Light and Bright Shaker Kitchen
We have another completed kitchen to show you, this one has a couple of extra features including a utility room and a video.
The client came to us knowing she wanted a light unit and worktop, and a painted shaker door. She also wanted usable storage, and integrated appliances and bin. The space is long and against one wall, so it was important for her to make the kitchen look less busy. She did not want a modern gloss kitchen, but did want something that was easy to clean.
The client wanted the space to look symmetrical. We were able to do this using bespoke door sizes and integrated appliances.
The client has told us she loves her new kitchen, especially her worktops. We are very pleased and proud of the finished kitchen and hope her family enjoys it for years to come.
Small But Perfectly Formed Kitchen
We have another recently completed Herringbone Kitchen to show. This one really highlights how much of a difference you can make in a small space with clever design.
The owners felt that although the kitchen was small, the previous layout was not utilising the space to its full potential. They wanted the kitchen to maximise storage and worktop space and hide a floor standing boiler. The other challenge was a slope ceiling, meaning the kitchen wouldn't be high enough on one side for many standard wall units.
In terms of design, she knew she wanted a terracotta floor and a framed kitchen. She had always wanted a terracotta floor and this was her first chance to have one. We agree that this floor looks great in this kitchen!
To create this kitchen, we first put in reclaimed terracotta floor from Ca' Pietra. Next we made the cabinets to accommodate the sloped ceiling as well as the boiler. The clients decided to use the colour French Grey, it is a nice subtle colour that makes the smaller space feel more open. We used a Perin and Rowe specially finished tap, in English Bronze to match the bronze handles and Silestone worktops in Amazon Grey. All appliances were integrated to create a clean finished look, less busy on the eye.
We are especially proud of this kitchen and know the owners will enjoy it for years to come.

Recently Completed Charcoal Shaker Kitchen
We have decided to do a new series to highlight our recently completed kitchens. Below is the first in the series, please let us know your thoughts and what you would like to see included in these posts.
When the lovely and energetic couple Eddie and Lorna came to visit Herringbone Kitchens they had loads of ideas on the type of kitchen they wanted for their first home together. Lorna knew she wanted a shaker style painted kitchen, while Eddie has always wanted an American fridge freezer. Will showed them the many different ranges of shaker kitchens on display in the studio and talked through some design options. They both fell in love with the dark charcoal dresser on display in the showroom so to help them decide if the charcoal would be the right colour for them, Will gave them samples for the worktop and cabinets to look at in the light of their kitchen.
