Kitchen Plan
Having worked with Kitchen Design Centre for many years on various property projects, including the prestigious Derwent House development, Debbie Benedetto and her husband Paolo knew exactly where to go when they decided a new kitchen was needed at their own home in Simonstone.
“We had a good idea of what we wanted and we already knew that the team at Kitchen Design Centre have a reputation for great design and impeccable service,” explains Debbie, who had already decided that the long narrow kitchen in their detached home, could be opened up and improved by knocking a wall down and moving the utility room to create more space.
“We discussed the layout with the designer Will, who came up with two or three great ideas. We very much wanted a family orientated kitchen, ideally with an island and breakfast bar, but didn’t know where these would go.”

Debbie and Paolo were lucky to be shown a brand new design from premier German manufacturer Hacker – the Oxford making them the first in the UK to acquire the design!
They fell in love with the Shaker style which blends clean contemporary lines with traditional design.
Choosing two different lacquer colours, cream and cashmere, and two different handle designs for each colour, gives the Benedettos a totally individual kitchen that is unique to them.
They also chose sleek Silestone work surfaces that are also incorporated into the window sills thanks to Will’s innovative designs.
Neff appliances were incorporated including an induction hob, a combination microwave oven, fridge freezer, oven and warming drawer – and to top it all the instant boiling water Quooker tap.
Finished Kitchen
“I’m so impressed with the Quooker tap,” says Debbie. “In fact I love the whole design of the kitchen. Kitchen Design Centre has an outstanding reputation for service and they certainly did a great job designing and installing our new kitchen. It is just perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing!”
Blackburn Manager and designer Will Hustler, was delighted that Debbie turned to Kitchen Design Centre for her own kitchen, saying: “I have worked with Debbie for a few years now and she knows what we can do and how we work. She has a very good eye for detail and liked to keep an element of traditional in the design style. It was a pleasure to create a dream kitchen for her family on a personal level.
“It was quite a long kitchen and not a particularly great layout but when we formulated the design to incorporate the utility space, it completely changed the dynamics.”
Placing the island in the centre of the kitchen created a stunning yet workable focal point, while the breakfast bar was designed as a substantial table to allow family and guests to gather round.
The result is a beautiful, yet practical, kitchen and living space.
“It is absolutely stunning,” says Will. “The flow and layout is now very open and balanced.”

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.
