The Chipstead Kitchen & Larder
“We knew we wanted something bespoke, we had heard of Herringbone from our interior designer and was recommended to go visit them. We made the journey to Canterbury which made a big difference meeting the designer in person. We looked at several other companies but we were attracted to the combination of engineering and the artfulness of Rob, he had an eye for both.”
The Design
This kitchen makes use of every single space available and we love it. The bespoke design and cabinets are fitted perfectly into the space just off the main living room and sit to the side of the dining room. It is designed to be a social, yet contained space that ties all the living areas together in a lovely way.
The design features an L-shaped run of lower cabinets, making the peninsula work as a lovely seating area. Extra work space and storage has been fitted upposite the hob and floor to ceiling cabinets incase the fridge and freezer.
“We opened up the kitchen space to make it more connected to the other rooms, we wanted to create an island space that worked as a prep space, a space for casual seating whilst being a connection point to the other rooms. Our Victorian listed house deserved a bespoke kitchen and it deserved elegance. The balance between modern and still attaining the Victorian charecter of the house were important for us and this kitchen certainly has all of that as well as modern convinience.”
The kitchen is designed in our Westminster Range and is painted in a lovely dark blue, which makes the kitchen stand out and yet hides it away at the same time.
The Details: Colours, Hardware, Worktops Etc
This kitchen has extraodinary attention to detail, and is packed full of storage both visual to the eye and hidden out of sight. From Quartz worktop flowing throughout the kitchen to the Range Cooker neatly sitting inbetween cabinets we love how this kitchen flows so smoothly in so many ways. The glassware cupboard door is neatly tucked in over the built-in microwave and the open hatch to the dining room by the sink is a lovely detail.
“The space flows so well. The fact that the back wall is fully used for storage is grand. The corner cabinets we were partcular about, they needed to be super practical, Herringbone did a great job at these. Everything has a space. Rob was a great help here and it all came togerher nicely. The side pull out is used every day.”
We love how everywhere you look you find a small beautiful surprise. The hidden storage is lovely in this kitchen and the Quooker tap serves as an elegant reminder of how this kitchen was designed to be lived in and used throughout the day. The seamless sink works really well and the grey vein of the worktop is a lovely artistic detail we cannot take our eyes off.
“The idea of the cut out cubbyhole convinced us that Rob really got it from an engineering point of view, we didn’t want to miss the connection between the rooms as this was the origional doorway. It has also allowed space for a wine cooler, which adds to the visual design.”
The Larder
The larder is as elegant and stylish as it is functional. It fits perfectly in this kitchen and makes it easy to get to and store all essentials.
The pull-out shelf in the breakfast bar area makes it easy to toast bread and work around the kitchen at the same time. It is fitted with plugs to allow for easy use of white goods etc. at all times.
On Using Herringbone
“We knew we wanted something bespoke, we had heard of Herringbone from our interior designer and was recommend to go visit them. We made the journey to Canterbury which made a big difference meeting the designer in person. We looked at several other companies but we were attracted to the combination of engineering and the artfulness of Rob, he had an eye for both.“
We wish the client a lifetime of fun and happiness in their beautiful home.
