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.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
“I knew something was missing with the design and that it could be improved but I didn’t know how. After one visit to Rowan, he came up with a brand-new design that was spot on and was just what I wanted. It really had the wow factor and transformed the end of the room which was previously a dead space in the other design, in to an area with stunning statement shelving.”
An overall dark aesthetic was chosen with a Dark Walnut door contrasting with a Matt Laquered Cashmere door and a feature Black Oak Ribbed Veneer door. This all paired well with the White Haze quartz worktop featuring an intricate reverse shark nose edge detail with a quartz surround and splashback to the sink area.
A hidden clever feature behind one of the tall units is a secret door to the family’s gym in the room behind. Rowan also included a breakfast cupboard in the design with worktop space inside for appliances which Nicole loves as it enables everything to be hidden and closed away with no appliances showing.
Nicole wanted Neff appliances and chose two Slide&hide ovens, a vented induction hob on the island, integrated larder fridge and freezer, integrated Dishwasher with Open Assist and TimeLight and a wine cabinet. She also chose 4-in-1 Matt Black Quooker Flex Tap with a cold water filter.
The statement shelving that Rowan included really makes the room and is now one of Nicole’s favourite parts of the kitchen, together with the open shelf with mirror detail on the island. It’s these clever design features that were missing from the other company’s design that really make the kitchen and make it look so high-end.
Nicole and Anthony are delighted with the finished kitchen and found everyone at Kitchen Design Centre to be incredible, from Rowan through to the fitters who were brilliant, installing everything on time and in an organised, neat way.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
"We are over the moon with the finished kitchen it’s way beyond our initial expectations. It looks amazing and fits perfectly with the rest of the house."
"I loved designing this kitchen. Knowing that Nicole had a keen eye for design meant she had a good idea of the look she was after and wasn’t afraid to go for dramatic, bold choices. From the dark cabinetry to the unique quartz, everything works perfectly, and the overall look is incredible."Rowan Chick

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.
