The beauty of bespoke kitchen design is that it is entirely yours. It’s more than just picking out cabinets and worktops; it’s about designing a space that complements your life, surpasses your expectations, and adds those small daily indulgences that make home life feel exceptional. Even on a drizzly Monday morning with a full day of work looming.
Be it a cosy breakfast nook bathed in gentle morning light, drawers that glide shut with effortless grace, or an elegantly designed wine room to cradle your cherished collection, every element is crafted with you in mind. At Roundhouse Design, we believe true luxury is found in personalisation, where masterful craftsmanship intertwines with boundless creativity, ensuring every corner of your kitchen feels purposefully curated and enduringly exquisite.
Discover why bespoke kitchens remain the gold standard in luxury living.
Craftsmanship lies at the very core of every luxury bespoke kitchen. This isn’t about uniform units churned out by countless factory lines with scarcely a human touch. It’s about the artistry of time-honoured joinery techniques, meticulously hand-finished surfaces, and detailing that only skilled artisans can achieve. That’s not to imply we’ve shunned modern manufacturing technology at Roundhouse; our Malvern factory is equipped with some of the most advanced machinery in the industry. Concurrently, our approach remains deeply human-focused, drawing on traditional hands-on expertise that no robot can currently hope to replicate.
Our newest bespoke wine room exemplifies crafted perfection. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted to exact specifications, it features striking, black-framed glass doors that reveal exquisite joinery, ambient lighting, and specialist finishes. Whether you’re an avid collector or enjoy hosting guests, bespoke wine storage offers a personal and elegantly crafted statement within your home.
Craftsmanship goes beyond just aesthetics; it’s about functionality and tactile experience. Drawers glide effortlessly on precision runners, cabinet doors align perfectly as they close, and every surface feels robust and substantial. True craftsmanship is a daily luxury you can both see and feel.
One of the joys of bespoke kitchen design is the ability to incorporate personal details that make you smile every time you use them. In the kitchen, this could be a breakfast pantry complete with a built-in coffee station, bespoke spice drawers tailored to your preferred selections, or dedicated larder drawers labelled for each family member.
At Roundhouse, we collaborate closely with our clients to grasp how they live, identify the little indulgences that spark joy, and discern what they’re content to forgo. There’s no standardised approach here and that’s exactly what makes your journey enjoyable.
With bespoke kitchens, it’s not just the exterior finishes that deserve attention – the interiors can be every bit as beautiful. Every Roundhouse project is tailored to your wants and needs.
Take our fitted wardrobes as an example. Concealed behind refined doors, you may discover soft-close drawers lined with luxurious leather, built-in watch charging stations, and subtle mood lighting that gently illuminates upon opening.
The same applies for the kitchen: think pull-out storage with integrated lighting, and beautifully veneered internal drawers that look as good open as they do when closed. By tailoring storage solutions to your needs, we ensure your space reflects who you are.
Luxury bespoke isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s also about smart problem-solving. Our design team loves finding ways to solve tricky design challenges. A concealed extractor seamlessly tucked within a custom hood, cabinetry artfully angled to complement a sloping ceiling, or ingenious approaches to tricky corner spaces, each design element is thoughtfully crafted to suit the distinctive character of your home. Such meticulous personalisation guarantees that your kitchen and fitted furniture remain practical, functional, and a delight to use.
Every Roundhouse bespoke kitchen is made-to-order in our own Malvern factory. This allows us to control quality at every stage, from concept to completion. Our talented designers work hand-in-hand with our experienced project coordinators and skilled craftspeople to ensure every detail is perfect. From start to finish, every cabinet, drawer, and worktop is crafted to meet your exact specification.
Bespoke kitchen design is about creating a space that reflects who you are and how you want to live. That requires expert craftsmanship, thoughtful details, and practical solutions. Every project has you at the heart of it; designed around you, made for you, and fitted with expert precision.

Premium appliance manufacturer, Miele is proud to have upgraded all of the 60cm dishwashers in its collection (including within its G 5000 and G 7000 ranges) to energy efficiency rating A - with no effect to retail price.
With this upgrade to its range and almost 100 years of experience in dishwashing, Miele stands out in a leader in energy efficiency. With the comprehensive portfolio update of the G 5000 series, maximum energy efficiency is now available in all price ranges, meeting the most important purchasing criteria for consumers.
