The Dulwich Village Project
“We really had our eyes set on a Herringbone kitchen from years of Instagram scrolling of home decor inspiration. We did do quite a bit of research, looking into other bespoke kitchen companies but we knew we were always set on the style and quality of Herringbone. The team made it really simple, taking our requests and making sure they all matched in order for us to chose the correct configurations for our needs.”
The Design
This bright open plan kitchen is our Westminster Style. The main kitchen run features a lower run of cabinets with reeded glass units directly above them. To the side of these sit floor to ceiling cabinets hosting the double oven and a large pantry larder. The kitchen island is full of bespoke storage and also offers seating for the family. The kitchen cabinets are painted in a light pastel pink colour similar to Herringbone Paints’ Parade Pink whilst the island is painted in a darker red/pink colour similar to our Drum Belt Red tone.
The family also worked with local architect Simon Whitehead to bring their house project to life and they brought Herringbone on board from the very beginning.
The client opted for a Bora hob on the kitchen island and a double sink directly behind it on the main run of lower cabinets. The worktop, which runs throughout the kitchen is a lightly veined low-silica Quartz worktop which helps reflect the light around the room. The burnished brass handles go perfectly with the same material hinges. A large wine fridge is incorporated into the kitchen island and is within perfect reach of the seating area.
“One area we were unsure of was the colour. Herringbone really helped us pick it out and we love it as it goes so well with the theme and design of the whole house. There are too many favourite elements to pick from but we love the flow of the kitchen, the size and we just love the larder. ”
The Pantry Larder
The large pantry larder is a favourite for the family. It offers a wealth of storage and has shelves at different heights, spice racks, deep drawers and a cold shelf with sockets perfect for the family’s white goods. The functionality of the kitchen makes the larder the centre of the kitchen with a smooth flow that makes the space practical and stylish at the same time.
The Utility
The utility room follows the same design and colour as the kitchen cabinets. Designed in our Westminster Style and painted in a colour similar to the Herringbone Paints Parade Pink. Fitted across from each other the sink and washer/dryer offer a smooth and functional flow for doing house work.
“We started working with the Herringbone team early on in our renovation project. The Herringbone team was really supportive and accommodating working around our scheduling needs. We had been following Herringbone for a number of years, way before we had even bought our current property. When we first set eyes on the house, which at the time had been pretty much untouched from the 1960's, it needed a Herringbone kitchen.”
We wish the client a lifetime of happiness in their beautiful home.
