Need new (small) kitchen. Recommendations?

My kitchen is coming to the end of its life and I want to replace it completely.
It only occupies a small area at the moment (studio flat), 150 x 248 cm, although the 150 could be extended (basically fits into a room corner).
I once had a joiner specially create a kitchen for me (wooden) and I liked the result because it was "mine". On the other hand, I can maybe buy a kitchen, but I am not sure who is the best for me? I am not desperately constrained by price.
I have had a look online with various firms and all I see is grey, beige, bland brown and, at the very best, cream. I like bold primary colours and do not want grey at all (I get quite enough of that by just looking out the window...).

I have recently bought the heritage green from DIY-kitchens. Good quality, but nowhere near a hand built one.2006 LBM £28,000+ in debt.

They're not cheap. They are bespoke. Cheaper than many bespoke kitchens but more than the average kitchen. They're solid ply and look like they'd last forever.jonnydeppiwish! said:

It's a bit hard, because every kitchen is different! We were quoted around £20k, units only.jonnydeppiwish! said:
