Easter is more than just a holiday (religious or otherwise) – it’s a celebration of renewal, tradition, and the joy of gathering with friends and family. As spring breathes new life into our surroundings, thoughts turn to Easter entertaining, and a thoughtfully designed bespoke kitchen can set the stage for low effort and relaxed festivities. We may not be in time for this year’s double Bank Holiday weekend, but if you’re plotting a new kitchen, here’s why it’s worth going bespoke.

Made-to-measure storage for seasonal essentials

From the oversized roasting dish that’s perfect for a whole leg of lamb, to the egg-hunting baskets and Easter bunny ears, Easter often calls for items that don’t see the light of day any other time of year. Bespoke kitchens are designed around your lifestyle – with storage tailored to fit your exact needs. Top-cupboards with door-hung ladders for seasonal decorations, deep drawers for bakeware, tall cupboards for vases and cake stands, hidden larders for dry goods. In a luxury bespoke kitchen everything has a place, so you won’t be still searching for those Easter essentials when guests arrive.

Room to gather (and to relax)

Whether it’s a table big enough for 10, a sociable island where the children can decorate cupcakes, or a quiet corner for intimate catchups and a hot cross bun – a bespoke kitchen layout can be designed to support effortless Easter hosting. Open-plan or broken-plan, your kitchen can be as lively or as calm as you desire.

And if you need more hands-on-deck when it comes to prepping that mammoth Sunday roast, speak to a Roundhouse designer about zoning for multiple chefs. An extra prep sink, perfectly positioned fridges, dedicated drinks station and double dishwashers can all help to create a more flexible cooking space.

Show-stopping spring style

Easter is a celebration of colour and light – so if spring is your season, why not reflect that in your kitchen’s colour palette? When commissioning a bespoke design, every detail can be selected to suit your personal preferences and style. From pale or pastel lacquered cabinetry to warm, natural timbers and beautifully crafted hardware, an uplifting palette will bring joy year-round, but at Easter it becomes part of the occasion. Add vases of tulips and daffodils and a branch draped in pastel mini eggs, for an instant seasonal update.

Effortless flow from prep to plate

One of the biggest benefits of a bespoke kitchen is how smoothly it works – with precision planning, Easter entertaining really will be a breeze. With appliances exactly where you need them, spacious worktops for rolling out pastry, pre-prepping canapés and serving up buffets, plus intuitive placement of all your ingredients and tools, preparing Easter lunch will feel easy and relaxed. When the plates are all emptied, pull-out bins and clever storage will make resetting for round two (aka desserts, like our classic apple pie) just as simple. Those seeking professional-grade speed, performance and efficiency should consider a bespoke chef’s kitchen designed for serious home cooks.

Designed for real life

Let’s face it, Easter entertaining can get a little messy, especially when the little ones are involved in baking or crafting. One of the ultimate joys of going for a bespoke kitchen is the ability to select cabinet finishes, worktops and splashbacks that look stylish and stand up to busy family life. Hardwearing surfaces, fingerprint resistant finishes, easy-to-clean flooring – it all leads to a bespoke kitchen that can handle spills and splashes and come out the other side looking as good as new. With plenty of clever storage for everything from aprons to art supplies, you can go from egg decorating to lunch prep without a moment’s stress.

A bespoke kitchen isn’t just about style, it’s about creating a living space that works beautifully for the way you and your family live, cook, and celebrate. So, whether you’re hosting a full Easter feast for a crowd, or simply enjoying a slow Sunday brunch with a few favourites, an expertly designed bespoke kitchen can make all the difference.
