Whether you’re hosting the Big Day feast or Christmas Eve cocktails, make a beeline for your bespoke kitchen design – it can do it all. But before you send out the invites, there are a few key ingredients that will turn your luxury kitchen into the party hotspot of the home. From seating to kitchen storage ideas, our foolproof plan will leave you relaxed and full of festive spirit. Get ready to welcome guests into your beautiful bespoke kitchen. Party planning here we come…

Make use of kitchen storage ideas

Entertaining at home means more food and drink. So you’ll need to make space in your luxury kitchen for extra seasonal treats. Start by organising and decluttering your bespoke kitchen design so you can see what you have at a glance. Here at Roundhouse, we love creating clever kitchen storage ideas that make entertaining at home a breeze. Kitchen pantry cabinets and walk in larders are popular storage solutions for stocking up – and it’s easy to see why. They are perfect for stockpiling ingredients, bottles, cans and bulky items so your luxury kitchen room is left clear and clutter-free. Get in touch with a Roundhouse designer today who can tailor kitchen storage ideas to your needs.

Pick luxury kitchen appliances

Budding chefs love to get busy in bespoke kitchen designs at this time of year. That’s why we recommend investing in luxury kitchen appliances to match your luxury kitchen. Consider a large fridge and a large hob for whipping up different dishes all at once. Super-quiet extractor fans that won’t drown out conversation are a real bonus too, especially in open plan dining room and kitchens. And how about a boiling water tap, professional-style oven or built-in wine cooler to correctly store your Chablis and Chardonnay. At Roundhouse we can help you decide on the best appliances to suit your cooking habits, your budget and your bespoke kitchen design.

Sort out seating in luxury kitchens

Christmas get-togethers need seating. And if there’s space, a kitchen dining table is perfect for sit-down dinners or laying out a buffet of delicious food. But don’t worry if your luxury kitchen is on the smaller side. Our Roundhouse experts love getting creative with kitchen dining designs. If you have room for a separate kitchen dining table, invest in comfortable chairs or built-in benches for a relaxed mood. If this isn’t an option, a modern kitchen island with seating is a great place to perch with a drink or two! You can also line up bar stools along a breakfast bar for an extra sitting area.

Introduce a built in cocktail bar

Christmas cocktails are guaranteed to get everyone in the festive spirit. So why not elevate your luxury kitchen with a built in cocktail bar. We can design bespoke kitchen cabinets for stashing glassware, ice buckets, decanters and aperitifs all in one place. The style is up to you. Choose glass shelving and metallic details lit from above for an Art Deco-style built in cocktail bar. Or consider a pocket door kitchen cabinet like this luxury kitchen so you can shut away all your cocktail kit when the party is done. Together we can create a bespoke kitchen design where entertaining is an extra-special affair for everyone.

Shine a light on kitchen lighting ideas

We are experts at kitchen lighting ideas to ensure your hardworking space can switch easily to a party-perfect room. The key is a layered lighting scheme for every luxury kitchen – especially one that’s used regularly for entertaining. Ceiling spotlights are great for general lighting along with under counter LEDs to illuminate modern worktops for preparing food. Add in wall lamps and pendants for ambience. And then for a festive glow up, string twinkly fairy lights across your bespoke kitchen design and hang a disco ball up high. Time to get the party started…
