A kitchen is referred to as the heart of the home. It’s where you gather with family, where you entertain friends, where you read the weekend paper and often eat. It’s why investing in a handcrafted luxury kitchen can enhance your life – and add substantially to the resale value of your property.
What does the term ‘handcrafted’ really mean in the world of luxury kitchens?
What makes a luxury kitchen handcrafted?
Most kitchen companies have a standard library of parts they offer you, and they machine-cut every component to size. It means that practically nothing is actually touched by hand, and you’re limited to the choices on offer.
A handcrafted luxury kitchen is one that is designed and then built entirely to your specifications. There are no set sizes or materials or colour schemes to choose from: everything is made for you to your taste and style, using artisans who craft everything by hand from scratch.
Hand-drawn, hand-made, hand-crafted kitchens
At Grech & Grech, each and every project is individually designed for the client and made entirely by hand. We start out sketching a design with a pencil and pad, working our ideas up into inspirational mood boards. When it comes to constructing components, we work every piece of wood, marble, tile and screw by hand. And when we build and apply finishes to cabinets, it’s always by hand to ensure the finest fit and glossiest gloss.
At Grech & Grech, there are no standard sizes and colours. There are no recommended materials, or designs. Everything is one-of-a-kind, unique to you, bespoke and hand-finished. It makes us pretty unique in the world of handcrafted luxury kitchens.
What makes a handcrafted luxury kitchen so much better?
A handcrafted luxury kitchen is a thing of joy for many reasons. As our Creative Director Will Grech says, “When you commission a truly bespoke luxury kitchen, you have absolute freedom in what you want. If you want to mirror a feature in your Georgian home, no problem! Maybe you want to build in as much tech as you can. Or you’re super tidy so choose for all appliances hidden away for a sleek and pared-down look. You’re entirely in the driving seat.”
As there are also no fixed sizes, collections or ranges, our craftspeople will customise the depth of drawers, the shape of cabinets, the angle of curves and so on. It means everything is built especially by hand for your space, resulting in the perfect design and fit.
As we like to say, we have a unique hands-on approach to every luxury kitchen.
