We take pride in staying at the cutting edge of contemporary kitchen design here at Kitchen Design Centre, and we put a lot of time and effort into making sure our showrooms are fantastic places to gain inspiration for your own dream kitchen. Recently, we’ve unveiled several brand new displays in our award-winning designer kitchen showrooms in Blackburn and Manchester, created by our very own designers. If you’re thinking about booking an appointment, here’s a bit about what you can expect!
First up are our displays in our Manchester showroom, created by our talented designer Paul Harrington. The first display is modern traditional; an eclectic mix of the two most popular kitchen design styles. One of the most striking features of this kitchen is the contrast between the Laser Soft white door on the kitchen island with the darker shade of Bristol Blue Velvet on the doors of the taller units. Meanwhile, the dark, rich hue of Toronto Cognac on the centralised breakfast bar and sink run adds a lovely feeling of texture and warmth, beautifully complementing the Marrakech panel and Calcutta Quartz white stone worktop.
Our second display is designed in a more contemporary style. A mix of grey tones and dark pine adds texture while providing the ideal surround for the Laser Soft white sliding wall units, which themselves make a particularly striking statement feature. Meanwhile, the Cemento Spa Suede Silestone (with a lava grey channel handle feature) is the perfect complement to the sleek, clean look of the Everest Corian worktop which zones the cooking and hosting area. Both kitchens are outfitted with a powerful array of kitchen appliances from leading supplier Neff, with the modern traditional kitchen even featuring a limited edition Faber Lybra extractor.
Our displays in our Blackburn showroom are equally making quite the impression on our customers already, especially our newest style in putty concrete graphite. The high-gloss lacquer blue walls embody one of this display’s standout features, offsetting the distinctive brick feature wall and white marble effect of the quartz worktops. The tall bank island and integrated bar provide a handy seating area, which would normally be used for dining. Here at Kitchen Design Centre, we actually use it as a presentation area, using the television to show clients how we plan to bring their dream kitchens to life!
Our second display in Blackburn (a modern kitchen with handles) might well be familiar to some customers already, and we’ve given it a fresh lease of life with a colour scheme in sophisticated Taupe. The ever-popular breakfast bar is one of its defining features, surrounded by expansive larder cupboards. A new range of Neff appliances includes a Neff wine cooler – always popular amongst our customers! – which joins an American fridge freezer to round off the kitchen’s aesthetics with a flawless functionality.
Of course, as with everything in our designer kitchen showrooms, they’re here to give you just a taste of what we can achieve for your dream kitchen! Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your own vision, or you’re looking for experienced designers to help you finalise your ideas, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for here at Kitchen Design Centre. Why not pop into your nearest local showroom in Blackburn, Manchester or Barrowford, and sit down with one of our designers to see how we can help?
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!
Standout appliances:
Neff N90 Ovens with premium 6.8” touch screen display and Twist Pad Flex control

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!

Neff Collection Oven
Neff XL Fridge Freezer
Quooker Classic Fusion Tap

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.
