The Stevenage Project
“Our journey with Herringbone was a lot of fun - it was so exciting to go through various designs and ideas, and then refine them together with our designer Rob. We knew we wanted a bespoke kitchen as we spend most of our time there, both being enthusiastic cooks.”
The Design
This kitchen has a light and airy feel to it both in terms of the colour scheme and the flow of the space. The Westminster Style cabinets along the main run and the floor to ceiling larder and breakfast bar are painted in Herringbone Paints’ Cathedral Stone and the large kitchen island is painted in Friday Night Green from the same range.
“We both love green and with so much glass in our space, connecting our garden to the indoors, we thought it would be ideal to make everything feel cohesive. From then it was an easy choice as the Herringbone colours are so beautiful and go so well with each other. Our designer Rob suggested the mix of colours, as well as the hardware and we were sold!“
The wooden elements include the exposed wine rack, floating shelves and kitchen island worktop, which give texture and warmth to the kitchen. The open plan kitchen flows nicely into the boot room and utility room as well as into the living room where a bespoke dresser is fitted. The island has a lot of storage with deep peg drawers to help keep the kitchen organised. The Bora hob fits perfectly on the kitchen island, with the sink just behind for a practical design.
“We wanted a space that wouldn't feel crowded if we were both using the space at the same time, and we wanted to maximise our storage so we could give the illusion of organisation among the chaos, by being able to store away all our ingredients and gadgets. We love our oak shelves, we think they are such a nice touch to make the space feel a bit more open rather than having a run of cabinets above the sink.”
The Bespoke Dresser
The bespoke dresser sits just off the kitchen. Painted in Container Green from the Herringbone Paints Range. The wooden design element continues here with exposed oak book shelves and a cabinet with glass doors in between to hide away and show off the family’s glassware.
The Bootility room (Boot Room & Utility)
The bootility room or the combined boot room and utility room follows the same feel, design and colour tone as the kitchen space. Cleverly stored away just off the kitchen is a usable space for the family to not only do laundry but to store away outdoor wear, essentials and dirty footwear.
In addition the dog washing station is also a bespoke element of this room making it easy for the family to clean any mess and avoid it from entering the house.
In order to make their project dreams come to life the client also worked with architechs Stewart and Stewart.
“It's such a great space - we have an open plan room with the kitchen, dining room and family room. It's ideal with our young children as we can be in the kitchen, and keeping an eye on them at the same time.”
We wish the family a lifetime of happiness in their lovely home.
