The kitchen was to become the focal point of the new house and the largest room downstairs. Sue wanted it to be the perfect room for entertaining family and friends but suitable for everyday living when it was just the two of them.
The kitchen was so important that Sue researched various kitchen companies, getting quotes and designs from three in total.
Kitchen Design Centre came out as the clear winner as Sue preferred their design and felt designer Rowan Chick, who she met when she visited the Urmston showroom, was not only the best designer but the type of person she could work with. She found Rowan wasn’t pushy like designers at other companies and liked his calm, confident manner. Most importantly, she felt she could trust him.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
Sue also liked the fact that Kitchen Design Centre’s Urmston showroom gave her lots of inspiration and ideas for her kitchen. She loved one of the taupe and concrete coloured displays and went for a Taupe matt lacquered door, combined with a Putty Concrete Graphite textured laminate one.
A pantry cupboard displayed in the showroom really caught her eye and she had her heart set on replicating this in her kitchen which Rowan did to great effect. She also liked that Kitchen Design Centre were able to design her a matching utility room in a separate room behind the kitchen.
As a keen cook Sue wanted the best appliances and was delighted that Kitchen Design Centre was a Neff Masterpartner. She chose two Slide and Hide Pyrolytic Ovens together with the Flex Induction hob, separate build in Fridge and Freezers, a dishwasher and Wine Cabinet. For hot water on demand, she opted for the Quooker Flex in Chrome.
Because there was a lot of work going on in the house, Sue needed to be able to leave the fitters to it and she can’t praise Graham and his team enough. They did a fantastic job of installing the kitchen and utility room.
The finished kitchen living space has become the heart of their new home, they love the large room and how it suits their lifestyle. Most of all they love the reaction when friends visit the new house. They are blown away with the kitchen and the space as a whole.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
"I really researched kitchen companies and I made the right choice with Rowan and Kitchen Design Centre. The kitchen is everything I wanted and has made our new home."
"It was great to have a blank canvas to work with and translate Sue’s ideas in to reality. She loved so many aspects of the displays in the showroom that it was easy to adopt these in to the design. The kitchen works perfectly for her new house."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.
