The kitchen is the centre of many homes. It's the place where food is made, the family congregates and lots of memorable conversations are had. Plus, many of the best parties are meant to take place there. For all of these reasons and more, having a good kitchen is really important in making a house a home. For the ultimate luxury in kitchen design, having a bespoke, handmade wooden kitchen fitted could be one of the best investments you ever make.While Formica may have been a popular and practical option for many kitchens over the years, wood is now an increasingly popular quality option. Not only is it hardwearing and durable if you go for solid wood surfaces but it looks absolutely fantastic, adding a true earthy, homey feel to your kitchen even if you live in the middle of a city.A wooden kitchen provides you with lots of different benefits, making it a simply sensational choice for every house. Not only are there many kinds of solid wood for you to choose from (such as ash, beech, birch, oak and walnut), but you also have your pick of different colours and finishes. You could go for a simple sealed wood that retains all of its natural beauty but is still really easy to keep clean and hygienic, or perhaps a dark varnished wood for a striking effect. You could also have painted wood to match the colour scheme in the rest of your kitchen - go for light colours for a bright, airy feel or darker colours if you're looking to make a bold statement.Handmade wooden kitchens are normally bespoke, meaning that your individual needs and designs can be catered to. This is a great way of buying a new kitchen, as working together with a professional ensures you'll get exactly what you want. You're not just limited to wooden worktops, either - you can also choose from some great wooden doors, floors, pan stands and chopping boards to make sure all your kitchen apparatus will properly complement each other. Having your bespoke wooden kitchen fitted for you also means that it takes the stress out of changing your room and you'll be safe in the knowledge that your new fittings will go spectacularly well together.Of course, the care procedure for a fitted wooden kitchen is slightly different to other types of kitchen (such as with marble or Formica surfaces), but this isn't hard to do and it means that your beautiful wooden kitchen will look amazing for years to come. It's simply a case of giving the wood an oiling from time to time to keep it in top condition.Once you've chosen your ideal wooden kitchen, all you have to do is pick the accessories to go with to complete your beautiful new room. This means picking out sinks, cookers, taps and other appliances to complement your wooden surfaces and give your kitchen the 'wow' factor. You can be sure that with such a brilliant kitchen, people will be asking you about it for years to come and you'll enjoy it for the rest of your life.
