The Witham Kitchen & Secret Utility
“Where do we start, we just adore our new kitchen. We knew straight away what we wanted, we had followed Herringbone for a few years and although we looked at other kitchen companies first, nothing compared.”
The Design
We recently completed this gorgeous kitchen for a family near Witham in Essex. The design features a long run of low cabinetry in an L-shape to maximise space for work space and allows for a seating area at the rear of the kitchen. Complimenting the space perfectly is a shorter run of cabinetry hosting the hob, extractor fan, upper storage cabinetry and ovens on the opposite side.
“Our vision for our kitchen was to make it more open and sociable and for it to function really well as we both spend a lot of time cooking and entertaining. We love everything in the new kitchen.”
The cabinetry is our popular Westminster Range, a traditional shaker style cabinetry with a hint of modernity in a gorgeous blue colour.
The Details: Colours, Hardware, Worktops Etc
This dark blue colour changes as the light moves through the room, making it a space to enjoy throughout the day and evening. The gold handles add elegance and style to the cabinetry and compliments the herringbone pattern flooring perfectly.
“Some of our favourite elements of the kitchen details would be the Quartz worktops and splashbacks as well as the bespoke Quooker tap (which we couldn’t live without) . I love how easy it is to clean the Quartz as we can make as much mess as we like cooking and it is so easy to clean up after.”
The fitted wine fridge fits perfectly into the seating area of the worktop and makes the space even more social. The bespoke book storage adds a lovely pop of colour and gives the kitchen the perfect finish by adding in the client’s personality.
The Secret Breakfast Bar and Pantry
At the end of the worktop sits floor to ceiling bespoke units, hidding away a secret utility, breakfast bar and larder. The intergrated fridge fits tightly and a perfect small storage cupboard sits above it.
The breakfast bar and larder features natural elements of oak shelving at different heights to store all essentials. The cold shelf in the bar is perfect for hiding away all the utilities whilst plugs have been fitted to enable the use of white goods. The drawers offer up the perfect storage for pasta, cereals, condiments etc. whilst the light colour adds a touch a warmth to the darker tone of the cabinetry.
The utility space is another hidden gem. Utilising the space to the max was essential to the client and the Herringbone designers allowed for it all to be fitted in, which this utility is proof of. A mixture of long and narrow oak shelves sit inside tall units and the washing machine and tumble dryer are stacked to maximise storage space as well as allowing shelving for the family’s dog food and cleaning products.
On Using Herringbone
“We would never hesitate about who would do our next kitchen we would always want a Herringbone kitchen. The quality is incredible and we love that it is bespoke and made for us.”
