Case Study
Designer: Simon Thomas
Customer: Mr & Mrs Dixon
When Roy and Jennifer Dixon’s kitchen was transformed into a spacious, modern living area, their standard of living improved dramatically.
The old room was cramped and difficult to work in - so converting it into a spacious, modern kitchen was an absolute necessity.
The couple wanted a complete change. In addition to not being particularly roomy their traditional-style kitchen felt dark.
But, in a short space of time, the room was transformed into a light, airy and contemporary kitchen with all the latest appliances.

Roy and Jennifer did not know exactly what they wanted from a new kitchen, so Kitchen Design Centre made several design drafts for them to choose from.
The idea was to make the kitchen transformation process painless, fun and inspiring.
Jennifer said: "It was definitely time to change our old, cramped kitchen. The designer, Simon, came up with several ideas which we carefully considered before choosing a design which suited us perfectly."
Designer Simon Thomas said: "The inspirational way we changed the kitchen was to have a work-top island in the middle of the kitchen."
"It makes the room feel noticeably more spacious and really unlocks the true potential of the room."
"We also added a dining area, complete with a television for added space and comfort."
The contemporary kitchen’s new dining area has completely altered Roy and Jennifer’s day-to-day lives.
"The kitchen has changed to such an extent that the room has multiple uses," said Jennifer. "Previously, we had to eat in the dining room. Now, the option of eating in our beautiful new kitchen makes our lives much easier."
"The old kitchen was about half the size it is now. It feels incredibly light and roomy, making it a pleasure to prepare food in there."
With an array of innovative appliances the kitchen boasts three ovens and eco-efficient hobs - as well as all the usual utilities such as a dishwasher and a microwave.
There is also a permanent boiling water tap, a Quooker.
The Dixon family say their kitchen was even more amazing than they imagined it would be.
"We are over the moon," said Jennifer. "The outcome was amazing and it exceeded our expectations."
Jennifer was particularly impressed by the excellent service Kitchen Design Centre offered.
"Kitchen Design Centre was fantastic. Every member of staff put their all into it.
I would definitely recommend them."
Kitchen Design Centre’s showrooms are located in Manchester just off the M60 at junction 22, in Blackburn - positioned on the A666 at Brownhill’s roundabout - and in Colne near the end of the M65.
