Katie and Graham knew replacing their kitchen would be a once in a lifetime project so they wanted a good quality, high-end product from an established, reputable kitchen company. Kitchen Design Centre offered both, together with a full project management service from start to finish which was really important to the couple.
Initially they shopped around but were reassuringly surprised with the quote they had back from Kitchen Design Centre, as Katie explains, “with the extra project management service that Kitchen Design Centre offered, their prices weren’t out of line with other companies and we got the project management service included.”
A visit to Kitchen Design Centre’s Blackburn showroom cemented their choice. They immediately warmed to designer Jenna Roberts and loved her enthusiasm, patience and design skills. Their brief to Jenna was to make the room flow with the others in the house and make it a space to entertain and have parties in.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
Jenna worked on several designs and after initially discounting the first design, the couple eventually chose that one, “ the design was so different to what we had that we said no when Jenna first showed us but when we thought about the space and she explained why she’d gone with that design we fell in love with it.”
They loved the blush and rose gold colours that were worked in to the overall white colour scheme in the kitchen. Contrasting with the Laser brilliant white units and Calcutta Neptune Quartz worktops were open boxes in Rose.
Katie continues, “I wanted a minimal look which Jenna achieved. I loved how she kept the space clutter-free by creating hidden areas for the appliances like the kettle and toaster so they weren’t on show. The design was so personal to us too – Jenna even created a litter tray section for our cat.”
Finished Kitchen
Katie had always wanted Neff and Jenna incorporated her wish list of Neff appliances which included a Neff Oven, Combi Microwave Oven, Warming drawer, Hob, Dishwasher and Fridge Freezer. Katie and Graham have since enjoyed the Neff cooking demonstrations in the Blackburn showroom which have enabled them to get the very best from the appliances and create some delicious dishes using features such as the steam setting of the oven.
The opposite side of the kitchen features areas for entertainment and storage which is perfect for when Katie and Graham want to entertain and host parties.
The family are delighted with the new kitchen and can’t speak highly enough of Kitchen Design Centre from Jenna to the fitters.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
"We have our dream kitchen. It looks incredible but it also works so well for us in practical way. It is a joy to cook in and it fits perfectly with the rest of our home. Jenna was fantastic. She was patient but not afraid to express her opinion and present various options to us. I would never have imagined the space could look so amazing."
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.
