Quartz countertops are made from around 90% ground quartz, as well as a mixture of resins and pigments. It’s known for its exceptional hardness, which means quartz stands out as a highly resilient option compared to other countertops. It also comes in various shades and hues, adding to its versatility. It’s these features that make quartz such a popular material for sculptures, flooring, and, of course, kitchen worktops!

The smooth and sleek texture and colour of quartz give it a timeless appeal that continues to be popular in today’s design trends. From classic to modern interiors and everything in between, quartz worktops are still highly sought-after, adding a touch of sophistication and luxury to any kitchen.

Sleek and stylish

When it comes to quartz worktops, the first thing we have to talk about is their appearance. These worktops are not only functional but also incredibly beautiful, enabling quartz worktops to add a touch of elegance to any kitchen. Quartz has been around for thousands of years and is one of the most abundant materials on earth, having been cherished throughout history for its use in carvings and jewellery. This admiration for its sleek and stylish appearance has resulted in its adaptation for kitchen worktops.

Ideal cooking surface

Quartz is also an excellent surface for cooking and baking as well as being aesthetically appealing. Its naturally cool temperature makes it ideal for working with dough, whether that’s pizza, pie, or pastry, making quartz an ideal kitchen feature if you love to spend your time baking. The smooth coolness of the quartz surface allows for better control over your doughs and crusts, ensuring the perfect outcome on every bake.

Longevity and cleaning

Quartz adds a touch of classic charm and sophistication to your kitchen while being incredibly durable and long-lasting. Proper maintenance and care of your quartz worktops can ensure they remain in great condition for decades to come, ensuring you get more than your money’s worth!

Regular cleaning can help prevent stains and damage, and steering clear of harsh cleaning chemicals and abrasive materials can help maintain the surface’s natural glossy shine. With the right care, your quartz worktops can remain a statement piece in your kitchen for years.

And that’s just a brief overview of why our customers love quartz. This is by no means an exhaustive list; if anything, that’s just the tip of the iceberg – but we think you get the point! If you want to learn more about incorporating quartz worktops into your kitchen revamp, we’re more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Simply pop into one of our showrooms.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your kitchen this season, you’re in exactly the right place. Here are a few of our favourite design schemes for you to try out this Summer!

Monochrome

Monochrome style kitchens are characterised by a black-and-white colour scheme that can be broken up with injections of grey. This style utilises white surfaces and light grey cabinetry, countertops, and flooring for a clean and contemporary look. If you’re looking to introduce this modern design scheme to your kitchen space, consider black accents in fixtures, hardware, and appliances to create contrast and sophistication.

This timeless style makes a space feel larger and more open, which makes it a perfect choice for smaller kitchens. It also offers easy maintenance, and hides dirt and stains particularly well. Overall, it’s not hard to see why this popular kitchen style is so popular – it combines timeless elegance, versatility, and a serene atmosphere, with a practical and visually appealing design.

All of these features help Shaker style kitchens to provide a harmonious blend of simplicity, functionality, and enduring charm that can add value and style to any home.

The light and airy colour palette creates a sense of tranquillity and spaciousness, however its real popularity lies in its timeless appeal, functionality, and ability to make small spaces appear larger. Specifically, the use of natural materials and the muted colour scheme creates a sense of calm and openness that you don’t get from other designs. Overall, the Scandi style kitchen is perfect if you’re looking to create a harmonious and practical environment within your kitchen. The scheme promotes simplicity, efficiency, and a sense of well-being, making it a very popular choice with a lot of our customers.

The post 4 hot kitchen design trends for summer 2023 appeared first on Kitchen Design Centre.

As always, creativity has been at the very heart of our projects; whether that be smaller gallery kitchens or larger kitchen spaces that incorporate dining, living and entertainment areas. Whatever the space, the end results have been spectacular! Here’s a look at some of the incredible customer kitchens we’ve designed and installed in 2022:

A truly unique design is evident in An industrial Scandi Style Kitchen by designer John Crosby. The customer originally wanted a shaker style kitchen but John came up with a modern, handle-less design, incorporating raw materials throughout and complementing the original features in the room. Central to the design was an ‘L’ shaped island that works perfectly, filling the large space.

