Some people struggle with the amount of color to add to a room. How much is too much? And how much is enough to keep a room from looking sterile or boring? Today I’ve found a colorful bespoke kitchen that enjoys a pleasing balance of various hues.
Wood floors, white walls, and light gray kitchen cabinets provide a solid foundation for adding color.
Your eye is immediately drawn to the stove area. Shelves are lined with colorful dishware and a pair of animal heads create a cheery vibe.
Red and white star-patterned tiles add a pleasing brush of background color above the stove.
If you’re not familiar with the term, bespoke means tailor-made. You won’t find cookie cutter design since the space is customized to the homeowner’s wishes.
The term bespoke is used more frequently in the U.K. than it is in the U.S. I love all of the custom work created by deVOL Kitchens in the U.K. Their motto is “Simple Furniture. Beautifully Made.”
A pale blue kitchen island blends well with the gray cabinets. It adds another element of color in a soft hue so as not to compete with the other colors. Pretty pendant lights add a functional and appealing touch.
A large window above the farmhouse sink keeps the space bright and cheery.
Gold fixtures lend an element of glamour. A few empty vases add a bit more color in the bespoke kitchen.
Pitchers, canisters, and everyday dishes add color and whimsy on the shelves of the built-in cubby.
If we ever replace our kitchen cabinets (which I hope to do in the next couple of years), I think I’d like something similar to this kitchen.
Are you a fan of the bespoke kitchen?

April 19, 2018 at 9:48 amI do like this kitchen, with the exception of the “colorful” tile around the range. I guess I’m just a neutral person at heart, but I do love the gray cabinets, the wood floor, the countertops, and the unique pieces that catch your eye. That embellished copper teakettle on the stove is amazing.

I can almost see tablecloths hanging in the tall cabinet, napkins and tea towels in the drawers. I also liked the stairway coming down to the kitchen, no one would know when you raid the frig at midnight.

April 19, 2018 at 3:21 pmI love that Kitchen! The tiles behind the stove are such an interesting element. I think my husband would not appreciate them, though. Years ago, like 15 or so, I first came across the term bespoke when drooling over UK home decor magazines. I asked a man from England whom I worked with what the word meant. He didn’t Know! I figured it meant either custom made, or DIY. But I like the term, tailor made, the best.