The completely redesigned successor models for the entry level G 5000 range achieves top marks for energy efficiency, with an optimal balance of reduced power consumption and adjusted programme running times and temperatures. Meanwhile, the AutoOpen automatic door opening function, which was previously only available on higher-priced models, plays a particularly important role. This function deliberately switches off the heating phase at the end of the washing programme to significantly reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the door opens slightly, allowing targeted air circulation to remove any residual moisture naturally and providing optimum drying performance. This feature also prevents any damage to kitchen cabinetry fronts - vital in ensuring the long-term durability and aesthetic appeal of surrounding furniture surfaces.
As an additional convenience feature, the upgraded models in the G 7000 range offer the AutoDos automatic dosing aid with integrated PowerDisk. This measures out the correct amount of powder granules precisely, reliably preventing under or overdosing, therefore ensuring consistently high cleaning results. What’s more, models in the G 7000 range that were already QuietMark approved will continue to hold this accreditation.
“Sustainability is part of our basic setup - even in the entry-level class, where we’ve actually achieved leaps in energy efficiency of up to three label classes,” says Dr. Michael Junker, Senior Vice President Business Unit Dishwashing at Miele. “Our goal was to establish environmentally friendly dishwashing as a basic expectation, not as an optional extra. Our revamped dishwasher range offers a compelling overall package that combines energy-efficient washing programmes and functionality with an attractive price-performance ratio.”
As with all Miele dishwashers, the updated range has been tested to last for 20 years - further demonstration of the brand’s commitment to quality. With a portfolio that is even more consistently focused on resource conservation and efficiency, Miele once again emphasises that sustainability is more than just an energy efficiency label, also evident in Miele’s responsible use of resources throughout the entire life cycle.

This week’s instalment of the Project of the Week series features a Scandi inspired kitchen design by 2024 SBID Awards Finalist, Ledbury Studio.
Ledbury Studio was commisioned to design furniture for the kitchen, dining area, tv snug and hallway/bootroom, so that the design flowed seamlessly throughout this open plan lower ground floor space for this Kensington project. Our client's design aesthetic was " Australian/Scandi", reflecting the cool simplicity of Scandinavian style, mixed with the warmth of her native country, Australia.
Category: Kitchen Design
Design Practice: Ledbury Studio
Project Title: The Kensington Kitchen
Project Location: London, United Kingdom
Design Practice Location: London, United Kingdom
The client’s brief was to create a kitchen that aligned with her ‘Australian Scandi’ design aesthetic as part of a major two-year refurbishment of her seven-floor Kensington home. She wanted interiors that reflected the cool simplicity of Scandinavian style while incorporating the warmth of her native Australia. Beyond the kitchen, I was also tasked with de-signing furniture for the dining area, TV snug, boot room, office, and dressing room.
To meet the design brief, I chose natural and painted oak for the cabinetry, keeping the scheme as light and fresh as its surroundings. The pale oak is meticulously book-matched on the drawers of the hob run and island, while the full-height cupboards are painted white - ensuring they run all the way to the ceiling without overwhelming the space. For a show-stopping effect, I placed fluted oak panels on the outside of the island and around the base of the breakfast bar. In addition, the Statuario marble worktop cascades down the end of the island in a striking waterfall effect.
There are many fine details in this kitchen. All the hand-crafted handles are made from patinated brass, as are the kickplates and the surrounds on the oak drawers. I also used patinated brass for the trim on the extractor hood - painted in the same matt white as the cupboards - and for the hanging rack over the island. This sculptural piece not only serves as an eye-catching focal point but also provides task lighting, additional storage, and a space to display trailing house plants. It is suspended from a curved section of ceiling, which is tiled in white and lit around its perimeter.
This kitchen is all about pared-back luxury, but it is also beautifully clutter-free, thanks to cabinets that conceal a wealth of useful storage - everything has its place. For example, the tall pantry cupboard not only stores bulky dried goods but also conceals the microwave, keeping the work surfaces clear.
One of the toughest challenges we faced during this project was getting the large marble slabs for the island into the kitchen. Given the sheer size and weight of the Statuario mar-ble, manoeuvring it into a seven-floor Kensington home was no small feat. It required me-ticulous planning, a highly skilled team, and some creative problem-solving.
The standout highlight of the project must be the drinks cabinet! Designed to seamlessly tie in with the kitchen, it features elegant, fluted oak and glass detailing, complemented by a luxurious Statuario marble worktop and panelling.