In contrast to this, Showroom Manager Simon Thomas created A Classic kitchen with Modern Elements: a stunning classic design with a predominantly traditional feel but incorporating modern elements throughout. Simon’s vision transformed the space as he reconfigured the entire room, knocking a wall down and opening up the kitchen to create a combined snug area.

A large space in a house in Hale, Cheshire called for a dramatic, grand design and designer Paul Harrington delivered with Design Brilliance: A striking contemporary design with one of the longest islands we’ve ever done. This kitchen also featured our unique Silver Star textured door which contrasted brilliantly with the white palette of the rest of the kitchen.

Designer Will Hustler created the perfect compact contemporary design for a kitchen in the Ribble Valley, opening up the space to create both formal and informal dining within the kitchen. It was a real transformation from the existing kitchen design but Will ensured a vibrant, contemporary feel with coloured lighting and created a much more practical space with more preparation area and storage.

The perfect kitchen, utility and boot room for a tractor shed was a unique project that called for expert design. Designer Suzanne Ryan stepped in and was faced with an agricultural building with half a roof, no door and missing walls when she first visited this dilapidated tractor shed. A great deal of vision was required and treating the space like a blank canvas, Suzanne created a stunning contemporary open plan living and dining area.

And of course, we can’t let a review of 2022 go without mentioning one of the highlights of our year: having our design skills recognised at the prestigious Northern Design Awards where we were finalists in the Kitchen Design Space category for this fabulous Dark Style Industrial Kitchen. Congratulations to Rowan Chick and the Urmston team. What a fantastic achievement.

New display in Barrowford

Led by showroom manager Simon Thomas, our talented designers have put their heads together to produce a beautifully sleek and modern contemporary kitchen design. This new display invokes a real sense of freshness with a white backdrop that’s subtly broken up by fantastic injections of dark, wooden features, as well as a set of luxuriously dark blue fabric chairs. This display comes complete with a classy wine cooler, rounded off by one of the latest innovations from this world-class manufacturer – the brand-new Neff Glass Draft Cooker Hood!

New displays in Blackburn

Our Blackburn showroom is the official new home of three new displays to provide the perfect inspiration for your new kitchen! The first of these displays is an intriguing design comprising of a beautiful taupe and basalt grey colour scheme, with tobacco oak panels, and finished off with gorgeous 20mm quartz Yarra worktops. This particular display features subtle additions of faux plants and ceramics to add layers of character to this luxurious scheme.

Or if you’re looking for something a bit different, our second display might be just up your street! This particular display builds an atmosphere around dark grey panel boards, anchored by a beautiful island which serves as both the cooking station and a stylish breakfast bar. This kitchen also features the latest in Neff’s range of quality kitchen appliances, as well as a welcoming wine fridge – which always makes for a fantastic conversation starter!

Our third display is a brand new Shaker inspired design, featuring a stunning Hampton ocean blue and crystal white island, Ontario oak panels and bar, and exquisite quartz Indus river worktops that are sure to leave an impression. It beautifully epitomises the reasons why Shaker kitchens are still such a highly sought-after option for homeowners up and down the country – and that enthusiasm shows no signs of abating.

Above all, it’s a design that focuses on flow, and helps to create a more functional living space – and one that we have more than 35 years of experience with here at Kitchen Design Centre. Whether you’re looking for a more versatile space that allows for both cooking and socialising, more freedom of movement between your kitchen and dining area, or you simply want a greater space to put a more personal touch on your kitchen design, our designers are here to help.

Why would an open-plan kitchen suit you?

When considering what an open-plan kitchen can offer, it’s important to keep in mind what you want from it. We design kitchens that are uniquely suited to you and your lifestyle, whatever that might entail. For example, if you’re a keen cook who enjoys whipping up a storm in your kitchen, we can offer specific styles that focus on practical elements like easily accessible appliances and plenty of counter space.

