Leading busy working lives and with a young family, Neil and Joanne Pye from Huncoat called in the experts at Kitchen Design Centre when they decided to completely re-model the kitchen and dining room of their new home.
As young professionals with careers, Neil and Joanne Pye didn’t have the time to project manage the re-design of their kitchen and dining room, which they wanted to transform into a contemporary family living space.
Kitchen Plan
Instead, they turned to Simon Thomas, one of Kitchen Design Centre’s leading designers based at KDC’s Colne showroom: “Joanne and Neil wanted something completely different as their kitchen and dining room at their property in Huncoat was separated by a boiler and peninsula cupboard. The first thing we did was move the boiler, which opened up a whole range of opportunities and possibilities.
“Instead of a kitchen and dining room we had a large space to work with so we were able to include long pan drawers, a fridge freezer and eye-level ovens.

“We also introduced horizontal grain wall panelling, which gave a spacious streamlined effect making the space look even bigger. On a practical note we introduced a contemporary take on a rail system around the walls which featured chunky 25m shelving.”
The couple from Huncoat opted for German manufactured Hacker units in gloss Basalt grey and Terra Oak panelling while the work surfaces featured White Jasmine Corian with an integrated Corian sink.
As a 5 star Neff Master partner, Kitchen Design Centre were able to advise on appliances in the new kitchen which features a 2015 specification Neff ‘slide and hide’ oven, a combination microwave, plate warming drawer, a large flex induction hob which is complemented by a Neff extractor, a low-frost fridge freezer and a Neff dishwasher. For the ultimate in contemporary convenience a Quooker twin tap was also installed.
Finished Kitchen
In the dining room Simon introduced floating feature units and shelving with Sensio LED lighting: “The dining area brought everything together and I’m pleased to say the family love their new kitchen!”
Following the extensive refurbishment, Neil and his wife Joanne, agreed: “Our previous kitchen wasn’t user friendly. It was a difficult shape to work with and nothing flowed, so we asked Simon at Kitchen Design Centre to come up with a design that made the kitchen workable, family friendly and a great space for entertaining.
“We gave him free rein and we loved what he did, we were over the moon.”
As a busy working family the couple, who both work in finance handed over the complete project to Kitchen Design Centre, a move that proved to be stress and worry free, as Neil explains: “Handing over the project management was an important factor for us as we both work nine to five and have two children. We didn’t have the time or the expertise to manage the project ourselves.
“Leaving everything to the professional team at Kitchen Design Centre, including the disposal of our old kitchen we had a fabulous new working kitchen within three to four weeks – I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kitchen Design Centre!”

"It was the best decision we made investing in a KDC kitchen, everything is spot on. The quality is 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.
