A stylish transformation

When Richard decided to remodel his Didsbury home and create an open-plan kitchen and living area, he turned to designer Lauren Couperthwaite at Kitchen Design Centre who updated and transformed his kitchen and living space.

He visited Kitchen Design Centre’s Failsworth showroom and was so impressed with the quality of the product and with Lauren’s ideas that he didn’t approach any other kitchen companies for alternative designs or quotations. He liked that fact that there was no heavy sales pitch and that Lauren really listened to his ideas. From the outset he felt he could trust Lauren and that she had real pride in her work.

Thanks to Lauren’s design a dated, dark, grey kitchen soon became a fresher, lighter, brighter one as she remodelled the whole space, opting for lighter coloured units in Laser Soft Taupe and a revised layout. Not only did it look better but it is now far more practical and works with zoned areas for preparation, dining and entertaining which are separate but work perfectly together in the space.

A key element of the re-design included a stunning media wall that has become a real focal point in the room. Despite wanting a lighter kitchen, Richard was concerned that the kitchen would look too clinical but Lauren preventing this by cleverly introducing walnut accents for a homely feel and linking the media wall with the walnut elements of the kitchen.

Richard liked the fact that Lauren took the time to perfect the design, presenting a few options that they tweaked until it was perfect. Clever additions really make the space such as the shelving area that is not only practical but softens the design and the addition of brass features throughout.

As a keen cook Richard was delighted that Kitchen Design Centre were a Neff Master partner and chose Neff throughout with the venting hob in glass black and the Slide and Hide Oven and Compact microwave together with a Neff integrated fridge freezer.

Richard was most impressed with Kitchen Design Centre’s fitters who installed the kitchen whilst he was on holiday, meaning he returned to a fabulous new kitchen.

The result is a fabulous open plan space that cleverly combines the kitchen with an entertainment and dining area. It looks fantastic and has become the heart of Richard’s lovely home.

"The new kitchen really has transformed the space. The area is light and bright and looks really striking, with everything tying in to look fabulous overall"

In addition to the kitchen it was great to work on the entertainment area that ties in perfectly with the kitchen. The new kitchen really has transformed the space. The area is light and bright and looks really striking, with everything tying in to look fabulous overall."

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.
