As work continues at pace on this bespoke timber frame home, another exciting milestone has been reached with the installation of the kitchen and bathrooms.
A Bespoke Kitchen Designed for Modern Living
The heart of this home is its spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where the bespoke kitchen is now being installed.
Like many of our projects, the kitchen has been custom designed by our in-house team. Every kitchen is tailored to suit our clients’ individual lifestyle, combining practicality, durability and timeless style to create a space that is both functional and beautiful.
For this home, a G-shaped kitchen layout has been chosen. Also known as a peninsula kitchen, this design extends the traditional U-shaped layout by incorporating an additional peninsula that projects into the room, providing extra worktop space, additional storage and a versatile area that can be used for informal dining, entertaining or everyday family life.
This layout is particularly well suited to open-plan living, subtly defining the kitchen from the surrounding living space while maintaining the light, spacious feel of the room.
The contemporary design will be enhanced by handleless cabinetry in a sophisticated neutral colour palette, creating a clean, uncluttered aesthetic that will remain stylish for years to come.
Contemporary Bathrooms with Premium Finishes
Elsewhere in the home, the bathrooms and ensuites are also taking shape as the plumbing and tiling work nears completion.
Large-format floor and wall tiles have been installed throughout, creating a seamless, luxurious appearance while offering a practical, easy-to-maintain finish. The bathrooms will be fitted with premium sanitaryware and furniture sourced and supplied by Scandia-Hus, ensuring quality and consistency throughout the home.
A calming palette of neutral tones, natural textures and contemporary finishes has been selected to create elegant, spa-inspired spaces. Features such as wall-hung vanity units, double basins and sleek wet room-style showers add both functionality and a modern sense of luxury.
Looking Ahead
With the kitchen and bathrooms now well underway, the project is entering its final stages. As decorating continues and the finishing touches are applied, this beautiful timber frame home is rapidly approaching completion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a bespoke kitchen a good choice for a self-build home?
A bespoke kitchen is designed specifically around your home, lifestyle and personal preferences. Unlike off-the-shelf kitchens, it maximises the available space, improves functionality and allows you to choose the layout, finishes and storage solutions that best suit your needs.
What are the advantages of a G-shaped kitchen?
A G-shaped kitchen offers generous worktop and storage space while creating a natural separation between the kitchen and living areas in an open-plan room. The additional peninsula can be used as a breakfast bar, dining space or entertaining area, making it a multifunctional design and an excellent choice for contemporary homes.
Why are wall-hung bathroom cabinets so popular?
Wall-hung cabinets create a clean, contemporary appearance and make the room feel larger by exposing more floor space. They are also easier to clean underneath and can be installed at a height that best suits the homeowner.
What are the benefits of tiling bathroom walls from floor to ceiling?
Floor-to-ceiling tiles provide excellent protection against moisture while giving the bathroom a sleek, luxurious finish. They are durable, easy to maintain and help create a seamless look that can make the room feel more spacious.
When are the kitchen and bathrooms usually installed during a self-build project?
The kitchen and bathrooms are typically installed after the first fix works and plastering have been completed. Once these rooms are fitted, the project enters the final stages, with finishing touches such as decorating, flooring and lighting being completed before handover.
