Gordon and Sabrina loved the Shaker style kitchen that Paul Harrington designed for them in their Hyde home so much that when they moved to Marple, they called on Kitchen Design Centre and Paul again to create a similar kitchen in their new house!
Incorporating Hampton Graphite and White shaker doors but with a modern design twist, the kitchen was the same colour as their first kitchen but slightly bigger to accommodate their new space. Antique bronze effect handles completed the look and the worktops were almost identical but this time they opted for 30mm Calacatta Aurum which has a stunning gold fleck throughout.
Like the last kitchen, a large island dominates the design and offers casual dining in the form of breakfast bar dinging together with an undercounter wine cabinet and two Neff ovens which complement Sabrina’s existing range cooker.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
Gordon and Sabrina found Paul’s advice to be invaluable as at one point they were considering an extension to make the kitchen space bigger but Paul showed them that with the right design in the existing space, an extension wasn’t necessary.
They loved the Neff appliances in their first Kitchen Design Centre kitchen so chose Neff once again, opting for the Slide and Hide oven, warming drawer and Compact Oven and Microwave. To tie-in with the overall Shaker style, a Blanco Villae Single Bowl Ceramic Farmhouse Sink was chosen together with a Pro3 Fusion round Quooker tap in Patinated Brass.
Like the first time, the couple found Kitchen Design Centre’s project management to be spot on and the fitters were excellent again, with everything running smoothly.
The finished space is stunning and Sabrina loves how she’s already familiar with cooking in the kitchen and knows where everything is and how all the appliances work.

"We loved our Kitchen Design Centre kitchen in our last house and were really impressed with Paul so it made sense to go back to Paul for a similar kitchen! It looks fantastic, we’re delighted once again."
"I loved designing Gordon and Sabrina’s kitchen the first time round. With a twist on a classic shaker style, this design looks fantastic. It was great to replicate the design in their new house, adapting it to suit the new space."Paul Harrington

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With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an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