More and more families are opting for open plan kitchens in their homes. This style of kitchen can work beautifully in many houses, and frequently combines spaces for cooking, dining, and relaxation. At Kitchen Design Centre, we’re experts in designing and building stunning open plan designer kitchens for our customers across the North West.
Today we’re featuring a range of ideas for open plan kitchens, and looking back at some of our beautiful customer kitchens to inspire you.
If you would like a generous open plan kitchen, but think there’s not enough space in your house, why not consider moving your kitchen to another, more spacious room? Another option is “knocking through” two or more rooms to create your ideal open plan space.
This may sound drastic, but it needn’t be. Remember: an open plan kitchen can combine the functions of several rooms in a traditional home. Visualising how a new kitchen will look can be difficult, however- and that’s where the experts at the Kitchen Design Centre can help you.
Mark and Jane Hudson were renovating their 200-year-old cottage but weren’t sure exactly what they wanted for the kitchen. They decided after visiting our showroom that our innovative design ideas were ideal for them.
A free design visit helped to give them a clear idea of the possibilities, and they chose to knock through two rooms and install beautiful tri-fold patio doors, creating a light and open space. Their luxurious open plan kitchen is cutting edge, and was delivered mostly while they were away on holiday!
Open plan kitchens can be multifunctional, so it’s important to plan your room with clear areas for each activity to avoid a messy look.
Melvyn and Lorraine Allsop created their luxurious German-style kitchen by knocking together three rooms. With the help of our talented team at Kitchen Design Centre, their light and airy new room has defined space for food preparation, with integrated appliances and high gloss units.
A long island with a breakfast bar is a smart yet relaxed dining area, concealing useful extra storage. At one end of the room a relaxed living area can be found, with a comfy sofa and wall mounted television. It all adds up to a design with flow, and without confusion.
You can help to create a modern and streamlined effect by integrating the appliances in your kitchen. Kitchen Design Centre is a Neff Master Partner, which means that we’re a flagship company for world-renowned designer appliance manufacturers Neff, so you can be sure all our gorgeous kitchen appliances are top quality.
For Stuart and Barbara Farquhar, it was especially important that the sleek look of their new open plan kitchen wasn’t compromised. Space was limited, so our designer had to be creative in where and how appliances were fitted, including a purpose built dresser concealing the washing machine! Their stunning designer kitchen features all the latest Neff appliances, including a warming drawer and built-in microwave.
At Kitchen Design Centre, we are true kitchen specialists- designing and delivering kitchens is all we do, so we know our stuff!
We’re the best place to come to for open plan designer kitchens across the North West: we’ve got beautifully appointed and easy-to-reach kitchen showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn and Colne.
We thrive on making our customers’ ideas come to life, so why not come to one of our showrooms or book a free design visit to discuss your needs?

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.
