An Exclusive Q&A with Rêver Kitchens – Top Real Stories Award Winner

Winning the Top Real Stories Award is a testament to Rêver Kitchens’ commitment to exceptional design, craftsmanship and customer experience. Their award-winning project, featuring STORI’s Belgravia in Porcelain, impressed the judges with its highly bespoke detailing, timeless aesthetic and thoughtful approach to meeting the client’s brief.

We caught up with the Rêver Kitchens team to learn more about the inspiration behind the project, why STORI was the perfect choice, and what receiving the award means to the business.

What inspired you to enter the Real Stories Competition?

STORI is a brand that aligns perfectly with our company ethos and vision. Their professionalism, incredible product offering, and fair pricing make them an ideal partner for us. We’re proud to work with a brand that shares our commitment to quality and delivering an exceptional customer experience, so entering the competition felt like a natural opportunity to showcase what can be achieved together.

Can you tell us about the vision behind this project?

The client wanted one thing above all else – WOW. They were looking for something completely bespoke, unique and unlike anything else, with a design that reflected their personality and lifestyle.

The versatility of the STORI Belgravia range, combined with the creativity and expertise of our design team, gave us everything we needed to bring that vision to life. We genuinely feel we delivered exactly what they were looking for.

What drew you to Belgravia from the STORI collection?

Belgravia is the most traditional range within the STORI collection, offering a true inframe construction that creates an authentic, timeless feel. It also provides the greatest opportunity for bespoke detailing and customisation, making it the ideal choice for a highly personalised kitchen with a premium finish.

How did you approach designing this kitchen to meet the homeowner’s needs?

We listened. Then we listened some more.

Understanding exactly what the client wanted was at the heart of the entire design process. No design revision was ever considered too much, and every area of the kitchen was reviewed, refined, and revisited until we found the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.

How did you incorporate the unique features of the STORI collection into this design?

The bespoke options available within the STORI collection allowed us to take the design from something beautiful to something truly memorable. Features such as the curved cornice and other tailored details added character, individuality and craftsmanship, helping to create a kitchen that feels completely unique.

What part of this project are you most proud of?

The floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and the use of traditional butt hinges are probably our favourite elements. Together, they create a real sense of quality and authenticity while reinforcing the timeless look and feel we wanted to achieve.

What do you think sets the STORI collection apart from other kitchen ranges?

The outstanding service is a huge differentiator. From the first interaction through to project completion, the support across the entire organisation is exceptional.

When you combine that with the depth, flexibility and extensive product offering within the STORI collection, it gives designers the freedom to create truly bespoke spaces without compromising on quality or support.
