The Oxted Project: Kitchen, Larder, Drinks Unit, Hidden Desk & TV Snug Unit
“We knew very early on that we wanted quite a traditional looking kitchen as felt this is what the house needed. I had followed Herringbone on Instagram for a while. I really liked the fact that this was a small, family run business who took on a limited number of projects a year and absolutely loved the look of their kitchens.”
The Design
We recently completed this gorgeous large open plan project for a lovely family near Oxted. The large space includes tall bespoke floor to ceiling units on the L-shaped run hiding away the larders and even a hidden desk! It also has a run of lower cabinets where the main sink is fitted.
The large island has seating to fit the whole family, a sink, large Bora hub and plenty of bespoke storage. The dark island is a wonderful contrast colour to the rest of the kitchen and brings it all together. The kitchen is designed in our Westminster style and bespokely fitted to perfectly fit into this large open plan space.

The Details: Colours, Hardware, Worktops Etc
“We wanted a really multifunctional space - a really social space where we could all be together as a family and where we could entertain. It is definitely the hub of the house. The only downside is forgetting to use the rest of the house! “
This kitchen makes use of every single wall, the design is sleek and smooth, whilst serving as the perfect place to entertain but also to enjoy the every day. The stone worktop runs throughout the kitchen, making everything flow nicely.
“We wanted to make the most of the high ceilings so knew that we would need bespoke cupboards that could be designed to go all the way up to the ceiling and just felt that the only way to get exactly what we wanted was to go down the bespoke route. We wanted to use dark colours in the kitchen as we knew it was going to be such a large, light room. We saw an almost black kitchen on the Herringbone website and knew that was the colour for us.”
The lovely dark island is painetd in Tudor Black from the Herringbone Paints range whilst the main cabinets are painted in Joiners Box Grey from the same range. The brushed brass handles, hinges and shelf brackets look stunning against the cabinets and colour. The ladder for the tall main units allows the client to get into the storage at the top and make full use of their high ceilings.
The Larder
The large larder and breakfast bar is as elegant and stylish as it is functional. The spice racks are a wonderful surprise when you open the cabinet doors and the drawers and shelves inside create great organised storage. The cold shelf is the same stone as the rest of the worktops and makes it easy to wipe down after use.
The Drinks Unit
This beautiful drinks unit is designed to fit into the space maximising its use and making it a real “wow-stop-and-stare” piece of furniture. It’s painted in the same Tudor Black as the kitchen island, connecting the two together.
The Hidden Desk
We love creating bespoke features and this hidden desk is no exception! The pocket doors make it easy for the client to work here and not have any doors be in the way.
“To be honest choosing a ‘favourite part’ is really hard. I love the hidden desk – I can work on the computer and get some paperwork done and then when I don’t want to think about it anymore or we have friends coming over I can just close the doors and it’s all hidden away.”
The TV Snug Unit
Sit down and relax. We love this TV unit we created for the family to fit their TV. It also provides additional open display storage for their open living space as well as drawers to hide anything else away. The whole space feels and looks beautiful and we wish the client a lifetime of fun and happiness in their beautiful home.

On Working with Herringbone
“We wanted something bespoke as we had quite a few ideas that we wanted to incorporate - everything we asked for was delivered and was always met with "of course, not a problem". After our zoom discussions with David he came up with a design which we loved. One really fun aspect of working with Herringbone was going to visit the workshop where we watched our kitchen being made. We are just so glad we made the time to make that visit.”
