The Bury St. Edmunds Project
“We have our dream home and our dream kitchen, it gets lots of compliments and we are all really pleased that we picked Herringbone to be on this journey with us. David has been brilliant over the last 2-3 years, and he has been brilliant about the long journey we have been on with this project.”
The Design
This large open plan kitchen extension is a wonderful generous size that needed to “wow” as soon as you walked into the space. We think you’ll agree that it does just that. Not only does it fit the unique space like a glove but it also connects the living space with the kitchen perfectly.
The bespoke design features a long run of lower and upper cabinets on the main kitchen run with a large kitchen island that hosts not only the wine fridge but also a great amount of storage. On the back wall sits the oven and fridge freezer with cabinets build around them to offer even more bespoke storage.
The main run and back wall cabinets are painted in a lovely off white similar to our Cathedral Stone from Herringbone’s own range of paints. The island is painted in a glorious bright pink colour, which adds a ton of personality and goes so well with the flamingos in the house.
The kitchen is our classic Westminster shaker style which marries the classic with the modern. This space has great light which means that the colours chosen help create a different mood and atmosphere whenever the day/season change.
“We had to meet a long time before the kitchen needed to be fitted and I was determined I wanted to build an extension that would fit the kitchen rather than the other way around, so we needed the kitchen plans so the extension could be built around it. Herringbone was so flexible at moving the installation date 2-3 times, but it all worked out. We had Mark who fitted it and he was absolutely brilliant; he was a joy to have around and helped us understand everything that was going on”
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 the Quartz worktop flowing throughout the kitchen to the seamless sink with a lovely view. We love how anywhere you go in this kitchen you are met with a lovely surprise whilst maintaining a lovely seamless flow.
The large island is a particular great design feature as it looks neat from the living room side but offers functional storage for the family and a lovely social space for everyday living. We love how the tiled back splash over the Range Cooker AGA is perfectly tiled around the round window.
The hidden storage is lovely in this kitchen, from the wine fridge in the island to the practical utility cabinet next to the stove, this kitchen packs it away in style. The Quooker tap on the island serves as an elegant reminder of how this kitchen was designed to be lived in and used throughout the day.
The hinges and handles are burnished brass throughout and works really well with the light worktop and colours throughout.
“It’s so hard to name my favourite bit of the kitchen but I love the sink and the taps, the two drawers david designed to go underneath the sink is a lovely touch also. I am thrilled with my baking tray filing area above the oven, that’s a great bespoke feature. Lastly the electronics drawers has made all the difference to us too. “

On Working With Herringbone
“We started in lockdown and spoke to David, he was amazing and completely understood what I was looking for and how I could achieve the dream I had in my mind. He was open to my ideas but came to the table with a lot of ideas himself, which was fantastic. ”
