An interior design fanatic turned cynic has warned people to be wary of expansive kitchen revamps that may end up turning sour.Writing for the Independent, columnist Tim Lott claimed that flashy bespoke interior design schemes may end up being wholly impersonal, if homeowners are not careful.He claimed that an initially impressive bespoke steel and wood kitchen in mock-pistachio soon reminded him of the kitchens he had grown up in and was not ultimately a satisfactory purchase.People moving into unfurnished homes are often tempted to opt for full kitchen installations, but others often opt for more personal DIY solutions, selecting products piece by piece and choosing a colour scheme that is thoroughly their own. Complaining that the bespoke kitchen later started to flake and malfunction, Mr Lott wrote What we were actually paying for was vanity, for a design concept perfect for people who do not have sufficient confidence in their own taste.Taps are often an object that can add character to a kitchen without importing a total solution from outside and the Abode Somerley dual flow monobloc model provides shades of 1930s-inspired design for those seeking a touch of individuality in a functional kitchen.
