A Rich, Grounded Colour Palette.

Timber Detail That Connects the Whole Space.

Oak plays an important role throughout the design, bringing natural texture, warmth and craftsmanship into the room. The bespoke oak dresser provides open display shelving, practical drawers and enclosed storage, offering a furniture-like feature that feels perfectly suited to the character of the home.

Oak details continue within the cabinetry, including bespoke storage inserts, drawer fronts and wine storage. These timber elements create a soft contrast against the painted cabinetry and add a handcrafted quality that can be seen and felt.

The use of oak also helps the new kitchen feel connected to the exposed beams and timber architecture, creating a cohesive design language across the whole space.

The result is a modern luxury kitchen that feels elegant, practical and welcoming. Every detail has been considered, from the generous island and raised oak breakfast bar to the concealed bar cabinet with wine storage, glass rails and integrated lighting.

A Bespoke Bar and Entertaining Area.

Practical Storage with a Sense of Occasion

A standout feature of this kitchen is the beautifully detailed bar and drinks storage area. Glass-fronted cabinets, oak shelving, wine racks, hanging glass storage and a softly illuminated interior create a practical yet atmospheric space for entertaining.

The warm metallic splashback adds richness and reflection, catching the light and bringing a subtle sense of luxury to the room. Combined with the darker painted cabinetry and oak interior details, it creates a layered, inviting feature that feels both functional and elegant.

This is bespoke design at its best: a practical area for bottles, glassware and serving essentials, transformed into a beautiful focal point within the kitchen.

FAQs

Everything you need to know.

Designing a bespoke kitchen is a significant decision, and it's natural to have questions along the way. If there's something you don't see here, our design team is always happy to talk it through.

  • Can you design special cabinetry features such as spice racks, cutlery inserts, or hidden storage?

    Yes — it’s one of the joys of an Evie Willow bespoke design. From hand-crafted cutlery inserts and larder shelving to secret drawers and sliding spice racks, we tailor every detail to your needs.

  • Do you offer guidance on worktops, sinks, taps, and handles?

    We do. As part of our design process, we’ll guide you through all of these choices, from stone worktops to tap finishes. Our showroom includes examples so you can see and feel the options in person.

  • Can I choose the wood, finishes, and paint colours for my kitchen?

    Yes. We work with beautiful natural timbers such as oak, walnut, and ash, each with its own character. You can choose natural oils, stains, paints or various innovative materials to achieve the look you want — while still celebrating the strength and craftsmanship beneath.

  • Where do I start if I’m interested in a bespoke Evie Willow kitchen?

    The best place to begin is by getting in touch with our design team. You can call, email, or book a consultation. From there, we’ll guide you through every step — ideally, you’ll visit us in our Showroom and Workshop in Minster Lovell to take a closer look at what we do. Then make sure to follow our social media channels @eviewillowkitchens to follow our latest work and see what we are making. You can read more about our process here.
