Details count in bespoke kitchen design. Just like shoes and accessories enhance your outfit, so handle, taps, accent material and colour can elevate kitchen cabinets to the next level. Adding those all-important finishing touches to your luxury kitchen design will make the space uniquely yours. But where to start? Do you want a chunky bronze kitchen cupboard handle? Or have you got your eye on fluted glass panelling? With so many different options available, it can be tricky deciding what design details are best for your luxury kitchen room. Help is at hand. When you choose a bespoke kitchen from Roundhouse, we work with you to perfect every last design detail, however big or small.

Read on and discover 5 key design details that will take your kitchen cabinets from special to extra-special.

Be creative with fluted glass

Glass kitchen cabinets have long been a go-to design feature at Roundhouse – instilling a light and airy mood into any kitchen design. Lit from within, glass fronts are also the perfect design tool for showing off a display of prized crockery. But it is fluted glass kitchen cabinets that are stealing the show right now. This decorative glass features vertical grooves or ridges, adding visual interest while subtly screening off what’s stored inside. In this Classic kitchen design, fluted glass wall cupboards create a dynamic interplay with the charcoal kitchen cabinets. The result is a lesson in chic kitchen elegance. Head to our Ping luxury kitchen too and discover how an exquisite mix of smoked fluted glass and brass frames becomes the star feature.

Try fluted wood kitchen cabinets

If the trend for fluted glass has whetted your creative appetite, how about fluted wood kitchen cabinets. This subtle fluted detailing, carved into natural wood doors, is a favourite way to add visual and tactile gravitas to a kitchen design. Inspired by the Japandi design trend, the look is minimal, simple and clean-lined. Our Bulpitt kitchen effortlessly showcases this blend of Japanese and Scadinavian influences with fluted kitchen cabinets in book matched oak veneer. Kitchen cabinets are finished off with waxed brass edge pulls for a slick, streamlined mood that remains warm and inviting. Take the fluted trend one step further with a fluted marble design detail as seen in our Kinsey kitchen – low-key luxe at its very best.

Master metallic kitchen accents

It isn’t difficult to see the appeal of a metallic kitchen detail. Our Roundhouse team are experts in planning metallic kitchen accents where it counts most. Antique brass panelling on a bespoke kitchen island is a striking visual uptick for your kitchen centrepiece. Or else warm metallic framing around kitchen cabinets or a copper-wrapped splashback will create so much with very little. That’s not to say there isn’t a place for cooler metals like patinated silver, chrome, nickel, and stainless steel. In fact these sleek finishes are making a comeback for 2025. There’s even a strong design appetite for mixing metallics in the same kitchen (check out our Fawnbrake project) for a relaxed, eclectic vibe.

Don’t forget kitchen taps

From pot fillers to pull-out hoses, kitchen taps are a key design detail that shouldn’t be overlooked. Long gone are the days when a simple hot and cold kitchen tap would do the job for your luxury kitchen. Here at Roundhouse we can help you choose the best kitchen tap that looks the part and performs brilliantly. Quooker kitchen taps that dispense instant boiling water are a popular fixture. They replace a kettle with a constant stream of hot water and free up precious worktop space at the same time. But how about a kitchen tap that also provides cold, filtered water on demand and in some cases sparkling water too. Let us help you upgrade your eau zone with a fabulous kitchen tap.

Focus on kitchen cupboard handles

Kitchen cupboard handles might just be the most important design detail you’ll make. A door knob, handle or finger pull is what allows you access to inside your kitchen cupboards. And unless you go handle-free, your choice of kitchen cupboard handle is a really visible part of your luxury kitchen– and there are plenty on show. Handles are the most well-used fixture in a kitchen so make sure you get it right first time. Look for neat kitchen knobs, long bar handles or classic cup handles that are practical, durable and beautiful. Choose a kitchen cupboard door handle that suits the look, colour and style of your bespoke kitchen. We have seen a style renaissance in linear bar handles with a modern, refined silhouette. Robust, tactile and beautiful…
