We’re thrilled to announce that our team at Kitchen Design Centre were the recipients of not just one, but two awards at the Neff Master Partner Awards 2025. From our Manchester showroom, our designer Paul Harrington won the Best Kitchen Design under £30k, whereas our Barrowford designer Simon Thomas won Best Use of Island Solution. We are over the moon with the result here at Kitchen Design Centre, and hugely proud with the efforts of our talented team!
Paul’s award-winning entry is a stunning contemporary space in Matt Black UV Satin finish, giving it a highly distinctive and dramatic style. Its owners took care to highlight Paul’s attention to detail, especially the way he incorporated elements like the floating media wall, under-cabinet lighting and contrasting wood textures. He also took care to make the space particularly ergonomic, and the couple are thrilled with the kitchen’s high-tech Neff appliances.
See what you think of the finished design!
Simon’s winning design was a contemporary twist for a Yorkshire barn conversion. Rather than a rustic design, Simon decided on a fresh contemporary approach for the space, one that was strongly influenced by the natural character of timber. The island is one of the standout features of the finished kitchen, helping to maintain its overall flow, and it also serves as a functional cooking space in itself. What’s more, it’s an undeniably eye-catching element, and without question one of the most distinguishing features of the entire space.

The Neff Master Partner Awards is a prestigious annual event hosted by Neff, the world’s premier manufacturer of innovative kitchen appliances. The event is only open to companies that have been awarded the status of Neff Master Partner – elite retailers widely recognised for their expertise and intricate knowledge of Neff’s stunning range of kitchen appliances.
The exclusive nature of the event means that the standard of entries was exceptionally high, as the Awards bring together some of the most outstanding examples of kitchen design from the most talented designers in the UK. That makes Paul and Simon’s wins all the more impressive!
This year’s ceremony was held in the Fairmont Hotel, near Windsor, with a garden party / festival theme. The evening’s entertainment included an incredible display from trained acrobats, followed by the awards ceremony itself, hosted by Alex Jones from the One Show. Following the announcement of the winners, and a brief glimpse of their awe-inspiring designs, the attendees then unwound with a silent disco until late into the night.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we’re already looking forward to next year!

The kitchen details that make everyday life feel a little easier 🙌🏼
We positioned the dishwasher right beside the drawers where we keep our plates, bowls and cutlery, and honestly… it’s made unloading so much quicker!
It might seem like a small detail when planning your kitchen, but getting the layout right can make such a difference to how your kitchen works day to day.
One to remember if you’re planning a kitchen 👀

STUNNING TRANSFORMATION
Our clients chose Kitchen Design Centre because they wanted a dedicated expert to lead the way, rather than a mere supplier of parts
They required a team to guide them from the first spark of an idea to the final finishing touches.
The brief presented a unique challenge – transforming a blank-canvas garage into a space that celebrated the charm of a traditional barn conversion. The room, featuring expansive wooden beams, demanded a thoughtful design.
More than just a kitchen, the clients required a family-oriented living hub with a dining area tailored for entertaining.
Working with Simon, the Manager at our Barrowford showroom, provided total peace of mind. He spent time listening and meticulously exploring various layouts until the vision felt just right.
The result is a traditionally-styled kitchen filled with modern gadgets. The breathtaking Dark Blue Shaker cabinetry serves as a bold anchor, paired with light-toned units to accentuate the warmth of the timber beams and flooring.
