Bespoke Kitchens in Poole and Bournemouth

A bespoke kitchen is a custom-made kitchen that is designed and built to meet the specific requirements and preferences of an individual or client, often using high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Each kitchen is uniquely tailored to room, floor plan, design style and finishes, with the customer’s vision ultimately in mind.

Yes, we definitely think so. But then we may be biased.

Whether a bespoke kitchen is worth the money ultimately depends on the individual’s priorities and budget. A bespoke kitchen can be more expensive than a standard or pre-made kitchen, but it offers several benefits such as personalised design, high-quality materials, and precise fitting to the space available.

If having a unique and personalised kitchen is a top priority and the budget allows for it, then a bespoke kitchen may be worth the investment. However, if affordability is a priority and customisation is not as important, then a standard or pre-made kitchen may be a better option. Ultimately, the decision comes down to individual preferences, priorities, and budget constraints.

Statistics from the Reader’s Digest have shown that the average house value increases by 11% when a luxury kitchen is installed. 

Though ultimately the value that a bespoke kitchen can add to your home will vary depending on several factors such as the quality of the materials used, the level of customisation, and the design choices.

Generally speaking, it takes around 8 weeks to build, paint and fit a bespoke kitchen from scratch.

Of course the time it takes to make a bespoke kitchen can vary depending on other factors such as the size and complexity of the project, the availability of materials and schedule. With the proper planning and designs in place 8 weeks should be ample.

The most expensive parts of a new kitchen are typically the cabinets. Custom-made cabinets using high-quality materials such as solid wood or custom finishes can significantly increase the cost of a new kitchen. Similarly, high-end countertops made from materials like marble, granite, or quartz can also add to the overall cost.

Other factors that can contribute to the cost of a new kitchen include appliances, flooring, lighting, and plumbing fixtures. However, the cost of these components can vary widely depending on the specific products and brands chosen.

Our kitchens usually start from around 20k.

With that said, at Thomas Matthew we recognise that each individual has unique budget limitations, and we are dedicated to collaborating with you to produce a design that fulfils your requirements while still remaining within your budget.

All we ask is that you tell us your budget before commencing design work, as this will ultimately affect what we can and can’t include within the design.

 At Thomas Matthew, we value open communication with our clients throughout the design process and actively seek feedback and suggestions. We strive to collaborate with you to ensure that your final design is precisely what you envisioned.

The Design Phase typically takes between 4 and 8 weeks to complete, although smaller projects with fewer decisions may require less time, while larger projects may take 6 to 10 weeks. The biggest factor for determining this is how quick the customer is at making decisions and how far through the decision/design process they are before approaching us.

We are committed to providing our clients with exceptional quality and craftsmanship, which is why we offer a 10-year warranty on all of our bespoke kitchens. We use only the finest materials and techniques to construct our kitchens, ensuring that they are built to last and withstand the test of time. With our commitment to quality and attention to detail, you can have peace of mind knowing that your bespoke kitchen will provide years of enjoyment and functionality.

Not to worry, our experienced designers understand that every client has unique tastes and preferences when it comes to their kitchen design. That’s why we work closely with you to explore a variety of style options and help you discover a look that truly reflects your personality and lifestyle. From classic to modern, our team can offer expert guidance on colour schemes, finishes, and materials to create a kitchen that meets your needs and aligns with your vision. With our personalised approach and attention to detail, you can trust us to create a kitchen that you’ll love for years to come.

Tell us about the room and what you have in mind. A rough plan or a few photos and the style you like are enough to start. We will give you a guide price before anyone visits, and if it suits your budget, we arrange a free design consultation, measure the room, show you the design in 3D and give you a fixed price before anything is made.

We do. Every cabinet and door is made in our own workshop in Poole and fitted in your home by our own team, so the people who made your kitchen are the people who fit it.

Our finishing is done in-house, by spray or by hand, in a wide choice of colours from the likes of Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Dulux. We also make kitchens in natural timber, such as oak and walnut.

Yes. Our workshop and showroom are at 4 Allens Lane, Poole BH16 5DA, where you can see the quality and the finishes for yourself. Once you have a guide price that suits your budget, get in touch to arrange a time to visit.
