Raise the bar at home – discover design beyond the kitchen

You probably know us best for our luxury kitchens. We’ve been designing them for homes across the North West since 1985, and we still love seeing a customer’s excitement when their ideas start coming together. Did you know that’s not all we can do?

When you book a free design appointment, we’d love to hear your ideas for the spaces beyond your kitchen, too. It’s a chance to talk about how you live, what you enjoy and what you’d love to make room for. With over 40 years of experience, our award-winning designers have plenty of suggestions to share. Here’s a closer look at what we can create together.

Bespoke utility rooms that earn their keep

The utility room has a lot to look after, from the weekly washing to cleaning supplies and all those household essentials that need somewhere to go. You’ll know what you wish you had more room for, whether that’s folding laundry or putting the ironing board away without rearranging a cupboard first. Planning your utility alongside your new kitchen gives us the chance to understand those everyday routines and design a space that works for you.

Our designers can help with fitted cabinetry, practical worktops and storage planned around what you need to keep there. A generous separate room offers plenty of possibilities, but there’s a great deal we can do with a compact space, too. We’ll help you choose finishes that complement your kitchen and give your utility the same attention to detail. It may be a room for getting things done, but there’s every reason to enjoy how it looks and feels.

For the hosts, the collectors and the wine lovers

If it’s your house that friends and family always seem to gather at, you’re well known for your hosting skills or you have a particular appreciation for perfectly aged whiskies, a bespoke drinks bar could be a fantastic addition to your home. Perhaps you’re something of a wine aficionado and would love to make your collection part of the design. That’s the pleasure of having a kitchen designed around you: there’s room for the things you love, your interests and the way you like to spend your time.

Tell us what you have in mind, and our designers can help you explore the possibilities. From wine storage and an under-counter fridge to statement shelving and integrated lighting, we can bring those personal touches into your kitchen or create a dedicated bar in your dining or living space. We’ll guide you through the cabinetry, colours and finishes to create somewhere you’ll be proud to welcome guests and enjoy just as much on a quiet evening at home.

Feature shelving for the things you love

We all have things we love that spend too much time tucked away in cupboards. Favourite glasses, crockery collected over the years or a piece that always gets a compliment when it comes out. Feature shelving or a bespoke dresser gives you somewhere to enjoy them every day. Tell us what you’d like to display, and we can plan the space around it, with cupboards for the things you’d prefer to keep out of sight.

You might already have your eye on a glazed dresser, or prefer open shelves filled with books, photographs and a few favourite pieces. Our designers can help you choose the finishes, handles and lighting that bring it all together. We’ve worked with all sorts of homes and styles over the years, so we’ll have plenty of ideas to share, whether you want to match your kitchen or try something a little different.

Fitted TV areas that bring the room together

If you’re planning an open-plan kitchen, there’s plenty we can help you with beyond the cooking and dining areas. A fitted TV area is the perfect way to carry your ideas through into the living space, with furniture made to suit your home. It’s a chance to give the spot where you settle down for the evening just as much attention as your new kitchen.

Think shelving for your favourite books and photographs, cupboards to tuck away everyday clutter and a place for the television that feels part of the room. Our designers can help you explore colours and finishes that complement your kitchen, drawing on their experience to get the proportions and storage right.

Pantries and larders with a place for everything

If a pantry has been on your kitchen wish list for a while, we’d love to help you explore the possibilities! From your favourite ingredients to the small appliances you use every day, a well-planned pantry or larder gives you somewhere to keep everything organised and easy to find. There’s a lot to enjoy about having a good look at what’s in the cupboards without having to empty half of them first.

Maybe you’ve been picturing a walk-in pantry, or you’d love a fitted larder with pull-out shelves and internal drawers. Our designers know Häcker’s cabinetry and storage options inside out and can help you find an approach that makes the most of your kitchen. Come and try the storage in one of our showrooms, open the drawers and tell us what you’d like to fit in yours. We’re always happy to talk through the details!

Our kitchen expertise goes further than you might think

With over 40 years of experience, we still love helping customers see their homes in a new light. You might come to us dreaming of somewhere to entertain, wishing for more storage or wondering how to bring an open-plan space together. Our designers will listen, explore your ideas and share suggestions you might never have thought of. It’s one of the most enjoyable parts of what we do: seeing you get excited about what your home could become!

Our award-winning designers know our products and materials inside out, so you’ll have plenty of expertise to draw on as you choose what’s right for you. Your dedicated kitchen designer is also your project manager, looking after your project from the first conversation through to completion. You’ll have a familiar face to turn to, someone who shares your enthusiasm and takes pride in getting the details right.
