When designing a kitchen, there are so many elements to keep in mind. It’s not just appliances, furnishings and colour schemes you need to think about – the materials used are critical too. By combining different materials you can achieve truly bespoke kitchen design; a space that’s simple and sophisticated yet highly personalised.
If you’re looking for a contemporary, designer-inspired kitchen, you’ll love this combination. While Corian and high gloss are both modern in style they come together perfectly in contemporary kitchens. Offering a sleek design and finish, Corian and high gloss kitchens work best in complementary colours like bright whites and soft greys.
Take a look at this stylish kitchen renovation to see how these fantastic materials come together.
Traditional kitchens are still a popular option and can be combined with modern materials for an up-to-date twist. Natural wood cupboards and furnishings can be teamed with stainless steel accessories and appliances for a stunning, on-trend finish.
In this traditional kitchen, designed for the Lockett family, our designer combined various natural materials with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances. Mirrored light shades were added too, as well as a mirror between the units for a timeless and practical finish.
High gloss is a great material choice for a modern kitchen but can look a little bit clinical on its own. To tone it down, we recommend teaming shiny high gloss furnishings with natural materials like oak. Natural materials help add depth to a high gloss kitchen. And whether you choose an oak table, oak cupboard rims or an oak floor – it’s completely up to you.
In this chic high gloss customer kitchen, we introduced silk grey oak to create contrast and depth throughout the kitchen space. Silver grey oak was used for the dining table, breakfast bar and a feature panel to complement the high gloss units.
Feeling all inspired? If these stylish combinations have got you in the mood for a new kitchen space, take a look at our designer kitchens. Whether you’re looking for something contemporary or a kitchen that’s more traditional in style, we’ve got the perfect design waiting for you.

The kitchen details that make everyday life feel a little easier 🙌🏼
We positioned the dishwasher right beside the drawers where we keep our plates, bowls and cutlery, and honestly… it’s made unloading so much quicker!
It might seem like a small detail when planning your kitchen, but getting the layout right can make such a difference to how your kitchen works day to day.
One to remember if you’re planning a kitchen 👀

STUNNING TRANSFORMATION
Our clients chose Kitchen Design Centre because they wanted a dedicated expert to lead the way, rather than a mere supplier of parts
They required a team to guide them from the first spark of an idea to the final finishing touches.
The brief presented a unique challenge – transforming a blank-canvas garage into a space that celebrated the charm of a traditional barn conversion. The room, featuring expansive wooden beams, demanded a thoughtful design.
More than just a kitchen, the clients required a family-oriented living hub with a dining area tailored for entertaining.
Working with Simon, the Manager at our Barrowford showroom, provided total peace of mind. He spent time listening and meticulously exploring various layouts until the vision felt just right.
The result is a traditionally-styled kitchen filled with modern gadgets. The breathtaking Dark Blue Shaker cabinetry serves as a bold anchor, paired with light-toned units to accentuate the warmth of the timber beams and flooring.
