How to get a kitchen to rival the Real Housewives of Cheshire

It may be a guilty pleasure, but many of us have been hooked on watching the TV series the Real Housewives of Cheshire whether we live in that part of the country or not! But for those of us watching who DO live in Cheshire; it is not difficult to feel an even higher affinity (and a touch of jealousy!) with the polished wives and their lives – especially their houses and the interior decors that just blow you away.

Kitchen envy

They say the heart of the home is the kitchen and this is true even for those who live the most lavish of lifestyles. Preparing food, eating, socialising etc. are all bonding rituals that nurture family relationships and friendships even when there is lots of drama thrown in! However, the kitchen is more than the emotional hub of a property. It also offers the chance to make a major design statement as well as fulfilling the practical needs of your daily living – after all – there is always cooking and washing to be done whether you do it yourself or have staff do it for you!

The Real Housewives of Cheshire count property developers and interior designers amongst their number so with this passion and attention to detail combined with a sky’s the limit budget; it is no wonder that they have kitchens in Cheshire that most of us feel we can only drool over and never experience for ourselves.

Kitchen fairy

However, you too can get a kitchen to rival the Real Housewives of Cheshire by choosing to work with a company that acts as your very own kitchen fairy! They offer handcrafted, bespoke kitchens that work with your dream ideas, property size, style and more importantly your budget because they have the know-how to help you plan a kitchen that truly embraces your lifestyle as well as making a design statement within your home. If you consider just the following few ideas; all it takes is a little bit of creative thinking and touches of the right materials and features in the right places to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!

Make the most of your space

You may not have a pool or the fanciest of barbeques, but you can make the most of your entertaining space whether it’s creating an open plan feel or even extending your kitchen space to include outside al fresco space!

Choose your own colour palette

Nothing says more bespoke than your very own colour palette. You can have your cabinets painted in any shade you wish which means that you could technically change your kitchen as many times as you change your hairstyle!

It’s all about the little touches

Dawn and Ashley Ward may have marble flooring, solid walnut fixtures and a ladder to reach their two-storey wine selection but you can create a similar feel with a smaller budget and floor plan by incorporating modern and luxurious touches into your own kitchen design. It may be a built-in wine cooler to chill your favourite bottle after a hard day’s shopping, a metal cabinet style kitchen island or a quartz work surface with integrated herb garden – now that really is the height of culinary flair!

Practical yet quality

High-end ranges include Quooker, Miele, Villeroy & Boch, Caple and Shaws, so no longer do appliances need to be hidden but are a style statement in their own right!

While it’s likely that the RHOC have spent a fortune on their kitchens, savvy Cheshire housewives with a lower budget can get just as great a kitchen, if they shop around for the right kitchen company to suit, that is!