If you’re more of a social butterfly, we can provide you with a space that gives you a fantastic blend of open-plan practicality and social space, where you can enjoy the company of your friends and family. Perfect for dinner parties and Christmas get togethers!

The point is; the way you choose to use your kitchen will have a direct impact on its design. For example, our customers Sarah and Heath were in need of a contemporary family kitchen for a narrow space, so we gave them exactly what they needed to suit their busy, family orientated life.

Open-plan kitchens let in the light

Natural light is a key element when it comes to improving the brightness and feel of your designer kitchen, and open-plan designs are much better suited for taking advantage of this. By opting for an open-plan kitchen, you can really maximise the amount of natural light that flows through the space, giving it a more welcoming, breezy feel that’s sure to lift the mood of the room.

Why is this important? Well, we’ll spare you the detailed science lesson, but basically humans are daylight creatures. That means we’ve evolved to be happier, more energetic, and healthier in direct sunlight. It’s why small, windowless rooms can make us feel quite so uncomfortable, and equally it’s why natural light is such an important factor of your kitchen to ensure that you’re able to maximise your enjoyment of the space.

If your kitchen backs on to your garden for example, consider adding some sliding, or bi-fold doors to give you easy access to it. These doors add so much more light to your space that it’ll appear more roomy than it actually is. If roof lights are a practical option for your space, you may find them a great way to achieve the same effect.

They provide options for clever design possibilities

We understand that a small kitchen space can present challenges when it comes to having ample room for all your equipment, appliances and so on. Open-plan kitchens are all about making the most out of the space in your home. Here at Kitchen Design Centre, we do this by incorporating a range of clever design ideas like integrated appliances, and hidden storage, ultimately helping you make the most out of your designer kitchen.

We have plenty of open-plan designs for you to peruse in our customer case studies, where you’ll find kitchens with sleek, contemporary looks from things like handleless pull-out units, as well as integrated appliances like Neff multi-function ovens. These cutting-edge appliances possess a stunning versatility to match their intuitive controls, and our status as a Neff Master Partner means we’ve got a great depth of expertise when it comes to smoothly integrating it into your kitchen design.

The options are endless, and depending on your specific requests, we can tailor these design features into any kitchen style, so it’s completely up to you to decide what you’d like!

Open-plan kitchens utilise islands in a fantastic way

Open plan kitchens are perfect spaces for the much-coveted kitchen island. In an open-plan kitchen, the island plays a vital role in separating the kitchen from the living room, while also connecting the two spaces. It does this by creating a place for the cook to interact with the rest of the room, providing an engaging, social atmosphere.

Of course, you’ll need to keep in mind what you’ll spend the most time doing on your island! If it’s cooking, consider placing a hob on top of it. If you’re thinking of it as a cleaning space, maybe install a sink, or think about integrating a dishwasher. The balance between practicality and aesthetic pleasure is really what makes an open-plan kitchen worthwhile. For us, they’re the quintessential option for anyone who wants to create the perfect kitchen-diner combination.

With 35 years of experience behind us here at Kitchen Design Centre, our designers are passionate about helping you get the kitchen of your dreams. If you’re in need of some extra inspiration though – drop by our Blackburn kitchen showroom (or our other designer kitchen showrooms in Manchester or Barrowford) where you can sit down for a chat to let us know exactly what sort of requirements you have. We’re here to help!

The post Why choose an open-plan designer kitchen? appeared first on Kitchen Design Centre.

1. Pantone Colour of the Year

When it comes to talking about new trends, we’d be remiss not to mention Pantone’s colour choice for 2022. This year, the colour connoisseurs have selected Veri Perri as the shade we should all look out for. With undertones of red and violet, it’s somewhere between a mellow and lively blue, evoking creative thinking and joy for the year ahead.

