When a couple moved in to their dream house in Bolton, one of the first things they wanted to change was the dated kitchen. Keen to ensure the style of the new kitchen was in keeping with the rest of the house, they contacted three kitchen companies with a view to getting designs and prices for a contemporary white kitchen.
It was Paul Harrington and Kitchen Design Centre that led the way in terms of price and design. “Kitchen Design Centre’s designs were by far the best and the price was a nice surprise too, coming in cheaper than the other companies.” Initially the couple had their heart set on a white kitchen but this all changed when they visited the showroom and fell in love with a dark style display that incorporated a stunning textured feature cupboard.
Are you ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?
“When we saw that cupboard it changed everything. We went from wanting a pure white kitchen to a dark one. The textured cupboard matched our parquet flooring in the hall perfectly and it added a whole new element to the kitchen. From that moment I had my heart set on it.”
Paul incorporated the textured unit in to one tall wall cupboard for contrast and on all the lower island units. Handle trim lighting on the edges of the island underneath the granite made it really stand out. To complement the dark tones of the kitchen, a Silestone Cemento Spa worktop in a suede finish was chosen.
The couple loved the way Paul advised them on appliances and chose two Neff ovens, both premium touch screen ovens: one slide and hide and the other a compact oven with microwave. This accompanied their Neff induction hob. In addition to this, two fully integrated built in fridge freezers were installed side by side to create the American fridge freezer type effect when opened. A 3-in-1 Quooker tap which the couple absolutely love was also selected.

"The textured cupboard matched our parquet flooring in the hall perfectly and it added a whole new element to the kitchen. From that moment I had my heart set on it."
"t was great to design a kitchen in dark colours. A monochrome look always stands out and this looks fantastic. I’m delighted with the finished look as it certainly has the ‘wow’ factor. The space was quite a difficult one being long and thin with limited wall space. It meant the island and wall units had to have special consideration. I made sure there were defined areas for cooking and eating on the island/breakfast bar and created difference by raising the level of the breakfast bar end. The granite is 40 cm thicker than the rest of the island here. I was really happy the couple went for the textured doors in gold green too. These created a real contrast and point of difference in the kitchen; particularly the solo feature wall cupboard."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.
