As the season changes, so do the design trends, and this autumn, we’re excited to showcase brand-new kitchen displays across all five of our showrooms. Whether you’re looking for modern sophistication, traditional charm, or bold contemporary styles, we’ve got the perfect display to inspire your dream kitchen space.
Today, we’re exploring each showroom’s brand-new display, highlighting the defining features, standout appliances, and design trends shaping the heart of the home this season. So, if you’re looking for kitchen inspiration, you’re in the right place!

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.
Standout appliances:

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!
Standout appliances:

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:

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.
Standout appliances:

Located within Housing Units, our Failsworth display is designed to make a bold statement. This standout kitchen features sleek, lacquered black doors from our AV600 range, offering a refined, satin-matt finish that exudes modern elegance. To create an even more dramatic contrast, we’ve paired the black doors with a striking, bespoke burnt orange door from our NCS-painted range. This vibrant splash of colour gives the display a tangible sense of extra warmth and personality, creating a unique, contemporary design that feels both luxurious and dynamic.
We’ve used two different worktops to add further depth to the design. The 20mm Dekton Laurent features a waterfall leg, while the 50mm Corian Glacier White provides a striking contrast with its own waterfall leg. This combination of materials offers both durability and visual interest, perfect for a high-impact kitchen.
Standout appliances:
Whether you’re drawn to the modern elegance of our Urmston showroom, the timeless charm of Liverpool, or the striking contrasts in Failsworth, each of our branches offers a unique blend of style, functionality and state-of-the-art appliances to inspire your kitchen dream kitchen.

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.
