It was Simon Thomas, the Showroom Manager, who stood out with his exceptional design expertise and ability to offer creative, tailored solutions.
The couple were particularly impressed by the Barrowford showroom, liking its large size and the variety of stunning displays. They liked the main flagship display and it inspired their final design, as they adopted many features including the large island and Graphite and Taupe colour scheme.
Seeking a modern update to their traditional kitchen, Zee and Adam tasked Simon with reimagining the space while respecting the period property’s original features. To achieve their vision, they decided to remove a wall and merge two rooms, creating a spacious, open-plan kitchen and living area that now spans the length of their home.

Part of the building work involved installing underfloor heating and working round an old mantle that was in the middle of the room. Simon skilfully incorporated the mantle area into the design, using half-depth cupboards to work around the feature. He also arranged for GLC developments to handle the structural building work and craft bespoke skirting boards to match the originals, preserving the room’s charm.
An island was at the top of their wish list, and Simon ensured it became the focal point of the kitchen, advising on the perfect proportions to complement the space.
When it came to appliances they were delighted that Kitchen Design Centre were Master Neff partners and chose the Flex design ovens and hob with co-ordinating trims. They complemented these with a Liebherr fridge and freezer with ice maker and a Quooker flex tap in black with filtered and sparkling water.
The result is a stunning kitchen that combines functionality and style, seamlessly blending period charm with contemporary design. The family couldn’t be happier with the transformation.
“We’ve found that we spend so much more time together as a family now,” they shared. “The space is perfect for everything—from casual and formal dining to food preparation, cooking and relaxing. It’s exactly what we wanted.”
They can’t praise Kitchen Design Centre enough, from Simon and GLC, the building company, right through to Craig the fitter who did an impeccable job.

"This project was a pleasure to work on. The finished space looks stunning, but the greatest reward is knowing it has improved the way the family lives—confirming that I’ve achieved my goal as a designer."Simon Thomas

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.
