About The Customer
Jackie Kirk approached Grand Design Kitchens & Bedrooms seeking a calm, minimalist kitchen that reflected her personal style – soft, modern, and functional. Her previous kitchen felt boxed in and lacked storage, and she dreamed of something more considered, light, and spacious.
- Industry / Lifestyle: Homeowner, Stylish Simplicity
- Location: Grimsby, UK
- Home: Detached family property
- Kitchen Use: Everyday cooking, tidy living, hosting family and friends
The Challenge
Jackie’s main priorities were clarity and flow. Her former kitchen layout wasn’t working for her lifestyle – appliances were disjointed, the cabinetry dated, and lighting flat. She needed:
• A fresh and elegant design in a neutral colourway
• Better-integrated storage with clean lines and minimal clutter
• A feature splashback that added texture but not visual noise
• High-quality appliances built into the cabinetry without disruption
• A more premium finish overall – without overcomplication
👉 Curious how we approach complex kitchen challenges?
The Solution
We delivered a refined, handleless kitchen concept that showcases modern restraint and thoughtful details – all while maximising storage and usability.
Key features ncluded:
• Taupe Slab Cabinetry
Smooth, flat-panel doors in a soft matt finish create a calming and timeless canvas.
• Floating Wood-Effect Base Units
Warm natural tones and open kickboards give the cabinetry a lighter, more architectural feel.
• Statement Stone Splashback & Worktops
Seamless marble-effect quartz adds natural depth and texture across walls and work surfaces.
• Integrated Miele Appliances
Coffee machine, ovens and hob are all perfectly built-in for a sleek, cohesive look.
• Mustard Yellow Accents & Pendants
Pops of joyful colour were introduced through bar stools and lighting – warming the palette while keeping the space unique.
• Frameless LED Lighting
Hidden strip lighting under the cabinetry and ceiling raft creates soft, ambient illumination for evenings.
The result is a beautifully crafted kitchen that perfectly balances aesthetics and everyday practicality — a space the homeowners are proud to share with guests and enjoy daily.
