A frequent visitor to Housing Units, he naturally gravitated towards the renowned Kitchen Design Centre showroom which is based on-site. The moment he stepped inside, he was captivated by the stunning displays, each one sparking fresh ideas for his own project.
It was here that Dave met designer Paul Harrington, whose creativity and expertise set the tone for the entire journey. From the outset, Dave was clear that he wanted a sleek, monochrome scheme. Paul took this vision and elevated it into an exceptional design that was perfect from the very first design—no alterations needed.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
A key feature of the new layout was the reimagined island. Previously set vertically, Paul cleverly reoriented it horizontally, instantly transforming the flow and function of the space. This subtle yet impactful change created a more sociable and practical hub at the heart of the home.
Trusting Paul’s guidance entirely, Dave embraced his recommendations for appliances, opting for a complete suite from Neff. The seamless integration of these high-performance appliances not only enhances functionality but also complements the streamlined contemporary style. This was further enhanced with a Quooker Pro 3 Flex tap and Blanco sink.
One of Dave’s favourite elements is a personal twist inspired by the showroom itself: the illuminated slogan that first caught his eye during his visit. Recreated within his own kitchen, it has become a unique focal point, injecting character and a touch of personality into the monochrome design.
The project was delivered to perfection, thanks to the skilled fitters who brought Paul’s vision to life with precision and care. For Dave, the transformation has exceeded expectations: it’s striking, modern, and in tune with the rest of his home.
Reflecting on the experience, Dave says, “It’s got the wow factor. It hasn’t just given me a new kitchen, it’s transformed my home. It looks fantastic but it’s also practical, which makes all the difference day to day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul or Kitchen Design Centre; the whole experience has been first class.”

"Dave knew exactly the look he wanted, which gave me a fantastic starting point. By refining the layout and introducing a few bold design details, we created a kitchen that’s both contemporary and practical. The illuminated slogan adds a really fun, unique element, making this space not just functional, but striking too."Paul Harrington

Little kitchen decisions that make everyday life SO much easier 🙌🏼
We positioned the dishwasher right beside the drawers where we keep our plates, bowls and cutlery, and honestly… it’s made unloading so much quicker!
It might seem like a small detail when planning your kitchen, but getting the layout right can make such a difference to how your kitchen works day to day.

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.
