A contemporary Black Kitchen with Wood Accents for a Cheshire Home

When John and Katie embarked on an ambitious two-year renovation of their Cheshire home they turned to Kitchen Design Centre for the kitchen after their friends recommended them.

Says Katie, “we loved their kitchen and although our finished kitchen is totally different to theirs, Kitchen Design Centre came highly recommended by them and I was impressed with the style and design features of their kitchen.”

Katie and John visited Grace at Kitchen Design Centre’s Urmston showroom with their architect’s plans. Initially Katie wanted a green kitchen but soon changed her mind when Grace suggested they visit kitchen Design Centre’s showroom at Housing Units in Failsworth for further inspiration.

They loved a black kitchen and chose Matt Black units. Katie was concerned that it may look too dark so Grace suggested introducing some light wood in the form of Bali Summer Oak in to the design to make it lighter. The final design went with a shaker feel with contemporary handles and Grace included a large island and created a separate bar area.

Katie had had Neff appliances before and they were top of her list for her new kitchen. She chose: The Slide and Hide Oven, Steam Oven, Flex Induction Hob, built in fridge and freezer and Wine Cabinet. To accompany these she also chose a Blanco sink and Quooker Pro 3 Fusion in Black.

Design features such as the wooden shelves in the island and on the back wall units really make the design and Katie loves her bespoke breakfast pantry cupboard that Grace included which is great for storage but also hides a nib on the wall. The Corian worktops contrast perfectly with the black and wood throughout the room too.

Kitchen Design Centre also designed and installed a matching utility room which complements the kitchen perfectly.

Building work on their home was so extensive that they had to move out for a few months. Katie and John were delighted with the fitters who did an exceptional job, working alongside their builders. The kitchen was finished on Christmas Eve so the first time they used it was Christmas Day which was perfect, allowing then to enjoy time as a family after such a long renovation.

"We’re so happy with our Kitchen Design Centre kitchen. We needed someone to project manage from start to finish and Grace did this perfectly, working with us to create the perfect design and also managing the installation and fitters perfectly. We love the new space. It really has the wow factor."

What Our Designer Says

"It was great to work with Katie and Jon on this project. Getting involved early on when the customer has architect’s plans is always good as it means we can take the time to perfect the design. Together we created the perfect space which looks incredible but is also incredibly functional and works perfectly for their day-to-day family life."

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER

As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.

With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
