Rick Neild and Lisa Hamant were amazed after four separate rooms were transformed into one multi-functional modern kitchen.

Hunt For New Hob Transformed Into Luxury Modern Kitchen

Originally, they commissioned Kitchen Design Centre to turn their traditional kitchen into a more practical room – to be used as a family gathering point.

But the end result was that the old kitchen, utility room, dining room and an unused area was transformed into one all-purpose luxury living space.

“Kitchen Design Centre exceeded my expectations – creating a fantastic spacious room with many uses,” said Rick.

“At first, all we wanted to do was replace the hob in our existing kitchen – but we ended up getting a brand new room.”

“When we were shopping around, the intention was to build on our cozy old-fashioned kitchen. But when we visited Kitchen Design Centre there was such an exciting range of modern designer kitchens that we completely changed our minds.”

Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?

As well as an “island working space” in the centre of the designer kitchen, there is a dining area and glass door that allows light to pour into the room – creating a bright and homely feel.

“The kitchen houses all the latest modern Neff appliances,” said Rick. “They greatly assist our day-to-day living – including warming drawers, twin fridge freezers and a ‘100 degrees’ boiling water tap – a Quooker.”

“Everyone should own a Quooker. It makes a huge difference to our lifestyle – cutting down cooking times dramaticall

“I liked to the way Kitchen Design Centre came out to our home and were concerned about every little practical detail. They even went as far as to suggest cupboards and appliances appropriate to our heights.

“The fantastic designs from Emma, our designer, really gave us an accurate depiction of what to expect.”

“Emma, Designer at Kitchen Design Centre, said: “The final product was nothing like what the couple originally planned, but a collaborative effort between us, Rick and Lisa enabled us to create their dream kitchen.

“To make the different areas into one amazing room, we knocked through several walls and built an extra large glass door. The kitchen is now extremely spacious and bright.”

Rick is more than happy with both the end product and the help he received from Kitchen Design Centre.

“I am extremely pleased with our new designer kitchen,” he said. “Every time someone walks into our house they are stunned by the transformation.

“I would certainly recommend Kitchen Design Centre to my friends. The attention to detail, as well as the help we received from both designers and workmen, made the company a pleasure to work with.”

MODERN MINIMALISM AT ITS FINEST IN OUR URMSTON SHOWROOM

Our Urmston showroom display showcases a bold, modern kitchen design that effortlessly blends both form and function. The handleless units create a streamlined, uninterrupted flow throughout the space, perfectly complemented by the ultra-matt black finish on the worktops. This pairs beautifully with the elegant black ribbed-veneered door for the focal wall. 

This minimalist design approach offers a chic, contemporary vibe, ideal if you love the clean, clutter-free aesthetic. To enhance this look, we’ve used warm accent colours that break up the monochrome palette, adding a sense of inviting depth and warmth to the overall space. The subtle, extravagant marble panels add a touch of quiet luxury, their natural veining providing visual interest and texture against the sleek black surfaces, especially when lit by warm LED lighting. This fusion of modern materials and timeless elements, such as marble, creates a display that is both stylish and practical!

In Barrowford, we’ve embraced a calming, earthy palette that combines functionality with elegance. The display features Hampton Ash wood doors painted in a Natural Umber shade, mixed with Scala Olive green flat doors, and completed with a mix of antique brass handles. The warm, neutral tones of the Natural Umber give this kitchen a wonderfully cosy feel, making it a welcoming space for both cooking and entertaining.

One of the key features of this display is the 30mm Vanilla Noir quartz worktop, which stands out with its dark, characterful design. The designer bench seating includes pullout storage to maximise space without sacrificing style. The bifold worktop unit and sliding doors on the island showcase smart storage solutions. Finally, the open shelves add a touch of rustic charm!

The Toronto base units and matching worktops are finished in Natural Vintage Oak for a beautiful and cohesive end result.

One of the standout elements of this display is the quirky curved breakfast bar, a unique feature that blends functionality with style. Raised planters behind the bar add a touch of greenery; perfect if you love bringing natural elements into your kitchen.
