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.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
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.

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With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an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.
