What is Bespoke Kitchen Furniture?
Bespoke kitchens are as the name suggests, built with furniture specifically designed to suit the needs and general layout of the client’s space. While standard kitchen furniture or ready-made furniture found in local stores are made in large numbers, single pieces are made by applying craftsmanship, produced and designed to the exact size, shape and appearance desired by the client.
It is important to understand that although bespoke and custom or made-to-measure terms can be used interchangeably there is a slight difference between them. Furniture referred to as custom often originates from standard designs or CAD models which are then altered to match the required size. Custom in this context is usually understood as the furniture of a wholly original design, designed and built specifically for the customer, where no previous designs are used for structure or style.
Four Advantages of Customized Kitchen Furniture
Adaptability – Kitchen furniture involves the skills to adjust to the layout requirements, storage needed, and the aesthetics preferred. The design options are dynamic and can match the client’s existing decor and specific requirements.
Durability and Quality – Experienced artisans utilize high-quality solid hardwood and finishes, designed to be durable and produced through rigorous adherence to high-quality materials and traditional manufacturing standards.
Self-Portal – Every custom piece reflects the client’s personality, in materials, colours or details. Every design is unique and exclusive.
Functionality – Furniture can be made specifically for a client to correspond with the client’s life and activities. The specific layouts meet the needs of individuals’ styles of work.

The Design Process
Rawcliffes Furniture understands that designing a kitchen of one’s choice is a process that involves collaboration. Each design stage has been strategically designed to enable our clients to engage in the process from design conception to the implementation stage.
The Consultation Process
The first process entails an active dialogue in which our experienced, trained decorators actively listen to the client’s life requirements, opinions regarding design tastes, and other pertinent information concerning the use of the particular area in question. To begin with, we study the area to define crude needs and find out more about your preferences. Nothing is left unexamined at this critical first stage of the process.
Concept Development
After the criteria for the client are set, our skilled designers create conceptual designs with optimal attention. Using modern 3D design tools, we provide the clients with visual and animated illustrations of how the kitchen is expected to be after completion.
Material Selection
We assist in choosing superior quality finishing, fabrics, and hardware that complement the designed theme and serve the respective purpose. We give professional advice when choices are made to ensure maximum satisfaction with the selected equipment to create the final image of the interior space that meets modern requirements for functionality and durability.

Kitchen Islands, Pantry, Storage Cabinets & Butcher’s Blocks
Custom Kitchen Islands
One of the design elements that has become a regular thing people place in the modern kitchen is the kitchen island. It is not restricted to use in food preparation but also a dining bar and a place to convene guests during a party. Our fitted kitchen Islands at Rawcliffes Furniture are fabricated using individual clients’ requirements and the size of the kitchen space available.
The major benefit of having a custom-built kitchen island is that it can be designed and positioned in a particular way within the kitchen. From the small galley kitchen to the large island in the open-concept living area, our designers guarantee the best of both worlds: functionality and style!
Open Kitchen Island Designs
Apart from just a working space, a kitchen island designed per the customer’s request should be an elegant masterpiece. To create a welcoming ambience, superior quality solid oak is utilized which is well known for its durability. Available finishes include natural wood or paint that gives a matching look to other cabinets in the home.
When designing custom islands, there are almost no restrictions as to what the final product can look like. Add functions like shelves, a wine rack, an under-mount sink or a cooking area on the island to turn it into a multifunctional centre. Seating such as bar stools or breakfast bars provides the capability to dine or eat in the kitchen area.
At Rawcliffes Furniture, everything is done intentionally, from the design to the materials. Whether the customers want a more rural and country appeal or a sleek and contemporary look, our artisans work tirelessly to bring that vision to life in our workshop.
