SUPPLIER Peden & Pringle
Instead, its functions are disguised, its appliances hidden behind sleek, gleaming cabinet doors in streamlined units that wouldn’t look out of place in a living room.
But some homeowners are rebelling, turning down smooth, featureless surfaces in favour of something more tactile and personal. The owner of this mews property in the west end of Edinburgh, for instance, wanted a characterful kitchen to complement her home’s distinctive interior. To get something genuinely bespoke, she turned to local cabinetmakers Peden & Pringle. “The word ‘bespoke’ is often misused these days,” says Adam Peden. “A lot of companies claim to be bespoke, but their customers can only pick from a ‘range’ or a brochure – they won’t get the unique product they think they’re buying. But we make all our cabinets by hand in consultation with the client, so no two kitchens are ever the same.”
