It’s no secret that here at Kitchen Design Centre, we love helping you bring your dream kitchen to life! Our designers take pride in creating unique, stunning kitchens that are a true reflection of you.
That makes the beginning of a new year particularly inspiring for our creative luxury designers, as new trends, colours, and styles will emerge within the industry. These new trends give us, and you, even more options to create the kitchen of your dreams!
Here are a few trends that have caught our eye so far in 2020…
In the world of kitchen design, grey is quickly becoming a popular choice for many families and designers. It’s no wonder – grey is a sophisticated and highly versatile colour!
Grey comes in a variety of shades, from almost white to nearly black, and every shade in between. You can mix-and-match light and dark colours to create visually appealing contrasts or to highlight specific areas of the room.
Plus, grey kitchens have the advantage of being able to handle bold accents, colourful art, and captivating sculptures! This is because grey creates a muted effect (like a blank canvas) and allows the colours or textures within the art work to brighten the room. If you need a little grey design inspiration, you can view our contemporary cutting-edge kitchen for a DJ.
Dark kitchen colours are set to be a big trend in 2020. We’ve even designed one for our stunning showroom in South Manchester.
Many colour palettes that are growing in popularity are black, dark grey or other dark colours (like blue or green). They’re great for helping to create dimension in the kitchen, to help prevent it from looking flat. We love creating dramatic dark coloured kitchens that, at the same time, feel inviting and warm.
If you love the idea of a dark kitchen but aren’t sure if it’s right for you, our modern industrial meets Scandi kitchen can serve as a bit of inspiration to help you decide!
Wood accents have always been a popular feature in modern and traditional kitchens in one form or another. We expect to complete more kitchens in 2020 with light or strong dark wood accents. The colour of the wood chosen will largely depend on what other elements and styles will be in the kitchen.
Often, wood accents are chosen to soften the space and to help give it a more natural look and feel. Plus, wood is a fantastic way to balance out colours, contrasts, and other textures in your kitchen.
This contemporary design kitchen provides a great example of how to blend darker cabinets, a light worktop with stunning wood accents.
Unique stone slabs form the basis of a design trend that makes your kitchen island look like a solid piece of stone. Often, stone-textured or patterned cabinets are combined with a matching worktop.
The unique stone could be anything from luxurious marble to industrial concrete. We’ve recently created a kitchen in striking monochrome style that has a textured island, which can give you a wonderful idea of what it could look like in your dream kitchen.
And if you need even more design inspiration, you can always visit one of our existing stunning showrooms across the North West in Manchester, Barrowford, and Blackburn.
All of our showrooms feature an enormous range of design styles, colours, and appliances to help inspire ideas for your dream kitchen. And of course, you can meet our design team who look forward to making your project a reality — book a FREE design consultation now!

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.
