Equally, kitchen technology is an ever-evolving wonder that can make life easier while adding value to the luxury bespoke kitchen investment. As such, incorporating modern appliances into traditional kitchen favourites is a core consideration in bespoke kitchen design. There are four key areas that experts will focus on, and today we take you on a quick insider’s tour of what to look out for. ## **[![Request A Brochure](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143827324/c4366424-e341-428f-b2cd-7e3046b16b0a.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/143827324/c4366424-e341-428f-b2cd-7e3046b16b0a)** ## **1. Respect The Triangle** The kitchen work triangle is a powerful ally in all types of kitchen design and appliance fitting. First described by psychologist and industrial engineer Lillian Moller Gilbreth, the triangle rule describes the most ergonomic layout for each kitchen space. There are six classic kitchen shapes, and each allows for appliances to be geometrically balanced so that they are do not dominate the design. The triangle encourages thoughtful juxtapositions and demands symmetry. As such, it compliments and integrates with any overarching design theme such as the timeless Georgian favourite. ## **2. Blend And Integrate** Design mastery in classic bespoke kitchens is about seamless integration. Fitting appliances should not interrupt the vision or the narrative. Instead, they can be quietly nestled inside it. ‘Hidden’ appliances can be easily achieved with the addition of [hand-made cabinetry](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/kitchen-design/wooden-kitchens/) in a classic custom kitchen, while thoughtful choices of brand and style can effortlessly compliment a well-planned space. For instance, brushed chrome appliances can be delicately accented with matching fixtures and fittings, inviting a subtle and brief blush of modernity into a classic space. The inclusion of [statement lighting](https://blog.drewforsyth.co.uk/kitchen-statement-lighting) can provide careful illumination that tells the story of your classic custom kitchen. ## **3. Remember To Breathe!** When visions of bespoke cabinetry and gleaming hand-crafted countertops are swirling, it can be easy to overlook some of the practical conditions that accompany kitchen spaces. [Ventilation is crucial](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351891636_The_performance_of_different_ventilation_methods_in_residential_kitchens_with_different_spatial_organizations_A_literature_review) for a variety of reasons. Without proper ventilation, kitchens can lose their comfort, and materials such as wood can require extra maintenance. In new-build kitchens, ventilation can be easily incorporated. In heritage properties, there are multiple solutions. For instance, even [Grade I Listed rules and regulations](https://nethouseprices.com/news/show/2917/new-kitchen-in-a-listed-building-what-are-the-issues) will allow for a well-proportioned ventilation hood. Therefore, work with your design team to enable your space to breathe. ## **4. Customise And Adjust** When fitting appliances in a classic [custom kitchen](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/about-us/), some customisation and adjustment is often helpful. The secret to timeless design is to ensure that the geometry of the bespoke kitchen is perfectly aligned, something that skilled craftsmen will [detail](https://blog.drewforsyth.co.uk/detail-custom-kitchen-design) to fractions of millimetres. Underpinning this is ergonomic sensitivity, which is one of the many personal touches that makes the luxury bespoke kitchen space uniquely yours. As such, be prepared to consider techniques such as custom cabinetry to ensure that your modern kitchen appliances do not interrupt the classic custom kitchen flow. ## **What Next?** To explore the beautiful, hand-crafted options that are waiting for you, book a [design consultation](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/contact-us/) with Drew Forsyth today.