2. Getting back to nature

Sustainability is a trend that’s been making its way into our homes over the past few years. As the general population become more eco-conscious, this is only set to rise. Keep your eyes peeled for more natural materials (wicker, natural stone, and wooden utensils will all be popular choices) and earth tones in the kitchen. Neutrals like beige, stone, and slate grey will be offset with emerald greens and dark blue. There’ll also continue to be a rise in the number of eco cleaning products and reusable solutions throughout the home.

3. Zoned open-plan spaces

Open plan living spaces have been increasingly popular on the designer kitchen scene. This year, there will be a greater focus on creating zoned areas in these spacious rooms. In terms of the kitchen, expect to see islands helping transition the living space to the cooking area, and design that focuses on flow. With plenty of people still working from home, places in the kitchen that can be used as a home office will also increase, with small zones a fold-out desk helping create a more functional living space.

4. Patterned floor tiles

If your kitchen floor is in need of a makeover, you might want to consider patterned floor tiles. This striking design feature is set to be all the rage in 2022. Use coloured tiles to brighten up your space or stick to a two-tone, neutral tile for a contemporary designer look. Full of character and confidence, a great floor tile can instantly lift a space.

5. Smart tech for smart homeowners

We have to give an honourable mention to smart technology. Though not a new trend, smart tech continues to be used across more and more kitchens across the country. From ambient lighting and heating that you can control on your phone to integrated surround sound AV systems, bring your home into the future with smart tech.

If you think your kitchen could do with a renovation this year, these trends are sure to spark your creativity! But they’re just the start. Get more inspiration by looking at our real customer kitchens online or pop into one of our showrooms in Blackburn, Liverpool, or Manchester to see our designs in person. Say hello to our team whilst you’re here and let them know of any way they can help. We look forward to seeing you!

The post The top 5 designer kitchen trends we want to see in 2022 appeared first on Kitchen Design Centre.

1. A super tough sink

It’s wise to focus on the areas you’ll use the most in your kitchen, especially those that will see lots of wear and tear. These are the spots to invest in, and no area sees more hard work than your kitchen sink. Blend beauty and function with a high-end sink that’s built to last and comes with several add-ons. Great sinks often have colanders, drying racks, and cutting boards that sit on the sink’s lip, making your life in the kitchen a lot easier.

2. Versatile lighting for a versatile space

The kitchen is a place to cook, and your design should first and foremost reflect that. One way to create a more functional space is by adding a variety of lighting for different purposes, covering every area. For example, a warm pendant light is ideal if you have a dining area, whilst bright spotlights are perfect for food preparation areas.

3. A modern kitchen island

If there’s a kitchen trend that’s creating a huge buzz in the world of design, it’s the kitchen island. Kitchen islands are a fantastic way to blend cooking and socialising, making your space more flexible. If you have an open-plan kitchen and living room, it’s also perfect for bridging the gap between the two and creating a seamless transition into either space. Entertain guests, mix drinks, and cook delicious home-cooked meals, all from one space.

4. High-quality cooking appliances

The aesthetics of your kitchen will always be a huge factor when planning a space. But, it’s important to remember that this is a room to cook in before anything else. For that to go as smoothly as possible, you need high-quality appliances. Invest in items you’re going to use frequently, like a reliable Neff oven that will cook your dishes perfectly and Quooker taps for boiling water on demand. The better your appliances, the more joy you’ll get out of cooking with them!

5. More storage than you think you’ll need!

You’ll always need more storage than you think you do. Add an extra cupboard and draw to your space, and you’ll thank yourself for it when wondering what to do with that new mixing bowl! Make sure you have plenty of different storage styles, including deep and shallow drawers and cupboards with varying shelves.

Creating designer kitchens isn’t always an easy task, but when you’re baking cakes or making your first coffee of the day in a space you love, it’s all worth it. At Kitchen Design Centre, we make planning beautiful kitchens easier. Take a quick look at our real customer kitchens, or pop into any of our showrooms in the North West, including in Blackburn, Manchester, and Liverpool, to see our award-winning kitchens for yourself, and our team will help you with any questions you may have.

