A drinks cabinet is no longer the domain of the hostess with the most-ess – remember Beverly, from Abigail’s Party? Things have moved on exponentially in the intervening years. They are now über cool with interior magazines and glossy brochures awash with drinks trolleys and cabinets.
Wine storage and furniture that blurs the line between kitchen, cooking and living spaces are now particularly in demand. Recent designs by bespoke kitchen company Roundhouse reflect this increasing interest. Many of their recent projects include bespoke wine storage and freestanding furniture.
With pressure on every inch of space in urban homes, combined with a desire for a large social area where family and friends can gather, there’s a growing requirement for bespoke storage that not only absolutely fits the space but is also precisely tailored to each individual lifestyle.

For the open plan look, storage is absolutely crucial. A kitchen should be a meeting of design aesthetics and functionality, so incorporating copious storage means the surfaces can be kept clutter-free. Cabinets that house glassware, wine fridges and bespoke wine storage are a smart solution to keeping all your drinks kit in one place.
Opting for a bespoke solution means that shelves, dining table, audio-visual units, in fact any living room furniture, can be matched to that of your kitchen. This gives a more streamlined look, blurring the boundaries between areas, perfect for open plan spaces. Roundhouse bespoke kitchens are designed with storage cleverly packed into an array of cupboards and drawers leaving your surfaces free of clutter.
Another advantage of bespoke furniture built to fit regardless of size and shape is that it offers an almost limitless range of finishes, materials, colours, fittings and styles. Individual cabinets or freestanding pieces can be made to match your existing kitchen and many finishes are totally unique.
