Here’s something you might have missed – people are increasingly looking for unique and creative ways to introduce an office workspace to their designer kitchens. We’re all for it here at Kitchen Design Centre, and we’ve got more than 35 years of experience creating versatile and personalised kitchen spaces to suit any style and need. So, we’ve put together a few ideas to help you seamlessly integrate your office into your designer kitchen.
You can start by tapping into any unused corners in your kitchen to create a delightfully seamless look. How? Well it’s worth considering adding office features that fit in with your current kitchen style. Our expert designers can do just that, by utilising your already beautiful kitchen worktops as a desk, while integrating units of a similar look and feel to achieve a flawless pairing of kitchen and office elements.
Consider using your deep pan cupboards as a storage point for large office equipment like a printer, as this will allow you more worktop room to play around with. Or you might even want to think about adding something as simple as a suspended unit with a stool, and some artwork to make a feature out of your cosy office space.
Why not integrate a few smart storage solutions? These can be a great way to reorganise your current kitchen layout so you can make way for office equipment, while also serving as a good excuse to have a proper clear-out of any old or unnecessary items. For example, why not use a muffin tray or a cutlery insert as a stationary organiser?
One of the latest trends for 2022 has been the introduction of hide-away workstations. These can be fitted seamlessly into your kitchen top or island, and provide a really clever way of creating a modern minimalist look that we just adore. As well as being a great way of creating an office space, they also provide the fastest way to hide kitchen clutter whenever you have unexpected guests. Perfect for providing more space on your kitchen tops!
Another consideration that you need to keep in mind is how you choose to light this new hybrid space. We’d recommend setting up your workspace in an area that’s close to the window, so you can benefit from the natural light as much as possible.
Short on kitchen space? No problem, our designers are more than happy to help you come up with clever ideas to double up your dining table, or kitchen island as a desk. Keep in mind though that you will need plenty of leg room in order for this to be a comfortable solution. As a general rule of thumb – for a dining table you’ll need about 40cm of leg room, and for an island (at conventional worktop height) you’ll only need 25cm to 30cm of leg room.
We love an island here at Kitchen Design Centre. They play a vital role in separating the kitchen from the living room, while also connecting the two spaces. They create a place for both practical use and social interaction, making them the perfect spot for an extended office space. As a side note, consider having plenty of plug sockets installed so you’ve got plenty of charging options for your equipment. You don’t want to run out of juice while on the job!
We love the fact that so many people are choosing to combine their kitchen and office space. It presents a unique challenge for our expert designers, who are more than happy to tackle it head on. We’re passionate about helping you get the kitchen of your dreams. If you’re in need of some extra inspiration though – drop by our Blackburn kitchen showroom (or our other designer kitchen showrooms in Liverpool, Manchester or Barrowford) where you can pop in for a chat and let us know exactly what sort of requirements you have. We’re here to help!

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.
