Their architect recommended Kitchen Design Centre and Jo made appointments with two other kitchen companies, but she was so impressed with designer Lucy Bannister at Kitchen Design Centre’s Barrowford showroom that she cancelled the other appointments. She felt Lucy’s approach was perfect, being both professional and friendly, with no sales pressure.
Jo’s brief was completely opposite to her current kitchen which was traditional in style with a range cooker. Lucy interpreted it perfectly and Jo worked closely with Lucy to finalise the design with only minor tweaks required. Despite having to work from plans and not seeing the room, Jo felt Lucy completely understood the look and feel they were after.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
A sleek, modern look was achieved together with a ‘country’ feel thanks to Lucy’s choice of warm colours and a mixture of textures throughout. Cristall Carbon Metallic was chosen for the central Tall and Midi units and Laser soft Cashmere for the larder, base and wall units. A Misty Willow Quartz worktop and a Grain Cut Natural Oak wood breakfast bar, frame and open framed shelves further softened the look to create a warm, homely feel.
To replace the range cooker Jo had, Lucy included a range of eye level Neff ovens and complemented these with a suite of Neff appliances: Integrated Dishwasher, Tall Fridge, Tall, No Frost Freezer and Flex Induction Venting hob. A Caple Wine Cooler and Ice Trough, Blanco sink and Quooker twin taps were also chosen.
Finished Kitchen
Jo loved that Lucy designed a separate drinks area and open areas of the kitchen with shelving where items could be displayed and on show, rather than hidden behind doors. The whole family love the kitchen and they wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lucy and Kitchen Design Centre.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
"Everyone who’s seen the kitchen absolutely loves it. We designed our previous kitchen ourselves and made mistakes. Having it expertly designed has made such a difference. It not only looks fantastic but is so well thought out. Cooking in it is a joy; it’s so functional. Lucy has helped us create the ideal space which works for both every day and for socialising with family and friends."
"This was a dream project to work on, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Jo and Graham who were so open to me leading the design. The space was incredible and my design makes the most of it. The end result is a kitchen that has the ‘wow’ factor whilst also being warm, welcoming and homely."

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