The glass-fronted cabinet is softly illuminated from within, transforming the contents into a striking display, while the open shelves are backed with a mirrored panel to enhance depth and reflect the beautifully arranged bottles and decanters. This thoughtful design not only makes the cabinet a functional storage piece but also an eye-catching focal point—perfect for entertaining in style.

Blending Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian functionality, Japandi has transcended trend status to become a cornerstone of modern interiors. Celebrating simplicity, expert craftsmanship and nature-led connections, this enduring design philosophy has quietly informed homes for more than a decade. As Roundhouse Design observed at Milan Design Week 2025, Japandi’s ethos remains as vital as ever, particularly in the heart of the home. For an in-depth look at how these principles can transform any space, download the comprehensive Roundhouse Design brochure.
Wood has always underpinned Japandi’s warm simplicity. In 2025, Roundhouse Design’s team is embracing wood’s individuality more deeply than ever by celebrating unusual grain patterns, textural effects and considered installations. A recent project named Bulpitt showcases bookmatched crown-cut oak veneer that stretches across handle-less push-touch cabinets, creating movement and intrigue. By highlighting the tree’s natural heritage, a luxury bespoke kitchen feels both grounded and inviting. To discuss how wood can shape your bespoke Japandi kitchen, book a design consultation with Roundhouse experts.
Early Japandi schemes favoured strict monochromes; today’s interpretations layer warm whites, stone tones and earthy accents such as terracotta, clay, bronze and copper alongside muted greens like sage and moss. These richer, more balanced colour stories allow kitchens to flow effortlessly into open-plan living areas, reinforcing Japandi’s holistic approach to home design.
Functionality meets form in 2025’s storage solutions. Timber-lined drawers with bespoke dividers, removable cutlery trays and floor-to-ceiling glazed cabinets featuring fluted glass and timber frames marry practicality with refined aesthetics. Walk-in larders and pantries concealed by sliding shoji-inspired doors keep clutter at bay, nurturing the zen-like calm that defines modern Japandi kitchens.
As throwaway culture gives way to lasting quality, Japandi’s commitment to enduring construction resonates strongly. Roundhouse Design kitchens fuse time-honoured British joinery with precision engineering by combining frameless cabinets, soft-close mechanisms and integrated LED lighting to promise years of whisper-quiet, reliable performance. Every kitchen is backed by a 10-year guarantee, ensuring peace of mind and true longevity in home design.
Environmental responsibility lies at the core of Japandi and of Roundhouse Design. From concept to completion, sustainability informs every decision: sourcing only FSC-certified timber, partnering with The Woodland Trust to support UK reforestation, and operating a biomass-fired factory that repurposes offcuts to minimise waste.
To bring Japandi to life in your home, download the brochure, book a design consultation or visit one of Roundhouse Design’s seven showrooms in Wigmore Street, Clapham, Fulham, Richmond, Cambridge, Guildford or Cheltenham to experience these ideas firsthand.
This week’s instalment of the Project of the Week series features a timeless family kitchen design by 2024 SBID Awards Finalist, Snug Kitchens.
Snug Kitchens transformed a traditional home in Newbury, Berkshire, into an open-plan haven for a young, growing family. Collaborating closely with local architects, interior designers, and builders, we created a versatile kitchen that serves as the home's social hub. The design emphasises durability and sustainability, featuring bespoke British-made cabinetry, walnut internals, and heat-resistant porcelain worktops. A forward-facing cooking space, ample storage, and a large island for game preparation were key elements, catering to the client's love for hunting and family needs. This project seamlessly blends practicality, aesthetic appeal, and environmental consciousness.
Design Practice: Snug Kitchens
Project Title: Mulberry House
Project Location: Newbury, United Kingdom
Design Practice Location: Newbury, United Kingdom
Our brief was to design and install the kitchen, pantry, utility room and surrounding cabinetry for Mulberry House in Newbury, Berkshire. Our clients were keen to create an open-plan space that functioned as a social hub, adaptable for entertaining larger groups and for busy everyday family living. This required the kitchen to marry the functionality and practicality of everyday family life with the warmth of the adjacent snug and dining areas.
