As we enter 2025, we reflect on an incredible 2024 at Kitchen Design Centre! This year, we’ve transformed countless homes with stunning kitchen designs, embraced bold trends, and revamped our showrooms with exciting new displays. From classic charm to cutting-edge modernity, here’s a roundup of our most exciting projects and trends that shaped the year.
Sleek, contemporary kitchens were at the forefront of design this year, with standout projects that exemplify sophistication and style:
This dramatic dark kitchen, designed by Rowan Chick, featured a reverse shark nose edge detail, statement shelving, and bold orange stools for contrast. The inclusion of Walnut added warmth, while the overall design combined practicality with undeniable wow factor.
Chris Lunt, Manager of our Woolton showroom, created a stunning contemporary kitchen for this Liverpool home using pearl grey putty concrete and opal grey finishes to complement the home’s aesthetic. At the heart of the design was a large island, fulfilling the customer’s vision of an open, functional, and visually striking space.
Traditional kitchens continued to be a favourite this year, as showcased by two stunning projects in Cheshire:
After moving house, Gordon and Sabrina returned to Kitchen Design Centre to recreate the Shaker kitchen they loved so much from their previous home. Designer Paul Harrington delivered once again. “We loved our first kitchen so much that going back to Paul for a similar design was a no-brainer. It looks fantastic, and we’re delighted once again.”
Opting for a handleless Shaker design, Paul and Louise chose Hampton Pearl Grey cabinetry with a contrasting Hampton Velvet Blue island. Their vision of a timeless, elegant kitchen came to life after struggling to find the perfect style with other kitchen companies.
One standout project blended tradition with modern flair. For a barn conversion in Yorkshire, Simon Thomas, Barrowford Showroom Manager, broke the mould with a fresh, contemporary approach. Moving away from typical country aesthetics, the design featured a pantry cupboard and a bespoke drinks room—an ideal marriage of classic and modern elements.
One trend that dominated in 2024 was the use of wood in kitchen designs, with Walnut emerging as a top choice.
Designer Paul Harrington convinced Gemma and Paul to embrace Walnut in their contemporary black kitchen. “If someone had told me I’d choose a black and Walnut kitchen, I wouldn’t have believed them,” said Gemma. “But I absolutely love it and am so glad we trusted Paul’s suggestion.”
Sandra and Dave incorporated Walnut throughout their contemporary graphite kitchen, combining Walnut elements with the dark tones throughout to soften the look and provide texture.
As we look to 2025, we remain inspired to provide the very best kitchen designs . Whether it’s blending traditional charm with modern twists or pushing boundaries with bold contemporary designs, Kitchen Design Centre continues to deliver exceptional results and kitchens that are practical and perfect for everyday use.

A STUNNING CLASSICAL KITCHEN FOR A LUXURY APARTMENT
When Karen and Peter downsized from their farm, they opted for a luxurious apartment in a historic hall in Holmfirth, Yorkshire. For their dream kitchen, they turned to Lauren Couperthwaite at Kitchen Design Centre, Housing Units, Failsworth.
Initially considering a local bespoke kitchen company, Karen found they couldn’t match the extensive product range and expert design skills of Kitchen Design Centre.
The brief was to celebrate the apartment’s grand architectural features—high ceilings, natural light, and intricate coving—while crafting a kitchen that blended seamlessly with the home’s traditional aesthetic. Lauren’s choice of a pale sage green ash-effect eucalyptus finish brought timeless charm, perfectly paired with classic handles.

This year, the kitchen will take on even more significance in home design. It’s now more than just a place for meals; it’s a space that reflects your tastes and individuality, much like your living room, and so it deserves the same forethought and planning. With bespoke kitchens on the rise in 2025, we’ve found that lots of customers are moving away from generic designs and one-size-fits-all solutions in favour of kitchens that cater to their unique needs, personalities, and lifestyles.
Whether you’re designing a space for a large family, a multifunctional area to work and eat, or simply a stylish place to enjoy your meals, a bespoke kitchen offers the perfect blend of style and function, so that your dream kitchen is everything you need it to be and more.

Another busy day yesterday for Simon at our Barrowford showroom. Starting off with a photo shoot - here’s a sneak peek! How cute was the company too. Their cat was helping Mark out get the shots right.
