Bespoke Solutions for a Beautifully Organised KitchenAt Anna Clare Bespoke, we believe that elegant kitchens should work just as beautifully as they look. That’s why we incorporate smart storage solutions into every design  tailored to the way you cook, live, and entertain.We work with trusted partners like Kesseböhmer, Blum, and Vauth-Sagel, combining premium components with handcrafted cabinetry for seamless functionality. Whether it’s a compact galley kitchen or a large family space, our solutions make every inch work harder, and look better.

Corner storage

Corner Solutions: Elegant Engineering for Difficult Spaces

Corner cupboards are one of the most misused or avoided areas in a kitchen layout. But with modern internal mechanisms, they can become some of the most practical and enjoyable storage areas in your home.

At Anna Clare Bespoke, we specify high-performance corner solutions from Kesseböhmer, offering smooth, soft-close functionality and full visibility of contents. The key lies in clever engineering, corner trays that swing or glide out toward you, making hard-to-reach spaces simple and intuitive.

We typically use two types of mechanism depending on the cabinet layout:

LeMans Corner Units

Named for their elegant, curved movement (like a racing track), LeMans trays bring the entire contents of your corner cupboard into full view in one smooth motion. Each shelf glides out independently, with a soft-close return for quiet, effortless use.

Key Features:

  • Suitable for 900mm to 1200mm corner cabinets

  • Shelf widths between 450mm and 600mm, with height adjustment

  • Each tray supports up to 25kg

  • Available in classic silver or graphite grey with anti-slip bases

  • Ideal for pots, pans, mixing bowls and small appliances

Our preferred options:

Width     Finish        Left-Hand Code    Right-Hand Code

450mm      Chrome         KAS2LM450SCL          KAS2LM450SCR

450mm      Anthracite     KAS2LM450SAL          KAS2LM450SAR

500mm      Chrome         KAS2LM500SCL          KAS2LM500SCR

500mm      Anthracite     KAS2LM500SAL          KAS2LM500SAR

600mm      Chrome         KAS2LM600SCL          KAS2LM600SCR

600mm      Anthracite      KAS2LM600SAL         KAS2LM600SAR

LeMans systems are best for full corner base cabinets and offer the most elegant user experience, one we find clients appreciate day after day.

Magic Corners

 

For blind corner units, where one side of the cabinet runs behind the adjacent one, we recommend the Magic Corner. It uses a two-stage movement: as the door opens, the front shelf glides out and simultaneously pulls the rear shelf into reach.

Advantages:

  • Suitable for 900mm–1000mm blind corners

  • Full access to both front and back sections

  • Soft-close glide with impressive weight capacity

  • Adjustable trays for flexibility over time

​​

Our Prefered options for magic corners:

Finish        Left-Hand Code       Right-Hand Code

Chrome         KASMCUSCL                   KASMCUSCR

Anthracite      KASMCUSAL                   KASMCUSAR

Magic Corners are perfect for pantries, smaller items, and deep lower cabinets, giving new life to an area many people forget.

Why It’s Worth It

Though corner solutions are often seen as an optional upgrade, we believe they’re an essential feature in any luxury kitchen. Clients are often surprised by how much space is gained — and how frequently these corners become the go-to spot for everyday items.

Advantages of Corner Storage:

  • Transforms dead space into high-capacity storage

  • Makes everyday items quick and easy to access

  • Adds a premium engineering detail to the kitchen experience

Considerations:

  • LeMans systems require full corner cabinets (rather than blind corners)

  • Magic Corners need careful door planning to operate correctly

  • Mechanisms take up more internal space than open shelving

Our team will guide you on the right system for your layout, usage, and aesthetic. It’s another example of how bespoke kitchens go far beyond just doors and drawers, they’re crafted for real life, with every detail considered.

