A SMART treat from Quooker delights our Barrowford kitchen designers!

A SMART treat from Quooker delights our kitchen designers!

Quooker is a name that needs virtually no introduction. The company made its name as the inventor of the world-famous Quooker tap, a high-tech kitchen gadget capable of dispensing boiling hot water in an instant. It’s served as the blueprint for Quooker’s steadily expanding Collection, which now encompasses the Quooker Flex, Fusion, and Nordic Twintaps – just to name a few!

Quooker’s combination of innovation and cutting-edge sophistication has made it a firm favourite for our customers, earning it a prestige that even rivals that of Neff, one of the world’s foremost kitchen appliance manufacturers. We’re proud to retain a longstanding relationship with the company right here at Kitchen Design Centre, and you’ll frequently see gleaming Quooker taps in many of our finished customer kitchens.

In recognition of that relationship, the Quooker team recently sent a lovely surprise over to our kitchen designers over at our showrooms! The team enjoyed a visit from Quooker who sent We Are Smart Bar, a premium fresh coffee, hot drink and snack service, all served from a converted smart car. A fabulous range of hot drinks and snacks were provided, and Quooker left the team with a fantastic goodie box of hot chocolate bombs and cakes for the team to enjoy.

“They were absolutely delicious,” said Simon Thomas, one of the designers at our Barrowford showroom. “We’re always open to new cuisine experiences at Kitchen Design Centre, and between the beautifully presented treats and the quirky smart car idea, this one has been quite distinctive!”

If you’re considering enhancing your kitchen with a high-tech Quooker tap, you can read one of our previous posts to find out more about them, and what value they can add to your kitchen. You can also watch a short video to find out how the technology has evolved over the years, and why it’s now seen as the safest and most sustainable option.

Got more questions? Our talented kitchen designers will be only too happy to answer them. For more information on Quooker and how a Quooker tap can transform your life, feel free to pop into any one of our stunning showrooms across the North West in Failsworth Manchester, Urmston Manchester, or Blackburn, Barrowford or Liverpool, where one of our designers will be only too happy to sit down with you and discuss. Our passion is to make your vision a reality!

TRADITION MEETS MODERNITY IN OUR LIVERPOOL SHOWROOM

In our Liverpool showroom, we’ve masterfully blended the best of traditional and modern design elements to create a unique, timeless kitchen display. This space is a perfect mix of classic elegance with contemporary functionality, and the focal point is the stunning L-shaped island, which serves as both a practical workspace and a social hub. Its clever design seamlessly links into a media wall and presentation area, incorporating the essence of modern open-plan living. 

The colour scheme is a sophisticated mix of Concept130 Roma Graphite shaker cabinets paired with Montreal light fine oak handleless units and taupe trim handles. This combination offers a perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, perfect if you appreciate the classics but want something a little more updated.

MODERN MINIMALISM AT ITS FINEST IN OUR URMSTON SHOWROOM

Our Urmston showroom display showcases a bold, modern kitchen design that effortlessly blends both form and function. The handleless units create a streamlined, uninterrupted flow throughout the space, perfectly complemented by the ultra-matt black finish on the worktops. This pairs beautifully with the elegant black ribbed-veneered door for the focal wall. 

This minimalist design approach offers a chic, contemporary vibe, ideal if you love the clean, clutter-free aesthetic. To enhance this look, we’ve used warm accent colours that break up the monochrome palette, adding a sense of inviting depth and warmth to the overall space. The subtle, extravagant marble panels add a touch of quiet luxury, their natural veining providing visual interest and texture against the sleek black surfaces, especially when lit by warm LED lighting. This fusion of modern materials and timeless elements, such as marble, creates a display that is both stylish and practical!

THE BARROWFORD SHOWROOM’S HARMONIOUS AND ELEGANT DISPLAY

In Barrowford, we’ve embraced a calming, earthy palette that combines functionality with elegance. The display features Hampton Ash wood doors painted in a Natural Umber shade, mixed with Scala Olive green flat doors, and completed with a mix of antique brass handles. The warm, neutral tones of the Natural Umber give this kitchen a wonderfully cosy feel, making it a welcoming space for both cooking and entertaining.

One of the key features of this display is the 30mm Vanilla Noir quartz worktop, which stands out with its dark, characterful design. The designer bench seating includes pullout storage to maximise space without sacrificing style. The bifold worktop unit and sliding doors on the island showcase smart storage solutions. Finally, the open shelves add a touch of rustic charm!

THE BLACKBURN SHOWROOM’S SLEEK AND MODERN MASTERPIECE

Our new Blackburn display is a testament to a modern, streamlined design. It features a bold black and oak colour scheme, seamlessly blending practicality and contemporary aesthetics. The tall units are clad in a Black Velvet Oak, adding depth and contrast to the sleek black wall units. The Toronto base units and matching worktops are finished in Natural Vintage Oak for a beautiful and cohesive end result.

One of the standout elements of this display is the quirky curved breakfast bar, a unique feature that blends functionality with style. Raised planters behind the bar add a touch of greenery; perfect if you love bringing natural elements into your kitchen.
