Factors to consider before starting a bespoke kitchen project

Before embarking on the exciting journey of designing a bespoke kitchen, it is crucial to bear in mind several aspects that will ensure a final result that meets your clients’ expectations. Firstly, you need to assess the available space and how you want it to flow. Think about the style of the project: modern, rustic, classic…? Next, we must consider the materials.

This is where our Krion® LUX solid surface really shines, offering the possibility of creating high-quality worktops that are not only durable and easy to clean, but also come in a variety of colours and finishes to complement any design.

Benefits of bespoke vs. standard kitchens

By opting for a bespoke kitchen design, you open up a world of possibilities for your clients compared to standard kitchens, as they are not constrained by generic designs or limited in terms of options. Each one is unique and able to reflect the owner’s personal style 100 per cent.

When it comes to making the most of the space, there is another crucial factor. A bespoke kitchen allows you to maximise the use of every centimetre, making it the ideal choice for spaces with unusual dimensions or shapes. In contrast, a standard kitchen may leave space unused as it does not fit perfectly.

As for the quality of the materials, bespoke kitchens allow you to choose materials that are more durable and easier to maintain. For example, kitchens made from Krion® LUX offer technical qualities that make them easier to clean, thanks to the absence of visible joints and the surface’s virtually zero porosity.

Finally, the added value to the home is considerable with a bespoke kitchen, increasing both the aesthetic and functional value of the home.

Materials for bespoke kitchens: how to make the right choice

Choosing materials for a bespoke kitchen involves striking a balance between aesthetics, functionality and durability. As you are not limited by standard units, the choice of material defines the creative freedom of the project. To make the right choice, we shouldn’t focus solely on colour, but also on other important factors:

• Visual continuity: the ability to create seamless designs makes the kitchen feel like a single, unified piece
• Hygiene and porosity: surfaces that come into contact with food must be easy to clean and prevent the growth of bacteria.

Worktops with Krion® LUX

The advantages of worktops made from solid surface include their seamless surface with no visible joints, their ease of maintenance and their bacteriostatic properties. As a non-porous material, it makes daily cleaning easier and helps prevent the growth of bacteria. Furthermore, its strength, durability and thermoforming capabilities allow for the creation of bespoke worktops, tailored to the needs of each kitchen.

Bespoke storage units

Bespoke storage units allow for better use of space and enable the kitchen to be adapted to the requirements of each project. With Krion® LUX, it is also possible to create bespoke furniture pieces, integrated with the worktop or other elements in the room, maintaining a seamless and consistent aesthetic.

Versatility of furniture in a bespoke kitchen

If there is one thing that stands out about bespoke kitchens, it is the versatility of the different elements that make them up.

Frequently asked questions about bespoke kitchens

Embarking on the design of a bespoke kitchen is an exciting project, but it is natural for questions to arise before making the first decisions. As this is a space that must combine aesthetics with durability for everyday use, understanding the implications of each choice is essential to the project’s success.

What are the advantages of Krion® LUX in a bespoke kitchen?

Our solid surface is the perfect choice for total customisation for four key reasons:

• Invisible joints: it allows you to create linear or ‘L’-shaped worktops without visible seams.
• Hygiene: its non-porous nature and bacteriostatic properties prevent the proliferation of bacteria.
• Repairability: in the event of a scratch or impact, the material can be easily repaired.
• Unlimited design possibilities: thanks to its wide range of colours and properties such as thermoforming, you can create curved islands and integrated sinks that appear to emerge directly from the worktop itself.

What does a bespoke kitchen include?

A comprehensive kitchen design project includes an ergonomic assessment of the space, the selection and installation of surfaces such as worktops, the cladding of fronts to create a seamless, easy-to-clean aesthetic, the integration of appliances, and the design of bespoke storage solutions tailored to the usage habits of each kitchen.

What is the difference between a bespoke kitchen and a modular kitchen?

A modular kitchen is based on units with pre-set dimensions that ‘fit’ into the space, often leaving gaps that are filled with filler pieces. A bespoke kitchen, on the other hand, is manufactured exclusively for the project. This allows you to make the most of awkward corners, adapt the height of the worktops to your exact ergonomic needs, and choose unique finishes that are not available in standard catalogues.