The post The 5 must-have features every designer kitchen needs appeared first on Kitchen Design Centre.

1. Create a chalk-wall mural

Chalk walls are on-trend right now, creating a space in your kitchen that looks beautifully contemporary whilst still being practical. From writing shopping lists to creating dinner plans, you can do it all on a chalk wall. This Christmas, ditch the practical purposes and create a gorgeous festive mural. You may have to rope in the help of your most artistic family member or friend for a perfect finish. (We recommend mulled wine or chocolate coins as a festive bribe!)

2. Dress up your window to avoid clutter

Even kitchens where space is more of a premium can enjoy Christmas decorations without the clutter. All you need to do is look for spots that aren’t currently used, like your window. We love the aesthetic of some festive greenery along the top of the window, with some stylish hanging decorations or pinecones and berries as a finishing touch.

3. Use Fraser fir and white candlesticks

Fraser fir is iconically festive. Create a centrepiece on your kitchen island or kitchen table with an arrangement of this frosty greenery. Add white candlesticks for a fresh, wintery look with a more understated and chic Christmas feel.

4. Put your Christmas biscuits on display

There’s nothing like the smell of Christmas biscuits baking in the oven. The spicy scents of cinnamon and ginger fill the room with sweet, warm sugar, making for a very inviting space! After yours have baked, rather than putting them all away, arrange a selection on a wooden board for a homely, rustic aesthetic that’s undeniably festive. Biscuits in Christmassy shapes – like stars and trees – will earn you bonus festive points.

5. Create a festive scented bowl

Your kitchen is a place for cooking, and this bowl full of festive ingredients (and a few non-edible extras) will fit in seamlessly. Choose a bowl with a neutral design for a contemporary look and fill it with cinnamon sticks, baked orange slices, and roasted chestnuts. Add pinecones for an additional festive touch, and carefully arrange all of the components. Not only will this be a beautiful addition to your counter, but it’ll also fill your space with a beautifully Christmassy scent!

The kitchen is often the heart of a home, and decorating yours is a brilliant way to add some extra Christmas spirit! But, to make your space look truly amazing, you need to have the proper foundation. At Kitchen Design Centre, we can help you plan a beautiful kitchen that you’ll be proud to show off not just at Christmas but all year round. Take a peep at our real customer kitchens to see what we can do, or pop into one of our showrooms in Liverpool, Blackburn, or Manchester to see them for yourself. If you do come by, be sure to say hello to our team and let them know of any questions you have so they can help.

The post Our 5 favourite festive tips for your kitchen design in 2021 appeared first on Kitchen Design Centre.

A single statement piece, or the more the merrier?

If you’re illuminating a kitchen island, the first thing to consider is how many lights you want; one, or several? One large light is a popular choice for those wanting to make a bold statement, whilst multiple smaller lights can bring a more delicate look. They’ll still be a focal point of your space, but they’ll be less of a prominent centrepiece. If you have a large island, you may be able to have two, or even three, large pendant lights hanging at intervals, but if you want our advice, generally these larger statement lights work best on their own.

Size does matter

You need to consider the size of your kitchen when choosing the perfect style of light. In a kitchen where space is at more of a premium, a large statement light can become too overwhelming and actually make your room appear smaller. At the same time, too many small lights can seem cluttered and crowded, having the same effect. You need to ensure that the style you choose doesn’t take over your entire space, but instead compliments it. In larger kitchens, you’ll have more freedom with size, but you should consider how large your island is. A small island paired with a huge light can look off-balance!

Consider your style

If you have a rustic, English cottage inspired kitchen, an industrial string of lights will probably look a little out of place. This is why it’s so important to consider your style when choosing your light, ensuring it fits the current aesthetic of your space. Look at the colours you have in your kitchen to see if there’s any you could bring out by matching the tone on your light, and the style of your pendant lighting should be in-keeping with the rest of your space.

