You don’t have to live in a farmhouse to have your dream country kitchen. Whether you live in a new build complex, or small apartment in the city, it’s still easy to incorporate country kitchen flair into your home – especially when you have the experts at the Kitchen Design Centre on hand!
A warm, welcoming style characterises country kitchens. The traditional feel is very much different from the modern, minimalistic style of kitchen that has increased in popularity over the years. However, traditional doesn’t have to mean old fashioned or impractical. At the Kitchen Design Centre, our country inspired kitchens focus on natural materials, elegant colours and fine craftsmanship to create that create a warm and comfortable kitchen design you wish for. A space where guests will feel welcome and want to spend plenty of time.
One of the most obvious is of course natural wood finishings. From beech wood for a light look, to walnut for a darker feel; wood kitchens – as opposed to granite or high gloss – are a great way to achieve a country look. Whilst solid wood kitchens are expensive, there is also a more affordable option for those wanting to achieve the look for less – by using wood veneer rather than solid wood. Pine gets its own special consideration for country kitchen designs too. Its natural and rustic appearance makes it particularly well-suited for these type of kitchens.
Country colours are also important to keep in mind when designing your kitchen. Choosing the right colours to complement the wood (giving a layering effect) help to create that lived in, country style. Popular colours, which emulate the look, are sage green, creams, pale yellows or duck egg blues.
A country kitchen wouldn’t be complete without a kitchen island. If you have the space, a kitchen island can be a great way to maximise and use the space in your kitchen. It’s also a great focal point, drawing attention to the excellent craftsmanship of the wood and overall style of the kitchen. Adding a kitchen island into your country kitchen design gives the room a stylish, practical touch, combining both the old and the new.
Country style pattern and fabrics give the perfect finishing touch to a country kitchen. Think gingham, toile and plaid for your curtains, placemats or tablecloths.
The impact of kitchen flooring should never be underestimated. Opt for real stone tiles, like terracotta, travertine or slate, or for a more affordable option, choose vinyl tile-effect flooring.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER
As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

A CLASSIC SHAKER STYLE KITCHEN FOR A CHESHIRE
HOME
When Louise and Stuart renovated and extended their Wilmslow home they visited several local kitchen companies but were keen to get exactly what they wanted and researched companies with large showrooms located slightly further afield.
Kitchen Design Centre popped up on google and they were delighted to find that were open on a Sunday and that being located at Housing Units Failsworth, they were only a 20-minute drive away.
They were amazed by the showroom and how many full-size displays there were. They were equally impressed with Designer Paul Harrington who spent a great deal of time listening to what they wanted and going through various options and designs with them.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.
With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