The client’s young family was at the centre of this project. In the early design stages, we focussed on the architecture of the property when zoning the space to achieve balance between the kitchen and surrounding areas. In order to cater for our clients love for cooking and socializing, it was integral we achieved the perfect flow through the property before looking into the design. Functionality and practicality at the forefront throughout this project, this included material decisions especially in high use areas like the breakfast bar and worktop. Stylistically we studied the property's architecture and concluded a traditional in-frame beaded shaker kitchen best suited the space.
A late addition to this project was an aircon unit being installed in the pantry which significantly lowered the ceiling height. To work around this, we removed the plinth from the open shelving units and sat them directly on the floor. This worked to our advantage as it meant the pantry shelving could be floor to ceiling, maximising the available space.
We love all the small bespoke details we were able to incorporate into this project. Due to our client’s generous budget, we worked with the finest in-frame walnut veneered cabinetry, complete with solid antique brass handles to create a timeless look. It was vital the spaces flowed seamlessly, to achieve this we used the same skirting as the rest of the room and ran the room coving around the front of the tall units to give a ‘built-in’ feel. Where ventilation for in-built appliances was required, we used brass mesh that we powder coated to match the brass handles. Overall, we loved working with our clients to create a space that allows them to grow together as a family.
We believe this project demonstrates all things, Snug Kitchens. Our holistic design approach, bespoke hand-crafted British cabinetry and how we seamlessly integrate with an extended project team. We collaborated closely with Absolute Architecture to establish the interior architecture of the property. The Hive Interior Designers helped bring a strong vision to the overall scheme of the property and along with our detail orientated designers we created a functional and stunning design.
We were extremely proud to be selected as a finalist for the SBID awards this year as it is a recognition of the hard work our whole team puts in. We strive to always add value to every client’s home, enhance their lifestyle and ensure the project runs seamlessly from concept to completion.

If you think that using metal in the kitchen will create a cold and clinical look, then it's definitely time to think again. In the right hands, metal is actually one of the most flexible materials around and can be used to bring a wholly warm and inviting vibe. And unlocking the natural beauty of metallic finishes is both the passion and speciality of Charlie Smallbone, founder of Ledbury Studio.
By hand ageing and patinating everything from copper and brass to zinc and stainless steel, Charlie and his team of artisans craft unique kitchen designs. What they have in common, however, is these are simply beautiful kitchens in which to cook, gather and spend time.
Here are the three wildly different but equally luxurious kitchens created from stainless steel, copper and zinc...
The Oxford kitchen is proof positive that cool and masculine stainless steel can-in the right hands - be made to radiate warmth. The brushed effect on the cabinetry softens the feel and appearance of the metal, which is here further elevated by aged brass accents. Charlie was tasked with matching the metals to the La Cornue range cooker, which was done meticulously by hand, demonstrating the artistry of custom craftsmanship. Teamed with a Carrara marble, English walnut and fluted glass, the overall effect is breathtakingly luxurious.
The brief for the Cotswolds kitchen was to create a design of contrasting textures. To meet this, Charlie chose planks of crown oak for the furniture, which provides a tactile difference with the stainless-steel appliances. For further contrast in the open-plan space, he designed a breakfast and drinks cupboard, clad in patinated Verdigris copper. This showcases the natural variation that occurs when copper ages with all the resulting colour and pattern creating a striking focal point in the dining area of the room.
The owner of this Edwardian villa in the New Forest definitely didn't want a classic kitchen and tasked Charlie with creating something a world away from the standard Shaker. His response was to team beautiful book-matched walnut veneer with hand-patinated zinc panels. The zinc panels are edged in the same walnut and the cupboards feature aged-brass handles. The zinc helps to make a focal point not only of the island, but also the breakfast cupboard behind - and has been used to clad the fridge-freezer in the corner, bringing the whole design together.
Prices for a Ledbury Studio kitchen start from £70,000.
About Ledbury Studio Ltd
Charlie Smallbone needs little introduction. The founder of iconic brand Smallbone of Devizes, he has been pushing the boundaries of kitchen design for over 40 years. Charlie’s latest venture, Ledbury Studio, was born of his desire to harness the beauty of original materials whilst creating practical kitchens that exude style and elegance.
When designing a kitchen for serious cooking, drawing inspiration from the layouts preferred by professional chefs can be incredibly valuable. Since chefs spend countless hours in the kitchen, their expertise offers practical insights that can enhance both the functionality and efficiency of your kitchen design ideas.
Over the years, Roundhouse Design has collaborated with numerous talented chefs, designing both their personal kitchens and the chef-friendly working kitchens in our showrooms. One thing has become clear – when it comes to creating the ultimate chef’s kitchen, the galley layout reigns supreme.