Base Cabinet Storage: Beautiful, Built-In Practicality

Base cabinets are at the heart of every working kitchen and with the right storage configuration, they become one of the most functional and personal elements of your design. From spice towers and mixer shelves to custom-crafted wine drawers, we offer a wide selection of options tailored to your lifestyle.

At Anna Clare Bespoke, these features are never an afterthought. We plan your base storage around how you live and cook, considering everything from small-space convenience to specialised storage like safes, sorting trays, and vegetable drawers.

Pull-Out Storage: Compact, Clever, Considered

In modern kitchens, every centimetre counts and pull-out storage is one of the most elegant ways to maximise those narrow gaps and hard-to-reach spaces. At Anna Clare Bespoke, we specify premium pull-out systems from Kesseböhmer, known for their smooth action, robust build quality, and understated, contemporary finishes.

Why Pull-Outs Matter

Benefits:

  • Make use of every available gap

  • Access hard-to-reach spaces without bending or lifting

  • Premium finish to match internal cabinetry

  • Soft-close glide for a luxury feel

Considerations:

  • Internal space is reduced by 40–60mm to allow for the frame

  • Ideal for installation during the design phase to ensure clearance

  • Load limits vary, heavier items best stored in wider pull-outs

Pull-outs are one of the most praised additions by our clients, a small detail that quietly enhances everyday use.

Specialist Base Cabinet Storage

Beyond pull-outs, we offer a curated set of internal base cabinet features, each selected to make everyday life more organised, secure, and beautiful. These options are fully integrated into your cabinetry, often hidden behind soft-close fascias or traditional framed doors.

Wine Storage & Oak Tray Features

Wine is more than a drink, it's often part of how we entertain, relax, or unwind at the end of the day. At Anna Clare Bespoke, we offer a range of beautifully integrated wine storage options, each crafted to fit the tone and rhythm of your kitchen.

From open oak cubbies to dovetailed drawers, every element is designed to feel deliberate — a seamless part of your cabinetry, not an afterthought.

Oak Wine Racks

A bespoke kitchen isn’t just about practicality, it’s about ritual, atmosphere and the joy of sharing. Our handcrafted oak wine racks combine all three, turning your collection into a subtle, built-in feature that brings warmth and texture to any cabinetry run.

Whether you’re displaying your favourite everyday bottles or creating a dedicated wine zone, these racks are designed to suit both contemporary and classic kitchens. Integrated discreetly into base cabinetry or open shelving, they can be framed in matching cabinetry or left exposed to add contrast and tone.

Design features include:

  • Custom sizing to suit available cabinet width (typically 300–600mm)

  • Layout options: horizontal cubbies, angled display racks, or diagonal cross-racks for maximum capacity

  • Crafted in natural oak, walnut, or paint-matched timber for seamless integration

  • Often paired with breakfast cupboards, drinks stations, or under-counter bars

Wine racks like these are about more than storage, they signal hospitality, taste, and the slower pleasures of home life. Whether used as a visual focal point or a quietly integrated detail, they offer a lasting sense of charm and purpose.

These drawers provide a tactile and luxurious way to keep your wine close at hand while maintaining a minimalist exterior finish.

Drawer inserts

What’s inside a drawer matters just as much as how it looks on the outside. Our bespoke drawer inserts are tailored to the way you cook, organise, and live, whether that’s a traditional oak cutlery tray or a sleek modern system for utensils, spices, and cookware.

Each insert is built to elevate the everyday, keeping clutter at bay and making your kitchen feel calm, ordered, and beautifully considered.

Why It Makes a Difference

Drawer inserts might seem like a small detail, but they transform how a kitchen works. By keeping everything in its place, and making sure that place feels tailored to you, we create a kitchen that’s calm, purposeful, and a pleasure to use every day.

Considerations:

  • Oak inserts are typically built-in at the design stage for a tailored fit

  • Blum inserts offer more flexibility and can be added post-installation

  • Both options can be mixed within the same kitchen for classic-modern contrast

Bins & Waste Solutions: Discreet. Practical. Essential.
