If you’ve popped by our showrooms recently, you may have noticed some exciting new displays, all designed with the fabulous German Oxford range. After seeing this particular range during our Hacker factory tour in October, we knew we had to get our hands on it!
The great thing about all the ranges at Kitchen Design Centre is their versatility. Although we may be using the same colours, materials and furnishings in a number of homes, there are so many ways we can make a kitchen personal to a client’s needs. This is what we decided to demonstrate across our Colne and Manchester kitchen showrooms, creating very different kitchen designs using the new German Oxford range.

At the Colne kitchen showroom you’ll find a beautiful beige grey display. It’s accented with white painted shaker doors and angel white granite to complement the mix of door colours. “It’s English inspired cabinetry meets German precision manufacturing,” explains designer Simon Thomas.
Intelligent features include a dresser shelf unit all with the latest recessed led lights as well as some of the latest interior organisation systems called MOVE. These innovative storage systems are really impressive and include things like solid wood inner fitting and cutlery trays, base units with waste systems, interior drawers with removable bottle racks and a special cooking storage system.
Of course, one of our kitchens wouldn’t be complete without top-end appliances and a showroom kitchen is no different. For this display we’ve chosen a 90cm duel fuel range cooker with a built in chef top and a traditional mantle with 120cm stainless steel chimney hood, a built in microwave and top of the range dishwasher, as well as the latest Neff Vita fresh fridge – that keeps your produce fresh for up to four times longer.

Over at the Manchester showroom you’ll see that designer John Crosby has worked his magic with the German Oxford range too. After seeing how well the cashmere and white doors worked together, he decided to also introduce a contrasting colour – walnut. John integrated a full stave 80mm American Walnut breakfast bar into the design to create a completely different look and feel to the German Oxford range. A mantle was also built to house a Britannia Intimo hood, creating a real focal point in the kitchen and a more traditional, natural look by integrating yet more wood.
Other fabulous features include a useful broom unit, with the interior set out to house every day items, such as coats and jackets, brushes, vacuum cleaner and a wire shelving system for cleaning products. A larder unit, which has pull out drawers to make access into the unit much easier, was also designed into the kitchen space. These units sit by the must-have American Fridge Freezer, which has an ice making facility and temperature control VarioBox.
We have some BIG news today & it’s a big CONGRATULATIONS to:
Simon Thomas - 25 years at Kitchen Design Centre!
On the 14th November 2000, Simon joined Kitchen Trade Centre, to start his career with us at the proposed new Colne showroom that he helped to fit out for its opening day in 2001. All these years later & a move to larger premises in Barrowford, he is still consistently designing fabulous kitchens, aspiring others in the company & leading by example as the top salesperson overall for the company.
25 years is an incredible milestone and impressive achievement to reach, and this is a true reflection of his dedication and commitment over the years. His knowledge and experience have made a huge difference to this company as a whole and it’s been great working alongside him and sharing his passion for what he does.
On behalf of the company, Simon has been given a bottle of Champagne & a voucher to help celebrate with as he chooses.
Thank you again Simon for all you have accomplished over the past 25 years, and to a few more successful years ahead.

A MONOCHROME MASTERPIECE: A STRIKING KITCHEN TRANSFORMATION
When Dave decided it was time to refresh his kitchen, he knew exactly where to go.
A frequent visitor to Housing Units, he naturally gravitated towards the renowned Kitchen Design Centre showroom which is based on-site. The moment he stepped inside, he was captivated by the stunning displays, each one sparking fresh ideas for his own project.
It was here that Dave met designer Paul Harrington, whose creativity and expertise set the tone for the entire journey. From the outset, Dave was clear that he wanted a sleek, monochrome scheme. Paul took this vision and elevated it into an exceptional design that was perfect from the very first design—no alterations needed.
