Having extended their home and created a large open plan area, they went to the Failsworth showroom at Housing Units and met with designer John Crosby. Being just 20 minutes from Kitchen Design Centre’s Urmston showroom, they also visited this showroom and gained valuable inspiration and ideas from the various displays on show, especially the utility room. Seeing other displays meant they discounted an industrial style kitchen, which was their initial idea and opted for a sleek, modern contemporary kitchen in grey tones instead.
John cleverly designed a space that was modern but also homely with twists such as open shelving in the island and contrasting textures throughout. He introduced a softer edge to the island with a sharknose edge and channel lighting around the island to create an ambient setting when the kitchen is not being used.
John advised on the space as a whole, with a major part of the design including his suggestion to change a large high window to a lower letterbox one. This enabled the Corian worktop to run into the window which not only looks better but creates a much larger working space.
Instead of a high breakfast bar, a lower dining table with chairs was introduced which suits the family perfectly, offering casual dining in the kitchen area. They loved the fact that John also made a matching formal dining table out of the same wood for their dining area opposite the kitchen.
Neff appliances were chosen including the Slide and Hide Oven, Oven with microwave, Venting hob, Integrated Dishwasher and a separate built-in fridge and freezer. A Chrome Quooker Pro3 Flex was also selected.
A key part of the design included a drinks area for both hot and cold drinks making at the end of the kitchen with the inclusion of a Liebherr wine cooler and a Neff Coffee machine.
A matching utility room was created and John also designed a functional boot room with tall units for outerwear storage and a bench and hooks for storage and seating by the back door.
The couple are delighted with John and the whole Kitchen Design Centre team including the fitters and love their new kitchen space.
"Initially, the architect’s plans had a small window which would have offset the main focus of the kitchen, which was the hob wall. After successfully using the same design idea on a previous kitchen installation, I suggested a ‘letter box window’ to be positioned in the centre of the run. This allows natural light into the space and replaces a backsplash. With the Corian running in to form the window sill it creates a seamless, easy to maintain worktop. I am really pleased with the finished space."John Crosby

A SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN WITH A T-SHAPED ISLAND
When a client decided to replace the kitchen in his Ribble Valley home, he approached Kitchen Design Centre and Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler after a recommendation from his business partner.
“I’m delighted with the look of the kitchen but also how functional it is. Will really thought about how the kitchen would work from a cooking perspective.”

What a transformation by Simon at our Barrowford showroom. SWIPE for the before and after.
Our client chose the lovely (finger print proof)matt Umbra and black velvet oak doors with striking Calacatta quartz worktops. The Umbra was chosen to coordinate with their existing dining set.
Simon from our Barrowford showroom ran the project with Graham from GCL Developments @gcldevelopments. All fitted while the customer were on holiday for a month.
Matching utility with wash basket storage, maximum floor to ceiling units and dog wash sink. The design was to open up the space and make all the rooms work as one family space, with defined areas/zones.