A galley kitchen is a corridor-style layout with two parallel countertops and a central walkway. In narrow kitchens, a single galley is often preferred. Whether single or double galley, this design consistently proves to be the top choice for professionals, offering exceptional workflow efficiency and maximising space in kitchens of all sizes. But what makes this layout so effective, and how can it be adapted to suit different homes? Let’s explore why chefs love the galley kitchen and how you can make it work for your space.
Chefs prefer the galley kitchen layout because it is designed for maximum efficiency, by which we mean minimal walking around the kitchen. With everything positioned within arm’s reach, exactly where you need it, the galley layout minimises unnecessary movement and allows for a smooth workflow. Not great for your step count, but excellent for getting dinner on the table quickly and easily. Ideal for high-intensity cooking, this linear layout keeps prep, cooking and cleaning areas within a few steps of each other. In a single one-wall galley kitchen, you’ll move from side to side – almost like a crab! – whereas a double galley layout provides additional workspace and storage, allowing you to pivot effortlessly between both sides.
The galley layout is very versatile and can work in most kitchens, including small kitchen ideas, but there are a few points to consider. In an ideal world, a galley kitchen should be around 3-4.5m long to accommodate all the essential appliances, storage and sink, with sufficient workspace between. Any shorter, and prep space could get tight; any longer and you’ll lose efficiency. On width, aim for a 1.2m minimum walkway between cabinets and the opposite wall in a single galley and at least 1.8m walkway between the two parallel runs for a double galley layout. This will allow people to pass each other comfortably and doors to be opened without obstructing the aisle.
Many chefs love to entertain while cooking and will opt for an open-plan galley layout, whereby an elongated island sits parallel to a long run of units. This provides all the benefits of a double galley layout but within a much more sociable setting. To make their home kitchens more family-friendly, chefs will often add extra prep spaces and prep sinks on the bespoke island to encourage communal cooking and share skills.
Whatever layout you go for, it’s easy to bring a professional touch to your kitchen. Chefs swear by the working triangle rule, where the sink, cooker and fridge are positioned in a triangle formation for optimal efficiency. When planning storage, aim for a clear view of cupboard contents in one glance – clear storage containers and a label maker are chef essentials. Walk-in pantries with open shelves are also great for gathering ingredients quickly, like professional chefs do in the food stores of commercial kitchens.
Finally, keeping your workspace clutter-free is essential when you’re cooking up a storm. A boiling water tap removes the need for a kettle, while magnetic knife strips and custom in-drawer compartments for utensils and herbs help to minimise countertop clutter, ensuring everything you need is always within easy reach.
There’s plenty to learn from the best layout ideas for a chef’s kitchen. While we can’t promise Michelin-star meals, our made-to-measure service ensures that a bespoke kitchen from Roundhouse will create a professional-grade cooking space that elevates your culinary experience and makes light work of dinnertime. Whether you’re looking for a modern kitchen design, small kitchen design, or a more tailored kitchen cabinet design, pop along to one of our showrooms to find out more.
Matteo De Lise, General Manager at Unox Casa, has given his insights into the industry.
Unox Casa is the high-end residential division of UNOX, the world’s best-selling brand of professional ovens. It was created to bring the performance of the greatest Michelin-starred kitchens into the world’s most exclusive private homes. SuperOven is the first oven to integrate cutting-edge professional technology with iconic Italian design, transforming kitchens into spaces of inspiration, beauty, and performance.
Unox Casa was born from a bold ambition: to bring the power and precision of the world’s finest professional kitchens into private luxury homes. Backed by more than 30 years of UNOX leadership in the restaurant industry, it reimagines culinary excellence for the residential setting.
The idea took shape during the pandemic, when the desire for professional-grade appliances at home intensified. Inspired by UNOX founders’ personal experiences - and by dinner guests who frequently asked how to recreate restaurant-level cooking at home - SuperOven was born. It represents the world’s first professional oven designed specifically for luxury living, fusing elite performance with iconic Italian craftsmanship.
More than an appliance, SuperOven is a design statement. Available in two models - Model 1, a tech-totem with dual chambers, and Model 1S, a compact single-chamber version- it merges professional-grade performance with sculptural elegance, turning the oven into a centrepiece rather than a background element. Unlike traditional appliances that recede quietly into the kitchen, SuperOven stands out with intention thanks to its recognisable aesthetic, striking lines, and finishes that transform it into a jewel of contemporary living, a diamond set into architecture.
