The beginning of February saw the installation of one of our latest designs at the Manchester Kitchen Design Centre Showroom. The design, which has got all our customers talking, is perhaps one of our most dramatic yet…
While the design itself features many of the popular design ideas trending for today’s kitchen, its colour scheme sets it apart. Emma Holmes, the designer behind the kitchen, opted for pearl grey and designer white for a dramatic monochromatic look. The Hacker cabinets featured putty concrete pearl grey textured doors, matched with laminate worktops in the same colour. Designer white Corian worktops were also introduced into the design offering a change in texture and colour.
To match the on-trend grey colour scheme, Emma opted for fitted Neff appliances in black / grey /silver. Her chosen cooking appliances included the Neff single oven pyrolytic, compact oven with microwave, flexi induction hob, gas domino wok hob and warming drawer. Together, the whole suite of appliances offers the benefit of being stylish and practical – with stand out features including the self-cleaning oven. Other must-have appliances, also featured in the design, included Neff’s large fridge, freezer, integrated washer and the Blanco Culina-S spray tap.
While colour alone is often enough for creating a dramatic design, lighting can play a key role too. To create the designer look she was after, Emma worked in LED lighting within the channel handle for an atmospheric and impressive finish.
As well as choosing a modern colour scheme and appliances, Emma was keen to represent the key trends in modern kitchen design. To do this, she choose handleless cabinets for a sleek, effective and grown-up design. This was complemented by her minimalist choice of cooker hood – the downdraft extractor, which remains out of sight when not in use.
Emma also made sure to include family entertainment portals in the room too, with an integrated Bluetooth sound system. This feature, in particular, is becoming very popular amongst our clients looking for a more sociable, family-friendly kitchen space.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
