A sleek contemporary kitchen for a Ribble Valley home

Lana Shannon and her husband didn’t just want a new kitchen, they wanted a company and designer who could assist with their entire renovation, advising and project managing every step of the way.

Step forward Kitchen Design Centre and Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Huster who took on board exactly what Lana wanted and not only designed a stunning, functional space but handled everything from design to installation.

Initially Lana approached another company but felt they didn’t listen to what she wanted unlike Will who incorporated everything on her wish list from lots of storage to a special dog bed! Most importantly, Will took in to account future project plans for an enlarged family room extension from the kitchen and designed the kitchen with this in mind. It determined the length of the breakfast bar and the space left for a dining table.

Will proposed opening up the space and removing a door to create one large open plan area. Lana’s husband liaised with him on the design for the drinks area and they selected colours by looking at various grey options Will presented on the CAD design programme. Steel dark units were selected throughout the kitchen with Quartz worktops in Attico white. They found Will’s creative input invaluable; he suggested removing an old bulkhead, inserting black strips on the tall units and framing them with Ontario Oak to tie in with the breakfast bar and soften the overall look.

Appliances were important to the couple and they selected Neff throughout. Central to the island design was the brand new Neff Downdraft Hob in black and clear glass which not only looks fantastic but Lana has found it to be invaluable whilst cooking as it swiftly extracts all smells and moisture and disappears in to the island after use.

As a keen cook Lana wanted three ovens, opting for two Neff Slide and Hide and the Neff Compact Oven with Microwave. A separate Liebherr fridge and freezer were also chosen together with a Blanco sink and the Quooker Pro3 Flex and Cube.

The kitchen was fitted whilst the couple were at their second home in France and despite being hundreds of miles away, Lana was blown away with how smoothly the installation went and how fantastic Nigel the builder and the fitters were. She was constantly updated with photo’s and phone calls and felt completely at ease.

Lana and her husband are delighted with the finished space and can’t praise Will and Kitchen Design Centre highly enough:

“The whole team from Will to Nigel the builder and the fitters were fantastic. They were so accommodating. The quality of the kitchen is unbelievable! If I was to move again I would use Will and Kitchen Design Centre without hesitation!”

What Our Designer Says

"I’m delighted with the finished space; it has the ‘wow’ factor but is also functional and works well as everything is within reach when cooking. They were initially apprehensive about how successful the new downdraft hob could be but without doubt Lana was more than impressed with its results after installation."

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.
