At Kitchen Design Centre, our designers stay at the forefront of kitchen design, with more than 35 years of history and expertise. What’s more, amongst our nationally recognised accreditations, we’ve been awarded the prestigious status of Neff Supreme Master Partner, by innovative kitchen appliance experts Neff – making us a flagship company for the largest built-in appliance brand in the UK! So it’s safe to say we know our stuff when it comes to building stunning smart kitchens. If you’re unfamiliar with smart kitchens, let us introduce you to the future of kitchen design!
When you think about smart devices, the first thing you probably think of is your smartphone or even your smart TV, but there’s a newcomer on the block, and this trend is on an upward trajectory in the world of interior design, and that’s the smart kitchen.
A smart kitchen is one that’s equipped with the latest cutting-edge developments in kitchen appliance technology to streamline cooking and make it even more enjoyable! But what makes a smart appliance, well, “smart”?
Essentially, smart appliances are designed to handle tasks that would typically require human intervention, which means they’re brilliant at saving time and energy. Many are equipped with sensors to monitor the cooking process and ensure optimal cooking temperature. They can also connect to the internet, and be paired with Bluetooth-enabled devices.. Most importantly, they’re energy-efficient and customisable, allowing the user to personalise many of their settings. Obviously, this depends on which smart applications you choose, but overall, their potential is truly remarkable!
Smart appliances can range from anything from hobs, to coffee machines to ovens and beyond, and we have some of the very best on the market on display at our showrooms in Barrowford, Blackburn, Failsworth – Manchester, Urmston – Manchester, and Woolton, Liverpool.
An excellent example of a smart appliance you’d find if you paid us a visit is the Neff Slide & Hide Oven, which is designed to be efficient and easy to use. Those qualities, together with its highly sophisticated aesthetics, make it the perfect fit for any designer kitchen. The oven’s innovative Slide & Hide door smoothly glides and disappears under the oven, allowing for easy access and more space in front of the oven. Its state-of-the-art cooking technology ensures precise and even cooking results, while the sleek design adds a touch of elegance to any modern kitchen.
Another great example is the Neff One Touch coffee machine. This cutting-edge coffee machine is the perfect addition to any caffeine lover’s kitchen, bringing barista-quality coffee straight to your home. Its impressive range of features includes an easy-to-use TFT display with an interactive menu, making it a breeze to navigate its impressive features. You can save settings for up to eight of your favourite coffees, each with personalised names and adjustable milk and espresso ratios – so you can have it make your favourite coffee with just ‘One Touch’!
Based on what you envision for your kitchen combined with your lifestyle, culinary preferences, and dining habits, we can curate a perfectly personalised design that matches your style and recommend to you the smart appliances we think you’ll love.
The appliances aren’t the only innovative technology we have in the building; with our advanced computer-aided design tech, we can show you a realistic portrayal of your finished kitchen and layout using a 3D representation so you can take a peek before we even begin!
Smart technology is the future of kitchen design, and these highly integrated devices appear more frequently in every space we create for our clients.

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.
