The Stodmarsh Project
“Lucy helping out massively every time I requested a colour change for island units, wall units and then our own walls, she was so helpful. This enabled us to see the finished result first as we initially were having the walls dark but ended up going light!”
The Design
This light open plan kitchen offers a lovely bright space that’s both stylish and functional. The main run offers a long lower run of cabinets in a lovely pale blue (Canteen Blue from The Herringbone Paints Range) whilst the large island offer the perfect contrast with a darker blue (Tea Time Green from The Herringbone Paints Range) to match.
The kitchen is our classic Westminster Style and works well with the family’s needs. The island offers a lot of storage and the drawers offer a lovely feature, which makes the area and island seem bigger on the inside, as storage is more accessible.
“I was keen to have floor to ceiling units without the dust trap you often get on top of cupboards and this simple request is actually quite difficult to achieve with a run of the mill kitchen so for me I knew I’d need to have a bespoke design. I’m a great believer in everything having a functional place and utilising all areas to maximum potential!”
The Details: Colours, Hardware, Worktops Etc
The space has great light which means that the blue colours of the kitchen cabinets reflects it into the white worktop surfaces and the brushed chrome hinges and brass hardware.
The Quartz worktop looks beautiful against the cabinet colours and the wooden doors, bookcase and bench seating areas bring the space together nicely. The tall cabinets holding the double ovens end the lower cabinet run and offers practical functionality.
We love how everything has a space in this kitchen. The long run on the other side of the main kitchen offers a stunning set of floor to ceiling cabinets that each offer everything from a pantry larder, baking station, fridge freezer and coffee station.
“I love my cupboards set back for my cake baking area, coffee station etc. and of course my wine rack! The bespoke seat for the grandkids to kneel on when baking is fab and the added storage for garden shoes and creative art essentials is a definite plus. We wanted a palette that we could bring in from the garden as we’ve bi-folds full width and mixing the blue and green worked really well.”

The Bench Seating Areas
It was important for the client to be able to enjoy the view of their beautiful garden and so this space has two bespoke bench seating areas, the first being the perfect addition to the end of the large kitchen island. The tongue and groove design adds texture and character to the space creating a real wow factor and feature, naturally also offering lots of storage.
The second one is a lovely picnic style bench in oak wood perfect for gatherings but also great for everyday living. It goes really well with the existing bookshelves in the background and brings the space together in a lovely way.
On Working With Herringbone
“Choosing a new kitchen can be quite challenging and I personally found myself dismissing all the things I didn’t want and found it harder to focus on the things I did! Herringbone were able to listen and together we were able to compile a list of the must have’s and work forward from there.”
We wish the client a lifetime of happiness in their beautiful home!
