I’m looking for someone or someplace that can design and build and corner larder unit with pocket for our kitchen - been to a few kitchen places but they only deal with standard sizes so I’m assuming i need something bespoke - like example below??

Avoid Wren. They’re a nightmare. Just consult a local joiner. That falls into their category. It is something the company I work for would do and we specialise in joinery and kitchens.

You'd have to be careful with the corner situations having drawers on both sides because of the opening of them and handles.

From the picture, it looks like to me that larder was made up from a few standard components ...eg the 3 sets of drawers are probably 40cm wide, shallow depth base units, (such as Ikea’s 37cm deep Metod unit), plus a sink unit, and the top is made up of 3 similarly standard wall units without doors. The outer full size cabinet doors look like just standard tall cabinet doors set on sliding door pivot hinges. It’s just the way they have put them together that is “bespoke”, and that’s down to the designer and fitter. Hopefully that helps.

Mary, I am very glad to hear from you. I think of you often. It hurt me terribly when that unthoughtful person said what she said. I can only imagine how it must have hurt you. I would love to see how you have decorated for Christmas. I am almost certain there are differences between how our 2 countries do it. Take care and looking forward to seeing updated posts in the near future.

It looks very good James. Even though as you say it was a clients design build, it works fine. Once the Island has stools it will fill it out better. Has that naked look at the moment. The position of the wine rack might cause issues but overall it looks like a really clean and fresh kitchen. Plenty of natural light and the colours compliment each other. The extractor is a nice feature too. Everyone has different opinions as I see on here but if the client is happy with it then job done. Looks really well fitted too.....well done :)

I agree with 'Kitchens and Baths', you are leaving yourself precious little counterspace to accommodate 2 side-by-side wall ovens? Can't you stack them if you need 2? Also, a warning, I wouldn't be taking anything out of those ovens and "turning to the island" with them...not with a quartz countertop!! You'll have that whole end all scorched...unless you are quick and accurate with lots of trivets! But your "open shelving" is going to look like a pinched-in forgotten corner pantry...you really need more space for them too , if it is going to look right. Right now as it is, 2 feet of them are all but beyond reach (over the lower countertop) and then a mere 2 feet worth of actually OPEN, available space you can reach, then the monster of the floor to ceiling cabinet will be in the way. It will be like reaching around into a closet. I would seriously reconsider this design BEFORE your electrician shows up--and before you order all those (expensive!) cabinets. But as for the island 'crowding' the walkway--it looks as if your drawing says 1.2 meters? That's plenty and more than enough, even for running boisterous kiddos, you're fine there. Best of Luck.

Hi Helen, The fridge position is ideal so I suggest you move the radiator to the other side of the door and turn the door so its opens back against the fridge. This will increase the feeling of space in the whole dining area. You won't regret the length of your breakfast bar so I wouldn't worry about the gap sizes, 1200 is an ideal but 1000 is more than sufficient. Could you turn the door into the utility so that it opens inwards and not into the kitchen area? It would eliminate having to manoeuvre round the door when open and reduce congestion in the kitchen especially with traffic flow past the end of the breakfast bar. Alternatively you could consider a pocket door which slides into the wall if there is enough space. Good luck!

Yes, Wren. They also do lots of different width cupboards from 200 to 1000 (maybe wider)

I've used Salice for bespoke larder pocket door mechanisms, but as Daisy above says how the drawers open is interesting, Blum have/used to have a mechanism for corner drawers that might have been used for that larder. But i think the larder is a completely bespoke unit and probably not cheap. It could be replicated though.
