Jonathan and Victoria Bullock desperately necessary to revamp their old kitchen to make it suitable for modern family life.
 
The couple\'s home is a substantial barn conversion from the 70s and their old-fashioned kitchen was poorly laid out, had no dining region, and was small in comparison to all the other rooms.
 
\"When we bought the house we consistently intended to extend and replace the kitchen,\" said Jonathan.
 
\"With a young family, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen area and wanted a dining space and sitting region - so we decided to open up the existing rooms and extend to produce a far more usable space.
 
\"Our old kitchen resembled a room in a caravan. We knew it needed a makeover.\"
 
Immediately after adding an extension, the couple commissioned Kitchen Style Centre to create a contemporary kitchen style to fit in with their family orientated lifestyle.
 
The location that utilised to be the kitchen became a dining and seating region and the new extension became a contemporary open strategy kitchen.
 
Now extremely spacious, the room has light pouring in by way of the tri-fold patio doors and large windows.
 
A 4m \"island\" was constructed for the centre piece of the designer kitchen, making the best preparation region and storage space.
 
Fitted with the most recent cutting-edge technologies, the contemporary kitchen boasts a mixture microwave, oven, coffee machine, warming drawers, induction hobs, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and a 100 degrees Quooker hot tap.
 
Suzanne, designer at Kitchen Design Centre\'s Manchester showroom, said: \"We helped Victoria and Jonathan tackle all the decisions in a logical order, and eventually end up with their perfect kitchen.
 
\"We went via the plans, and supplied them with 3D images of how the kitchen would look. These images really helped Victoria and Jonathan visualise how the kitchen would be in reality.\"
 
Given a lot of time to consider the possibilities, and with the guiding hand of Suzanne, the couple now have their dream designer kitchen installed.
 
\"We enjoy our new kitchen,\" said Jonathan. \"My suggestions is to obtain a designer and fitter that you seriously get on with.
 
\"Planning and fitting a designer kitchen is a lengthy procedure and there is a lot to contemplate - so you need to have an individual you trust to give you the best guidance.\"
