In keeping with the grey theme of the whole house, designer Paul Harrington created a contemporary kitchen with differing textures and colours. Storage was important – there needed to be lots of it and the design had to make the most of the high ceilings and original steel structures. The kitchen also had to lend itself to the open plan nature of the house which is essentially one very large open plan room with the kitchen being the main part.
“There was no doubt who we’d turn to when it came to the kitchen,” says Claire, “ I loved the kitchen Kitchen Design Centre designed for us in our last house and two of our family members have had amazing kitchens from them since.” In contrast to her last kitchen which was based around wooden beams and predominantly oak, Claire wanted a range of greys to mirror the colour scheme throughout the new house and for the kitchen to be very contemporary.

“I needed the kitchen to be a sociable place where the kids could sit and talk to me whilst I cooked,” said Claire. She continues, “It was important that it wasn’t separated and included a dining area and breakfast bar for more casual eating. I also wanted a drinks area with its own wine fridge. This area is fantastic and makes a great addition to the room”. She also asked Kitchen Design Centre to design a matching utility room – again in shades of grey.
Neff appliances including a dishwasher, single oven, compact oven and microwave, warming drawer, no frost freezer, built in fridge and flex induction hob were chosen together with a Quooker mixer tap in chrome. Toronto grey oak cupboards were contrasted with laser soft white and Putty concrete Graphite with a light Corian worktop in Cameo white, chosen to reflect the light and stop the room feeling dark.
Finished Kitchen
Claire and Liam are delighted with the stunning end result and feel the kitchen really makes the house, “I spend all my time in here,” says Claire, “ I just love it. I can’t thank Paul and Kitchen Design Centre enough. The conversion of our house was an incredibly difficult process where we had to adhere to strict planning regulations. In contrast to many other suppliers and other steps of the process, dealing with Paul and Kitchen Design Centre was really easy and an absolute pleasure.”

" I just love it. I can’t thank Paul and Kitchen Design Centre enough."
"I got involved with this kitchen when the architect plans came out and with it being an open space it was like having a blank canvas to work with which was great. The area is deceptively big and with high ceilings it could take quite a dramatic design. Claire wanted a monochrome colour scheme with various shades of grey to match the décor throughout the house. I felt it was important to make this work by introducing various textures. White was important to keep it from looking too dark and to contrast with the white island, I suggested a Siletone Quartz dark breakfast bar in suede finish, Cemento Spa colour . I liked the fact the family wanted a separate drinks area – this really works in the kitchen and creates a whole feature area away from the cooking space. The kitchen is such an important part of house and I feel we’ve succeeded in making it a real focal point and creating the ‘wow’ factor."Paul Harrington

A KITCHEN AND LIVING SPACE REIMAGINED FOR A RIBBLE VALLEY HOME
Paulo and Debbie first discovered Kitchen Design Centre back in 2013 when they created their dream kitchen—and they loved it so much that, years later, they returned once more.
This time, it was for a brand-new kitchen, utility room, games room and garage storage area as part of a major renovation to their family home.
Inspired by a stunning display in the Barrowford showroom, Paulo and Debbie teamed up with Barrowford Showroom Manager, Simon Thomas. With over 25 years of experience, Simon was the perfect person to take on their new brief—one that pushed boundaries and called for creativity in a limited space.
Debbie, inspired by Pinterest, envisioned a kitchen with rich walnut tones. Simon brought this to life with a sophisticated, contemporary design that cleverly created the feeling of a large island in a narrow room, proving that great design isn’t about space—it’s about smart solutions. He did this by linking the island to one wall to create the perfect cooking centre with all the focus in to the room.
“Simon was incredible. We loved the kitchen so much that we asked him to turn his attention to the majority of our downstairs. The whole area now has real wow factor—and it’s incredibly practical too. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

A SLEEK, HIGH-END CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN FOR A MANCHESTER HOME
When renovating their Worsley home, Kim and Paul knew exactly who to trust with their dream kitchen — Kitchen Design Centre.
A Sleek, High-End Contemporary Kitchen for a Manchester Home
Having worked with them four years ago in their previous home, they were so thrilled with the result that choosing them again was an easy decision.
Visiting the Urmston showroom, they were immediately inspired by the stunning displays and enlisted designer Rowan Chick to create a sleek yet functional space. They envisioned a monochrome palette to complement the ultra-modern aesthetic of their new home — a striking contrast to their previous more traditional navy and taupe kitchen.
