Spotlight on our designer kitchens in Manchester

You may already know that at Kitchen Design Centre, we’ve got kitchen showrooms across the North West, in Blackburn, Manchester and Barrowford. Our kitchen showroom in Manchester is amongst our longest-serving locations, home to a wonderful team of talented designers who’ve produced some truly fantastic contemporary kitchens in Manchester itself, as well as the surrounding area. This week, we’re taking a closer look at just a few of our previous success stories!

Modern Chic Kitchen Style

Style:

  • Chic and timeless contemporary design

Story:

Before they stopped by our Manchester showroom, Mr and Mrs Killeen had been working hard to renovate their Oldham home to bring it into the 21st century. Eventually they set their sights on the kitchen, which they wanted to be carefully updated with a style and effortless functionality that matched the rest of their home. Our designer was only too happy to help, designing a truly stunning space in a chic grey and white colour palette.

One of the key requirements for Mr and Mrs Killeen was to transform the kitchen into a true social space. Our designer responded with features such as a built-in wine cabinet drinks area, and plenty of fantastic mood lighting across the space. She also added mirror splashbacks, which reflect the light to make it look even bigger and brighter – perfect for parties and social soirees!

Central feature:

  • Beautiful mood and feature lighting above a floating breakfast bar, in 40mm Silver Oak

The Cashmere Touch

Style:

  • Elegant, modern German design

Story:

Having increased their space due to a recent garage conversion, Mr and Mrs O’Doherty spent twelve whole months looking at various options from local companies. Finally, they met John Crosby at our Manchester designer kitchen showroom, where he discussed plans for an amazing German kitchen that suited them right down to the ground. What the O’Dohertys loved most about it was that they felt it made the most effective use of the increased space. What’s more, they loved the way that John made sure the cashmere colour scheme of his design fitted seamlessly with style of the rest of the house.

Central feature:

  • A long central island for additional food preparation space, as well as extra space for storage

Size Matters

Style:

  • Sleek, modern design

Story:

For years, Mr and Mrs McGowan’s kitchen was a tall, slimline galley space. Though they have their advantages in some ways, at Kitchen Design Centre we find that most of us usually prefer a bit of breathing space! So when the McGowans moved into a new home, with a brand new kitchen, that’s exactly what they were after: space. Happily, John Crosby – at our designer kitchen showroom in Manchester – was on hand to help!

Once he’d assessed the space and had a detailed discussion with the McGowans about exactly what they wanted from their new kitchen, he created a design that incorporated the couple’s conservatory, to bring in plenty of natural light. He also recommended laser soft basalt grey and antique white cabinets, to prevent a beautifully clean colour scheme from becoming too clinical. The McGowans loved the results!

Central feature:

  • 80mm breakfast bar between the kitchen peninsula and island

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.
