of your choice. Wood is an incredibly adaptable material and many custom cabinetmakers now regularly incorporate graceful curves into their kitchen designs to improve the flow of the space. Whether you like a rustic farmhouse look or a sleek, polished finish, with a trained kitchen designer you can create a design that matches your personality and your home.
The types of solid wood commonly used to build kitchens in your area will depend somewhat on where in the world you live. Generally speaking, pine, oak, and maple tend to be very popular choices, although accent pieces in darker-toned solid woods, such as mahogany, walnut, and cherry, are a popular choice in many designs. A custom kitchen company with strong green principles may be more inclined to use locally sourced wood to minimize your carbon footprint or at least encourage you to opt for a type of wood that grows quickly and is easily replenished once harvested.
A solid wood kitchen offers the best there is in terms of quality and will greatly enhance the appearance of your home and last for years and years.
