The Minimalist Kitchen

Mr and Mrs Evans-Noon took advantage of the space in their home and expanded their medium-sized kitchen by combining the space with a smaller, unused area at the back of their home. The expansion of their kitchen space meant a big project was at hand, requiring extensive work from one of our recommended builders – including a new, pitched roof and ceiling. “The kitchen was just part of our ground floor project. We had recently downsized properties and renovated the whole house,” explains Mr Evans-Noon.

Finding the right designers for the job was easy. Despite having a large project at hand, the Evans-Noons knew they could trust Kitchen Design Centre with the job. “I used to drive past the showroom in Brownhill, Blackburn, on a regular basis and loved the eye catching contemporary displays in the window,” explains Mr Evans-Noon.

The couple also decided to enhance their kitchen space with the addition of a new room, a matching utility room, created from unused garage space. Roger Astin, the couple’s designer, was careful to keep the style of this new room in keeping with the new kitchen space – ensuring the quality, style, and colour of the room complemented the couple’s new kitchen.

By the end of the design and installation process, the couple’s kitchen had been transformed into a bright, contemporary, minimalist space – largely designed and created by Roger himself. He paired glacier white Corian worktops with laser soft, polar white cabinets – ensuring a bright and open space. Splashbacks in mirrored glass also give the illusion of a larger space and give the kitchen a luxury feel.

While space may have been limited, top appliances could still be enjoyed in the couple’s new kitchen. The pair opted for a handy Quooker tap along with a whole range of fantastic Neff appliances. These included a pyrolytic self-clean slide and hide oven, combination microwave and warming drawer all installed together at low level to give the appearance of a Range cooker but with a much higher

specification. The couple also chose a fully integrated dishwasher, hidden telescopic extractor, high fridge, high freezer, and the 80cm flex induction hob, all from Neff too.

Mr & Mrs Evans-Noon tell us, “We really enjoyed the experience. The project was managed well – right from design to completion.”
