With more than 36 years of success behind us here at Kitchen Design Centre, we’ve always taken care to make sure that we’re adapting our designs to the newest trends, so that we can continue offering you the very latest styles, enhanced with cutting-edge appliances from the most prestigious world leading manufacturers. Swing by one of our designer kitchen showrooms, and you’ll see all that and more showcased in our displays. (In fact, they’ve gone on to inspire their fair share of customer kitchens!)
Recently, you might have spotted two brand new displays in our Barrowford and Manchester (Failsworth) showroom. If not, here’s what you can expect to find!
The new display at our Manchester showroom is a contemporary handleless kitchen, which is exactly what our customers know and love us for here at Kitchen Design Centre. It showcases the Systemat range by Hacker, one of the world’s most prestigious suppliers of German kitchens, and incorporates a mixture of graphite, Carrera white cabinets and okobo coffee brown cabinets, all subtly lit by channel handle lights to emphasise that contemporary feel.
It’s got an impressive range of appliances too, including Kombi microwave, and graphite Neff single oven. (We’re a Neff Master Partner here at Kitchen Design Centre.) It also features a hi-spec induction hob, and an intriguing new twist on a classic in the form of a black Quooker fusion tap.
And here’s something you may not have seen before – an 800mm-wide walk-in cabinet, deftly integrated into the design. In other words; essentially a secret door! If you want a unique wow factor for your kitchen, it doesn’t get much better than that.
Moving on to our Barrowford showroom, the entire display here is specifically designed to showcase the new concept130 range from Hacker, which has been newly launched for 2022. Its colour scheme prominently incorporates a shade of soft matte black, with a matching grey marble effect on the other units and the worktop. (Black and marble tones are both shaping up to be big design trends for 2022.) It’s also beautifully finished with an accent of summer oak.
As you can probably tell from a glance, our designers developed this display in response to the changing way in which we’ve all begun using our kitchens in the last few years. The rise in home working was a particular focus for us, so our concept130 display utilises a comfortable desk area, with a co-ordinated black Flexo-tap manufactured by Blanko.
What’s more, this display also includes another stunning appliance in the form of the Neff Glass Draft cooker – one of the latest innovations from this world-leading manufacturer. It’s a seamlessly integrated kitchen extractor that normally sits neatly in an enclosed recess in the worktop, and when activated, it rises smoothly up into a fixed position, using guided air technology to extract steam and colours from anywhere but the cooktop, so that you can leave your kitchen smelling just as fresh as it did before you began cooking.
The Neff Glass Draft cooker might be designed to effortlessly disappear, but it’s hardly surprising why it’s so often the centre of attention!
As the final cherry on a very contemporary-looking cake, our Barrowford display also has excellent eco-credentials as a carbon-neutral manufactured kitchen. Essentially, this means that all the carbon emissions normally involved in its manufacture have been offset by other means, so you can be sure that this black contemporary kitchen has never been… well, greener.
Like the look of these? Why not come pay them a visit in person at our Barrowford and Manchester designer kitchen showrooms, and our designers will be happy to answer any and all questions you might have about them. And of course if you’ve already formed some ideas about what you’d like for your dream kitchen, we’re here to help you turn them into reality. We’ve also got designer kitchen showrooms in Blackburn, Liverpool, and Urmston, Manchester – so wherever you’re based, you can always count on the same stunning service.
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!

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 XL Fridge Freezer

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.
