Bespoke Kitchen Features That Are Worth the Investment

September 15, 2025

As bespoke options are becoming even more appealing in the kitchen, it's important to know what is and isn’t worth the investment. Here's our take on what you should spend your money on!

Bespoke kitchens

As bespoke options are becoming even more appealing in the kitchen, it’s important to know what is and isn’t worth the investment. The ability to tailor your home to fit your lifestyle gives you the option to transform your space. However, the increase in choices makes it even harder to decide what to go for. Luckily, we’re here to help, offering our take on the best of the bunch, and what you should spend your money on! Read on to find out more…

Cabinets

Firstly, let’s start with cabinets. As your kitchen’s storage solution, they are an essential part of your room. They can hide clutter, increase convenience and keep everything in order.

So, why choose bespoke ones?

Unlike ones from straight off the shelf, bespoke cabinets are designed to fit perfectly in your space. This means utilising areas that are normally too awkward to put cabinets in. This new found space creates even more storage and leaves your kitchen clutter free without taking up valuable floor space or disrupting your kitchen’s flow! It’s a win-win.

Smart Storage

Why not also include some smart storage solutions within your cabinets too? Designs such as rack dividers or pull out bins can free up even more room and make your life easier. A worthy investment for those with little spare time!

Soft-closing Draws

Additionally, another key feature to think about is soft-closing draws and doors. Not often thought about and perhaps not the most exciting alteration, but definitely a small change you can make to have a big impact.

Soft-closing mechanisms can not only add a luxury feel to your kitchen but also help prolong the life of your openings. General wear and tear caused by slamming is eliminated and therefore keeps the doors looking and working better for longer.

Worktop

Finally, another feature that can impact your kitchen is your choice in worktop. Being used daily, it’s essential the surface is long lasting and resistant to getting damaged easily. More bespoke options, like granite or quartz counters, are a great choice. These, compared to alternatives, are far more durable and made with high quality materials that are resistant to scratching and staining.

The timeless style is the perfect option to make your kitchen stylish, practical and also keep its value. The premium option is sought after by buyers, recognising its worth. Therefore when the time comes to sell, your resale value is increased too!

Hopefully you now recognise some of the bespoke options available for your kitchen, and which are worth the investment.

We are absolutely thrilled with our Burley Interiors Kitchen. They brought our vision to life including a bespoke colour kitchen and in-frame cabinetry with quartz worktops and waterfall island. The quality cannot faulted.

We couldn’t recommend them any more in fact our friends are due to have their Burley Interiors kitchen next week.

Special thanks to Liam for being amazing, we are looking to get a media unit for the kitchen and they are our first choice.

Thank you Burley Interiors. We now have a beautiful new shower room. You made the whole process from initial consultation, through giving us a lot of help with the design and choosing products to the installation, as stress free as possible. Every one of your team was brilliant. We particularly liked your flexibility and willingness to discuss ideas before making final decisions.

Response from the owner 10:47 03 Mar 25

Thank you for your review Maggie, we appreciate your feedback and will let the team know you are happy with your lovely new shower room.

We had the best experience with Burley Interiors, nothing was too much trouble. From design through to delivery, it was a top-class experience and the attention to detail was excellent. I am a very fussy person when it comes to design, and they didn't disappoint! I rarely leave reviews, but I wouldn't hesitate to work with this great team again.

Response from the owner 09:56 27 Feb 25

Thanks so much for the 5* review Sharon. It was a pleasure working on your bathroom and we're delighted you're happy with our service and the finished product.

Insulated the attic rooms of our Victorian terrace with kingspan internal insullation and then redecorated the rooms. Quality was great and all team were brilliant! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The team at Burley interiors were so fantastic on our bathroom project; reliable, friendly, trust-worthy and with great attention to detail. They helped plan out our project, working with us to ensure we got all the products we wanted. We left our keys with them for the first week while on holiday and came back to find a lot of work done and everything tidy. They finished the project on time and have gone above and beyond to make sure all the details are right. The tiling is absolutely stunning! So happy that they made my ideas a reality. Thanks all.

Burley fitted two new bathrooms but encountered problems along the way due to the previous owners' poor standards. They managed to have solutions to all the problems and dealt with everything swiftly. From the design service at the beginning, the whole fit process to the end hand over all I can say is this company is one of the best I have worked with in over 40 years. Totally professional and very competitive pricing for high end products and fit. Every member of the Burley team worked with us to deliver a beautiful job. Building guys were respectful working inside the house, clean and tidy and ensured attention to every detail along the way. No stone left unturned and took the time to ensure every aspect was fitted perfectly. We felt we were in a very safe pair of hands with Liam, John and the whole team, so much so we are now planning Phase 2 of our renovations and would not think of using any other company. Thank you so much, all of you. Rare to find a company who actually care about the work they are undertaking. Top quality products, perfect fit, and extremely well priced for high end bathrooms. Absolutely thrilled to have found them!
