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 KITCHEN AND LIVING SPACE REIMAGINED FOR A RIBBLE VALLEY HOME
Paulo and Debbie first discovered Kitchen Design Centre back in 2013 when they created their dream kitchen—and they loved it so much that, years later, they returned once more.
This time, it was for a brand-new kitchen, utility room, games room and garage storage area as part of a major renovation to their family home.
Inspired by a stunning display in the Barrowford showroom, Paulo and Debbie teamed up with Barrowford Showroom Manager, Simon Thomas. With over 25 years of experience, Simon was the perfect person to take on their new brief—one that pushed boundaries and called for creativity in a limited space.
Debbie, inspired by Pinterest, envisioned a kitchen with rich walnut tones. Simon brought this to life with a sophisticated, contemporary design that cleverly created the feeling of a large island in a narrow room, proving that great design isn’t about space—it’s about smart solutions. He did this by linking the island to one wall to create the perfect cooking centre with all the focus in to the room.
“Simon was incredible. We loved the kitchen so much that we asked him to turn his attention to the majority of our downstairs. The whole area now has real wow factor—and it’s incredibly practical too. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

A SLEEK, HIGH-END CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN FOR A MANCHESTER HOME
When renovating their Worsley home, Kim and Paul knew exactly who to trust with their dream kitchen — Kitchen Design Centre.
A Sleek, High-End Contemporary Kitchen for a Manchester Home
Having worked with them four years ago in their previous home, they were so thrilled with the result that choosing them again was an easy decision.
Visiting the Urmston showroom, they were immediately inspired by the stunning displays and enlisted designer Rowan Chick to create a sleek yet functional space. They envisioned a monochrome palette to complement the ultra-modern aesthetic of their new home — a striking contrast to their previous more traditional navy and taupe kitchen.
