When asked if there were certain things they knew they wanted from the get go , they said :
“ There wasn ' t one particular thing ( though I ' m sure a larder , wine fridge and island were front of mind !), but rather a kitchen that felt natural in our home , that felt unique to us , and that had that something special that really made it OURS - which became the yellow display cabinet , or ' yellow dresser of dreams ' - or , ' David ' s dresser '.”

THE YELLOW DRESSER
Probably the most striking and eye grabbing part of the kitchen ( and designer David ’ s pride and joy ) is the dresser display unit . Painted in a beautiful mustard yellow , this unit features two shallow drawers with cupboards below as well as two double glass fronted cabinet doors and a mirrored back . This use of glass and mirror is not only a beautiful way to display the clients glassware but also reflects the natural light of the large window directly opposite and brings the outside in with the beautiful natural green reflections of their garden .
When asked what it was that made them decide on a bespoke kitchen , they said :
“ Firstly - we absolutely love it ! We wanted our kitchen to be functional of course , but also for it to be a beautiful space - hence loving David ' s idea of the open marble shelves , which allow us to display cookbooks , plants , photos and things we love . We had an old dresser in our previous flat , which we mentioned to David in our first meeting , and how we wanted something that bridged stunning design , practicality ( look at all that display and storage space !), and felt truly ' ours ' - the yellow dresser grew from there . The three of us got very excited about it , and we loved seeing all David ' s ideas come to life . All the details are perfect : the antique glass ( which reflects so much sunlight and the view of the garden ), that it is full height to our ceiling so stands out against the rest of the kitchen units , the use of the Sparkbrook knobs rather than pull handles which are throughout the rest of the space , the stunning cabinetry with the glass doors and sides , and of course that colour pop . It ' s the kind of one off piece that only a truly bespoke kitchen company can dream up and make .”
“ Having come across Herringbone Kitchens a good few years ago , we knew that when we had a home that we planned to be in for many years to come , that we ' d want a kitchen that was truly ours . Our home was a big renovation project , where a LOT of work was needed - a bespoke kitchen meant that we got to choose ( with David ' s direction and expertise ) all the elements to make it really work for us , as well as really reflect our style and personality . We love hosting , so we wanted a space that not only worked for us , but somewhere where family and friends could feel at home , socialise and eat together ( we hosted Christmas day only 24 hours after we moved back in !). We looked at a few other places but just kept coming back to Herringbone . We are so happy we did .”