Make sure it measures up

Before installing your pendant lighting, ensure you’ve properly measured your space. Pinpoint the spot where your light will hang down from and how low it should hang. Ideally, the bottom of the light should be no closer than 30 inches to the island surface to prevent it getting in the way.

Choosing pendant lighting is an exciting task, but to achieve that stylish, contemporary look you have to be sure to get it right! For more lighting inspiration, feel free to look at our designer kitchens or pop into our designer kitchen showroom. Our designers will love to help you start to pick out a few options to show off your kitchen island!

A minimalist space to become the heart of the home

Our designer Jenna Roberts had a very clear brief for this particular kitchen – customers Katie and Graham wanted to transform their existing space into a much more open-plan area, something that flowed much better with the other rooms in the house. They wanted a space to entertain and have parties in, and according to Jenna, “Katie absolutely wanted something pink!”

Jenna’s finished design delivered all that and more. Katie thinks that the finished kitchen “looks incredible but works so well for us in a practical way”, and particularly highlighted Jenna’s attention to detail, such as the litter tray section for the couple’s cat. Take a look for yourself at this stunning blush kitchen with rose gold accents for a family home!

51 luxury kitchens for boutique property developer

In one of the most ambitious projects we’ve undertaken in our recent history at Kitchen Design Centre, we worked together with Candelisa Properties to supply and install 51 luxury fitted kitchens at a historic textile mill in Cononley. The team at Candelisa chose us for our ability to offer quality kitchens in a range of styles, as well as the level of our bespoke, personal design service for each of their clients.

Under the leadership of veteran designer Simon Thomas, Kitchen Design Centre’s kitchens exceeded Candelisa’s expectations, and they’ve now asked us to do an additional 41 kitchens for the individual houses they’ve built behind the mill! Take a closer look at how we’re working with an award-winning property developer.

A contemporary kitchen for a Georgian family home

Another ambitious project, we delivered this one for a family in Preston, who were renovating their dream Georgian home. Their brand new extension would house their new designer kitchen, which they wanted to be contemporary in look and feel in contrast to the rest of the building. For a project on this scale, the family needed a kitchen design company who were able to work closely with their architects and fitters, and our designers at Kitchen Design Centre were only too happy to oblige.

Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler managed the kitchen from start to finish, co-ordinating with external contractors and teams while adapting the design to accommodate various last-minute changes and additions. The family were thrilled with the final results – truly a kitchen fit for a grand design!

A clever design for a compact space

Our designer Rowan Chick found a highly creative solution for this family kitchen in Oldham, where space was at a premium for the new design. In terms of style, the couple wanted a contemporary style with muted tones, and also a kitchen that would accommodate a separate table, bulkhead and island.

To achieve this, Rowan presented a clever design that involved knocking a wall down to create a much larger space, which could house a huge variety of Neff appliances and functionality. One word in particular was used by both the customers and the designer to describe the finished kitchen – ‘delighted’!

Curious? Feel free to get your own design inspiration from this contemporary family kitchen for a narrow space!

A light and airy space for a barn kitchen

A notable contrast to Rowan’s design comes courtesy of our equally talented designer Maxine, who created a winning design for a beautiful barn kitchen. The customers Joanne and John renovated the front of their property with a glass extension to make the most of their stunning lake views. A brighter palate was chosen to keep the space light and airy, enhancing the natural light flooding in from the windows.

Joanne took plenty of inspiration from the beautiful displays in Kitchen Design Centre’s Barrowford showroom, and Maxine’s finished design incorporated Sparkling White Corian worktops, and a variety of high-tech Neff appliances to complement Joanne’s Aga cooker. “Everyone is absolutely blown way when they see the new kitchen,” says Joanne happily.

Those are just a few of our favourites, of course – maybe you’ve got one or two of your own! You can browse our full range of case studies right here on our website, or if you need any more design inspiration, feel free to visit any of our showrooms across the North West in Failsworth in Manchester, Urmston in Manchester, Blackburn, Barrowford, or Woolton in Liverpool.
