The Benefits of Investing in a Made-to-Measure Kitchen

The term “made to measure” can be confusing.

 
There’s no doubt that the kitchen industry uses the term “made to measure” to describe a wide range of approaches, include mass produced modular units that are offered at appealing prices but that cant count as genuine made to measure. Collecting together a group of standard-sized kitchen cabinets and calling them a kitchen is quite different to a genuine made to measure bespoke kitchen

Let’s take an example. Windsor Castle’s great kitchen was built in the 1300s, in the reign of King Edward III. So efficient, and so essential, was the kitchen design that it remained largely unchanged until the palace fire in 1992 after which some refurbishment was undertaken.

One thing we can be sure about, is that it was a made to measure kitchen, from its several standing wooden units, each with a made to measure kitchen worktop designed for its purpose: marble for pastry, copper for fish and meat etc, through to specialist windows to cast light on special dessert creations.

Sounds regal? Absolutely. But it’s also the kind of real wooden kitchen that is available to anybody who chooses a genuine made to measure option rather than something put together from modular units.

Of course, we can’t have the kind of made to measure kitchen that King Edward III enjoyed - but it is possible to have wonderful carpentry-built kitchen units that are carefully designed and constructed to enhance your home.

In a time when instant effect can seem like everything, we at Andrei Anthony believe that the long lasting pleasure of a made to measure kitchen will bring a permanent sense of well-being to your home and anybody who enters it.

A made to measure kitchen brings value to your home

There are several significant reasons that made to measure can bring value in your home:

  1. Investing in a made to measure kitchen ensures that your home contains elegance and a customised interior that reflects your personality.
  2. You are free to maximise the potential of your kitchen, such as floor to ceiling cabinets or even elegant hanging storage furniture floating over your kitchen island.
  3. Handmade kitchens can adapt appliances into the kitchen set up to keep the synergy throughout the kitchen cabinetry.
  4. Joinery features that exceed expectation create a character rich, independent and unique aspect to your home.
  5. A made to measure kitchen allows your own personality speak though its design, rather than using the common design language that mass-produced kitchen manufactures have available and use repetitively.
  6. It allows you to express your uniqueness and surround yourself with what speaks to you.
