The beauty of bespoke lies in the detail: every element can be specifically designed to suit your home, lifestyle and aesthetic, and there’s an unlimited spectrum of shades, textures, looks and sheens available. Even ergonomics can be factored into the design, says Graeme Metcalf of Dan Kitchens, with benchtops and wall cabinets set to preferred heights. Inevitably, custom costs more than readymade. “As a general rule the more complex the design, specialised trades and materials involved, the more the cost,” says Graeme.
