Danielle and Matt wanted to change their dated kitchen so they approached Kitchen Design Centre and one other company to come up with ideas and designs for a more contemporary kitchen and living space that fully utilised the space they had available.
The other kitchen company was immediately discounted when their designs were so impractical they barely left any space to walk round the kitchen! This contrasted heavily with Kitchen Design Centre: Straight away they found Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler to be on their wavelength, listening to their brief but being clear when he felt an idea wouldn’t work. Danielle wanted an island for example but Will explained how a peninsular would work much better in the space.
Kitchen Design Centre’s project management skills and flexibility also appealed to Danielle and Matt. With a solid wood floor that they wanted to keep throughout the downstairs of the house, they liked the fact that Kitchen Design Centre assisted in keeping and restoring it, not only working the kitchen installation around keeping it, but recommending a specialist tradesperson to expertly restore and re-lay each section of the floor.

When it came to colours, Danielle was adamant she didn’t want white but Will persuaded her that a combination of subtle whites would keep the area light and bright. Cashmere coloured units were chosen to sit against brilliant white ones which provided contrast within the space.
The fantastic range of displays in the Blackburn showroom gave them a great deal of inspiration and they liked Will’s clever ideas, in particular the wood panel he created on the wall and the bespoke dining table he designed to match the kitchen. To add interest and fun to the space Will also incorporated changing coloured lights above the units.
Finished Kitchen
Wanting the very best appliances Danielle selected Neff throughout, loving the product’s capabilities, in particular the induction hob and the Slide and hide oven which she says make the best roast potatoes she’s ever tasted!
In addition to the Neff ovens, Danielle also chose a Neff microwave, warming drawer, and induction hobs. She complemented these with a Neff built in fridge, freezer, integrated dishwasher and washing machine.
“To say our new kitchen has changed the way we live would be an understatement,” says Danielle, “ we haven’t used our lounge for over six months! We spend all our time as a family in the kitchen and I love the fact that it’s the perfect space for entertaining too: at Christmas we had twelve for dinner quite comfortably in this room.”
The family were delighted with the whole Kitchen Design Centre team, from Will down to the fitters and can’t recommend them highly enough.

"We spend all our time as a family in the kitchen and I love the fact that it’s the perfect space for entertaining too: at Christmas we had twelve for dinner quite comfortably in this room."
"It was great to re-design this space and turn a u-shaped kitchen in to an area with distinct zones. I liked how Danielle was open to my design suggestions, like going with a predominantly white palate and incorporating coloured lighting and a peninsular. The end result is a stunning light and airy space."Will Hustler

Little kitchen decisions that make everyday life SO much easier 🙌🏼
We positioned the dishwasher right beside the drawers where we keep our plates, bowls and cutlery, and honestly… it’s made unloading so much quicker!
It might seem like a small detail when planning your kitchen, but getting the layout right can make such a difference to how your kitchen works day to day.
One to remember if you’re planning a kitchen 👀

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.
