David and Lois decided to pop in to the showroom when they were in town. They had no real need or desire for a new kitchen but decided to pop in for a look at the displays. Fast forward a year and their stunning home has been transformed thanks to a complete room change and stunning modern shaker style Kitchen Design Centre kitchen.
When they visited the showroom they loved the displays and started to think about how they could work in their house. They weren’t keen on traditional shaker style kitchens and handleless was too modern for them but they loved a display that was a happy medium: a modern shaker style that they hadn’t seen before and decided to explore the possibility of this style in their house.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
Designer Rowan Chick visited them at home for a complimentary home visit and discussed the various options available to them based on their design ideas. Lois loved the idea of a blue kitchen and designer Rowan Chick came up with three design options that showcased different layouts all in striking blue colours. In the end they opted for a large island in Hampton Ocean Blue with a lower bespoke dining table that gave them plenty of storage and made the most of the views out to their stunning garden through their panoramic doors.
The colour of the units chosen was Hampton Taupe and Ocean Blue and these colours were offset with Quartz worktops in Strata. A feature tile splash back that Lois had seen in the showroom was copied and adds real interest to the space as all the colours in the kitchen are featured. Being keen cooks, they chose Neff appliances throughout including the Full touch Slide & Hide oven, Full touch compact oven with microwave, warming drawer and Flex induction hob. In addition to a Neff Integrated larder fridge they also chose a Neff built under freezer. The couple also opted for a Quooker Flex tap.
To complement the kitchen they asked Rowan to design their utility room which now sits to the side of the kitchen. In similar colours this practical space complements the kitchen perfectly.
The new kitchen has totally transformed their home and looks incredible. The blue and off-white palette works perfectly and the whole space feels airy and homely. David and Lois are delighted with Kitchen Design Centre, finding the whole process from meeting Rowan at the start to dealing with the fitters to be seamless and stress free. They love their new kitchen and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kitchen Design Centre.

"The new kitchen has totally transformed their home and looks incredible. "
"This project was unique because David and Lois came in to the showroom just for a look and loved the displays. It was great to work with them from the idea stage right through to installing the kitchen and transforming the space. I love the bold blue colour and can’t believe how incredible the new space is."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.