Its refined and iconic Italian design allows it to effortlessly integrate into a variety of interior styles - from minimalist and contemporary to industrial or high-tech environments. More than fitting in, it enhances each project by bringing depth, sophistication, and the powerful allure of technology made art. Furthermore, the variety of finishes and installation options (flush, cantilevered, or freestanding) enable a high degree of customisation, empowering designers and homeowners alike to create kitchens that reflect their unique style, vision and personality.
In every home, the kitchen is more than just a functional space: it is the beating heart, a place of connection, creativity, and expression. Within it, the oven is a cornerstone: the silent ally around which rituals and memories are built.
At Unox Casa, we bring a new dimension to this central element through the advanced technology embedded in SuperOven. This innovation transforms the cooking experience, allowing users to express their culinary vision without being bound by technical complexity. The oven’s user-friendly digital control panel allows activation of over 400 automatic cooking programmes, for which all it takes is to select the type of food and the desired result and the oven automatically determines the settings, adapting them to the amount of food being cooked. The oven itself becomes a guide for homeowners - adapting, suggesting, and supporting each step of the cooking process.
This means clients are free to focus on what truly matters: enjoying time, experimenting with flavours and colours, and living the kitchen not as a task, but as a pleasure. Our sector redefines luxury not just through design and materials, but by giving time and creativity to those who live the home.
We believe that every home tells a story, and our mission is to ensure the kitchen becomes one of its most compelling chapters. That’s why we created the Design Concierge: a dedicated service tailored to the unique needs of interior designers and architects.
Our team of experts works closely with design professionals from the earliest stages of a project, offering 360-degree bespoke support - from technical guidance to aesthetic consultation. Whether it’s selecting finishes, defining installation details, or seamlessly integrating SuperOven into a custom kitchen concept, we ensure the product enhances the space both visually and functionally.
Through this collaborative approach, Unox Casa doesn’t merely adapt to a design - it elevates it. SuperOven becomes a sculptural and technological centrepiece that embodies the designer’s vision and enriches the client’s daily experience. Ultimately, it’s about reimagining the kitchen around those who live it, delivering true excellence in every detail.
One of the most significant milestones of the past year has been the global expansion of Unox Casa into new, strategically relevant markets. From our official launch in Turkey, to new openings in many Latin American countries, and a growing presence in the United Arab Emirates, the brand continues to affirm its international vision.
In particular, the debut in the US market during Art Basel marked a major achievement, underscored by SuperOven Model 1S - Black Edition receiving the prestigious Good Design Award. This recognition celebrates not only the product’s technological innovation but also its sculptural elegance - a perfect expression of Italian design excellence.
These new openings reflect our commitment to bringing our iconic lifestyle, Starred Living, to the world’s most discerning homes. Each new market represents an opportunity to build meaningful connections with local design communities and to inspire new ways of living the kitchen as a space of beauty, performance, and creativity.
One of the most prominent trends among our clients today is the desire for kitchen spaces that embody both clarity and purpose: environments that are at once minimalist, multifunctional, and emotionally meaningful. Clients are increasingly seeking orderly, elegant spaces that serve as true gathering points, hubs for family life and social connection.
The kitchen is no longer a backstage area; it is a central stage, where functionality must be paired with refined aesthetics. This means clean lines, hidden technologies, and intuitive layouts that promote efficient movement between appliances and support a seamless daily experience.
In this evolving landscape, SuperOven becomes a silent ally in everyday life, simplifying the preparation of extraordinary meals and inviting everyone, from expert cooks to curious children, to participate in the pleasure of creating together. It’s technology that brings people closer, making the kitchen not just efficient, but truly alive.
In the year ahead, the interior design industry is poised to deepen its focus on digitally empowered living, where technology becomes an invisible yet essential presence in the home. As robotic and intelligent systems take on more daily tasks, domestic spaces will evolve to become cleaner, more intuitive, and inherently minimalist - not just in form, but in function. We foresee a continued rise in designs that embrace ‘quiet’ luxury, expressed through a refined blend of natural and synthetic materials, tactile surfaces, and sculptural elements that awaken the senses.
