Personalise your drawer fronts with labels such as “Bread”, “Treats”, “Pasta”, “Baking” or “Grains”. This keeps your kitchen organised, stylish and meaningful – perfect for the home cook or a baking enthusiast. We have many great examples of this shown throughout this blog.
Quotes & Sayings
Add an inspiring quote, a favourite lyric or a phrase to your cabinetry that resonates with your family, it will become part of your daily routine. Your breakfast bar or kitchen island could have the following carved along it, “The heart of the home is the kitchen”.
One of our favourite quotes we carved into one of our kitchen designs was “Spice up your life”, a famous quote from The Spice Girls. This was engraved into a spice cupboard located above the hob with a double cabinet door. True Spice Girls fans will understand!
