Bespoke kitchens, a better fit for life.

A bespoke kitchen is most valuable where the room or the way you live asks for something a standard arrangement cannot easily provide. That might be cabinetry around an awkward return, a tall storage wall with a precise rhythm, or a preparation area shaped around two cooks. Posh Design designs and makes kitchen cabinetry in Birmingham for homes across our service area.

Look for the places where the current kitchen compromises the room. A narrow gap may become useful tray storage. A difficult corner may work better with a different layout than an elaborate corner fitting. Taller cabinetry might give you occasional storage while keeping everyday items within reach.

Bespoke does not mean ignoring the dimensions of appliances or fittings. The design needs to work with those requirements, using custom joinery where it brings a practical or visual benefit. The aim is a resolved room, not unusual dimensions for their own sake.

Before deciding how many cupboards you need, take stock of what they will hold. Separate everyday crockery from occasional serving pieces, food from small appliances, and heavy cookware from lighter items. Think about where each group will be used.

• ◆Keep preparation tools close to a useful stretch of worktop.
• ◆Plan food storage around visibility and access, including the depth of shelves.
• ◆Give bins, recycling and cleaning products an intentional place.
• ◆Allow for the appliances you leave out as well as those you want concealed.

It explores how different forms of pantry and breakfast storage can support the main kitchen.

The approved kitchen needs more than a perspective image. Dimensions, door style, finish, internals, worktops, appliance models and installation responsibilities should be clear. Any unresolved choices can affect manufacture or the sequence of work on site.

Our workshop makes the cabinetry; other elements of the kitchen are specified and coordinated with the relevant suppliers. Ask which parts of the project are included and which sit with your builder or other trades. That clarity is especially useful when the kitchen is part of a larger renovation.

Our base is Birmingham, with core work across the West Midlands and selected commissions further afield. There is one studio to visit in Kings Norton. Share your location, the room you are changing and the stage of your plans so we can discuss a suitable home or showroom appointment.

You can begin with a problem rather than a finished idea. “We need more preparation space without losing the table” is a useful brief for a free design visit.
