Holland Park Bespoke Kitchen

The Design

We recently completed this stunning kitchen near Holland Park and the whole Herringbone Team is incredibly proud of what we created! Our lovely client wanted bespoke cabinetry in our Westminster range, traditional Shaker style cabinetry with a hint of modernity, it is a simple take on the traditional shaker door, without the decorative cockbeading that the Rye range has.

This design features two long cabinetry runs on either wall running parallel to each other, with a large kitchen island in the middle with seating and the kitchen sink on top, making it a total social hub.

We asked our client what their vision was for their new kitchen, they said:

“We were doing a complete renovation of our home and wanted a kitchen that was classic with some contemporary touches. Herringbone really fits the brief on this one with the various options of cabinetry colour, handles and design - we loved looking for inspiration from their past projects whilst also talking to our designer, William, on what would work with our space.

We knew we wanted lots of storage and an island, but as a basement kitchen, we were nervous about the low ceiling and everything feeling very dark and cramped. In our design appointment, William showed us various ways in which we could overcome this with different colours and glass cabinets and in fact, everyone always comments on how bright the room feels!”

The Details: Colours, Hardware & More

For the main cabinetry, the client chose to go with ‘Grosvenor Square’ by Mylands a neutral, off white colour maintaining there bright and airy feel of the space, and a gorgeous light blue colour from the Mylands 900 colour range.

“We ended up going to the studio twice to look at colours and handles, with completely different outcomes. William and Coco were really patient with our indecisiveness, and really helped us be bold (for us!) with colour - we love the dark island and now strongly recommend our friends to consider more colour!”

Our clients chose a stunning Dekton for their worktops as well as extending it up the wall behind their induction hob, sandwiching it between the bottom and top units creating a striking and opulent look. Dekton is an extremely practical worktop option as it is a non porous material and highly resistant to scratches, stains, abrasion, heat as well as ice and thawing. It comes in many different colours mimicking beautiful marbles & granites.

The Reeded Glass Cabinetry Run

When we asked our clients about the design process and decision to include a floor to ceiling run of reeded glass cabinetry, they said:

“We knew we wanted lots of storage, but were also nervous about the kitchen feeling too cluttered and dark with the low ceiling - William presented us with lots of different glass options to keep things light and we love the reeded glass cabinetry we have as a result... there's almost too much storage!”

Making Your Dream Kitchen In The Workshop

We make all of your cabinetry in our workshop just outside Canterbury ourselves, completely tailor made to what your lifestyle and your space needs. You can come visit our workshop and see your cabinetry being made, just email your designer and ask about a workshop visit or give us a call.

We asked our clients why they wanted a bespoke kitchen, here’s what they said:

“We had looked at a few non-bespoke options, but couldn't quite find something that really suited or made the most of our space. We found Herringbone through Instagram, but were initially nervous that they would make kitchens more for their visual impact rather than functional living. However, we needn't have worried as everything from the initial design appointment to fitting and snagging felt really personal and welcoming, and truly focussed on what we needed out of our kitchen. The result is a kitchen that we think is both beautiful and functional!”

On Using Herringbone

“The whole process was exactly what you would expect from a small business - personal with real attention to detail. We would particularly like to call out the guys in the workshop and fitters - the cabinets really are beautifully made and there doesn't seem to be a limit to what they can make in the workshop, or fix in snagging!”
