Custom Kitchens
A kitchen designed around your space, the way you cook and the everyday needs of your household. From the first design to the precise production of individual components.
The kitchen is among the most heavily used parts of a home. It is therefore not enough for it to look good. It must offer a suitable worktop, sufficient storage space and a logical arrangement of its individual parts.
This is where a custom kitchen has its greatest advantage. Instead of adapting the room to standard dimensions, kitchen furniture can be designed according to the specific layout, the available space and the customer’s needs.
At Vanprodukt we make kitchens and other custom furniture at our own production site in Pavlov near Pelhřimov. Among our published projects you will find both custom kitchens and a solid wood kitchen.
Our experience in manufacturing is also demonstrated by our custom furniture projects, which include custom kitchens as well as a solid wood kitchen. You can see the specific results of our work for yourself.
A Kitchen Designed for a Specific Space
Every kitchen has different possibilities.
In a smaller apartment, the priority is often to make the most of the storage space. In a larger room, on the other hand, it may be important to connect the kitchen with the dining or living area. A straight kitchen run calls for a different solution than an L-shaped or U-shaped layout or a space with an island.
Custom manufacturing makes it possible to adapt the cabinet dimensions to the real space and also to handle situations where standard modular dimensions do not fit.
The result should be a kitchen in which the individual parts make sense not only in the visualization but above all in everyday use.
What Matters When Designing a Custom Kitchen
A well-functioning kitchen comes from combining several things: the layout, ergonomics, sufficient storage space, worktop area and a suitable choice of materials.
When planning, it is therefore advisable to consider, for example, how the food preparation, cooking and washing areas connect, where the appliances are placed, access to frequently used items, and how much space you need for food, dishes and kitchen equipment.
The space around open doors and drawers is also important, as is how the kitchen connects to the doors, windows and other fittings of the room.
In a small kitchen, centimeters can decide whether the finished layout will be practical.
A Custom Kitchen Run: A Practical Layout
When designing a custom kitchen run, it is important to think not only about the placement of the cabinets but also about everyday cooking activities. The areas for storing food, washing, preparing and cooking should follow each other logically. A good layout helps reduce unnecessary walking back and forth and makes everyday use of the kitchen easier.
Also important are a worktop height that suits the users, enough room to open drawers and appliances, access to storage spaces, and coordination with water, electrical and ventilation connections. It is advisable to think these requirements through before the design is finalized, especially for new builds and renovations.
Custom Kitchens for Apartments and Family Houses Alike
Custom manufacturing is not intended only for large or luxury kitchens.
It is especially valuable in smaller apartments, panel-block apartments or otherwise constrained layouts, because it makes it possible to make better use of the available height and width of the room.
Equally, a kitchen can be designed for a family house, a new build or a renovation, where the solution can be adapted to the overall character of the interior.
If other furniture for the room or adjoining spaces is made at the same time, the individual elements can be unified in both material and appearance.
Kitchen Materials and Finishes
The choice of material affects the look, the way it is maintained, the structural possibilities and the final price.
In Vanprodukt’s production we work with panel materials, solid wood and other elements according to the specific project. We have our own technologies for precise machining, sanding, edge banding and lacquering.
This means the materials and surface finish can be chosen according to the specific design and the desired look of the kitchen.
Among our references you will find both modern custom kitchens and solid wood kitchen projects.
Our experience in manufacturing is also demonstrated by our custom furniture projects, which include custom kitchens as well as a solid wood kitchen. You can see the specific results of our work for yourself.
Precise Preparation Before Production
A kitchen brings together many details in a relatively small space. Precise technical preparation is therefore essential.
Digital preparation is important above all for the precision and fit of the individual components. For designs and technical documents we use the IMOS and AlphaCAM systems, which help prepare data for subsequent production operations. Details can be found on the page Digital Furniture Production Preparation. You can also take a look at our production technologies.
How the Production of a Custom Kitchen Works
The specific procedure depends on the scope of the order. The basis, however, is always the space and the customer’s requirements.
Once the brief and dimensions are clarified, the layout and material solution is prepared, followed by the technical data for production. After approval, production of the individual components and their finishing can begin.
Depending on the nature of the order, transport and installation can also be part of the project.
If you already have your own design or documents from a designer or architect, the production options can also be assessed on the basis of the supplied documentation.
How Much Does a Custom Kitchen Cost?
The price of a custom kitchen cannot be determined from its length alone.
It is affected by the size and shape of the layout, the number of individual cabinets, drawers and other elements, the chosen material and surface, the construction and hardware, and the overall complexity of the project.
A simple kitchen run for a small apartment and an extensive kitchen for an open-plan living space can be significantly different orders.
It is therefore better to prepare a price quote based on the specific brief than to state a universal price per meter.
Why a Kitchen from a Custom Furniture Manufacturer
A kitchen is often not an isolated element. It connects to the dining table, built-in wardrobes, storage units or furniture in the living area.
The advantage of a manufacturer with a broader range of custom furniture is the ability to coordinate the connections between the individual parts of the interior. The kitchen can, for example, be matched in material to a storage unit in the living space or to custom built-in wardrobes.
Vanprodukt has been making furniture since 1992 and combines its own production facility with digital preparation and modern technologies. In addition to kitchens, we also make built-in wardrobes, other storage and non-standard furniture, and more extensive interior fittings.