Within this evolution, the kitchen remains the soul of the home - a space for gathering, creativity, and daily rituals. Here, SuperOven emerges as a natural protagonist, perfectly embodying the balance between technological intelligence and timeless beauty. It frees time, streamlines routines, and above all, brings people together through the shared joy of culinary exploration. Objects of design become real enablers of togetherness, where innovation serves the rituals that truly matter.
We’re particularly excited about the recent launch of the Unox Casa App: a bold step forward in kitchen digitalisation and a perfect embodiment of our vision for the home of the future. As daily life becomes increasingly shaped by smart technologies, people are seeking tools that offer not just automation, but meaningful, intuitive experiences. The Unox Casa App responds to this shift by transforming the SuperOven into a fully connected companion, capable of empowering users wherever they are.
More than just remote control, the App offers a personalised culinary ecosystem. From real-time monitoring of cooking and cleaning cycles to the ability to create and send custom cooking programmes remotely, every detail is designed to simplify routines while unleashing creative freedom. The “Cook Like a Chef” section, a curated library of recipes developed by our own chefs and Michelin-starred partners, turns the App into an endless source of inspiration, like a digital culinary atelier.

Neutral kitchen design never goes out of fashion – after all, timelessness is its USP! Yet subtle seasonal shifts and emerging trends continuously infuse fresh vitality into this classic look, ensuring that neutral kitchen cabinets remain both modern and relevant in homes of all styles. For 2025, Roundhouse designers are anticipating a move away from cool neutrals – pure whites and greys – towards warmer, more inviting neutral kitchen colour schemes.
First spotted at the Milan Furniture Fair and now firmly evident across the interiors landscape, we’re talking about pale browns, soft beiges and warm taupes. Still timeless and easy on the eye, the new neutrals trend is all about incorporating earthy colours that bring a sense of nature indoors, instilling a sense of calm and balance into contemporary kitchens. What’s not to love? Here’s how to bring this refreshing trend into your kitchen.
One of the easiest ways to work the earthy neutrals trend in kitchens is by integrating natural materials like wood and stone. Timber toned cabinetry, worktops, and open shelving in warm, natural finishes can dramatically shift the ambient temperature of a neutral kitchen. Similarly, stone elements – whether they are marble-inspired quartz or natural stone splashbacks – will help reinforce the connection to outdoors. Patinated metallic finishes in warm copper tones dial into the terracotta trend, without disrupting the serene atmosphere of a soothing neutral scheme.
Embracing earthy neutrals is about more than the colour of the walls or cabinets, it’s about creating a layered, tactile energy that tunes into all the senses. Textures play a pivotal role in this interior design philosophy – think woven textiles, rustic timber and burnished metals. Even with a neutral palette that deliberately lacks strong colour contrasts, you can shake things up a little just by mixing up matte and gloss finishes. This dynamic interplay of textures will add depth and subtle friction that feels sophisticated. Don’t overlook the effects of light and shadow on textural surfaces – they can dramatically enhance depth, highlight movement, and bring your kitchen’s design details to life throughout the day.
While earthy neutrals provide a relaxed foundation, that doesn’t mean brighter colours are banned. Modern neutral palettes tend to be in warmer tones, which makes them so easy to elevate with the strategic use of colour accents. The key is to go for subtle colour pops, nothing that overpowers. Roundhouse designers recommend allowing around 20% of the palette for accent colour if you want to keep the balance firmly neutral. Accessories, such as ceramic vases, patterned cushions, window treatments or art that incorporate colours inspired by nature are all great choices. For more permanent accent colours, try kitchen splashbacks in burnished copper, or a two-tone kitchen with pale perimeter cabinets and an island in deep green or soft sage. Aim for accent colours that tie in beautifully with the overall warm, earthy theme, providing contrast while still harmonising with your core neutral shades.
The importance of lighting cannot be overemphasised when planning an earthy neutral palette. Above all, you need to avoid a chilly atmosphere, so aim for light bulbs with colour rendition in the range of 2700K-3000K, which will provide a warm, white light that complements soft neutrals like stone and greige. Also try to plan in as much natural light as possible to highlight the depth and variety of a neutral palette throughout the day. Large-scale architectural glazing is ideal, while skylights and roof lanterns are also a popular way to flood a neutral kitchen with light.
The new neutrals trend in kitchens is about more than just a switch in colour – it’s a shift towards creating spaces that nurture, comfort, and inspire. For more ideas and inspiration, why not head to one of our showrooms and chat to our design team?
