Homeowners looking to replace their kitchen should be wary of large discounts being offered by some national retailers, so says local kitchen designer Roger Astin from Kitchen Design Centre.
Kitchen Design Centre, in business for 25 years, has an enviable reputation for customer service.
Roger warns: “We are seeing an increase in the number of large nationals inflating their prices only to offer huge discounts and recent TV coverage on Britain’s Secret Shopper where a kitchen was discounted by more than 50% only adds to the confusion.”
“We would urge consumers to take time to investigate the quality and specification of the furniture and appliances they are buying as these can vary greatly and will have a big impact on price.
“Two kitchens can easily look the same but a closer inspection can reveal differences such as the strength of the carcass, quality of hinges and durability of door finishes to name a few.
“Consumers should also consider the quality of the service they will get throughout the process in terms of planning, design, installation and after care.
“This is difficult to assess at the outset but talking to different types of companies should highlight where the differences are.
“As a member of the KBSA we maintain high standards of design, supply, installation and customer service and are subject to strict monitoring to ensure continued professional service.
“Customers that receive a quote from us are surprised to find how much it includes and how often it can compare favourably with kitchens from some of the large well known multiples.”
CONTEMPORARY ELEGANCE FOR A PERIOD HOME
When Zee and Adam decided to transform their kitchen, they explored several companies before selecting Kitchen Design Centre in Barrowford.
Contemporary elegance for a period home
It was Simon Thomas, the Showroom Manager, who stood out with his exceptional design expertise and ability to offer creative, tailored solutions.
The couple were particularly impressed by the Barrowford showroom, liking its large size and the variety of stunning displays. They liked the main flagship display and it inspired their final design, as they adopted many features including the large island and Graphite and Taupe colour scheme.
Seeking a modern update to their traditional kitchen, Zee and Adam tasked Simon with reimagining the space while respecting the period property’s original features. To achieve their vision, they decided to remove a wall and merge two rooms, creating a spacious, open-plan kitchen and living area that now spans the length of their home.

A STUNNING CLASSICAL KITCHEN FOR A LUXURY APARTMENT
When Karen and Peter downsized from their farm, they opted for a luxurious apartment in a historic hall in Holmfirth, Yorkshire. For their dream kitchen, they turned to Lauren Couperthwaite at Kitchen Design Centre, Housing Units, Failsworth.
Initially considering a local bespoke kitchen company, Karen found they couldn’t match the extensive product range and expert design skills of Kitchen Design Centre.
The brief was to celebrate the apartment’s grand architectural features—high ceilings, natural light, and intricate coving—while crafting a kitchen that blended seamlessly with the home’s traditional aesthetic. Lauren’s choice of a pale sage green ash-effect eucalyptus finish brought timeless charm, perfectly paired with classic handles.
