Julie wanted to change the traditional kitchen in her property and visited more than 20 kitchen companies before finding Kitchen Design Centre and stopping her search. er dream was to have an island but every company told her it wasn’t possible and submitted designs that lacked any thought or individuality.
“I felt like I’d toured the North West looking at kitchen showrooms,” says Julie. “All of them said an island wasn’t possible in the space I had and they proceeded to send me designs, that were really poor.”
Top of her wish list were Neff appliances so Julie Googled kitchen companies near to her Audenshaw home and Kitchen Design Centre popped up.
“I’ve always had Neff ovens,” says Julie. ”I love cooking and I’m so familiar with them that I had to have them in the new kitchen. I couldn’t believe Kitchen Design Centre was just one junction down the motorway. The kitchens on their website looked so different to all the other run of the mill ones I’d looked at and seemed to be just what I was after.”
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
As soon as she stepped into the Manchester showroom, and met designer Rowan Chick, Julie knew her search was over. One particular textured door caught her eye and she was amazed when Rowan said an island was possible in the space. In keeping with the grey palette throughout her home, Rowan and Julie selected two types of door – a real stone veneered door in Silver Star and a high gloss lacquered door in Lava Grey. These were complemented by suede matt-finish work tops in Silestone Cemento Spa. As Julie wanted Neff, an induction hob was chosen together with a Neff slide and hide oven and a Neff microwave. To finish the suite of Neff appliances, a Neff full height fridge was chosen.
Finished Kitchen
The end result is a stunning contemporary, sociable kitchen. At Christmas Julie was able to seat eight around the island: “This kitchen really has the wow factor,” says Julie. “I wanted an island and I can’t believe how fantastic this one is! I get so many compliments about the kitchen, I’m absolutely over the moon with it. It serves my needs perfectly – it’s great for everyday or entertaining, which is just what I wanted. Kitchen Design Centre really went the extra mile and I can’t speak highly enough of Rowan, who was fantastic from start to finish.”

"I enjoyed designing this kitchen. Julie wanted an island and I was determined to deliver one. Carefully positioning the appliances made it possible, together with making the island multifunctional - it acts as a preparation area, has the hob for cooking and acts as a dining area for up to eight. The colours and textures were great to work with too and the end result is a stunning functional, contemporary space."Rowan Chick

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.
