About The Customer
Jane Mackenzie, based in Grimsby, approached Grand Design Kitchens & Bedrooms with a clear ambition: to transform her kitchen into a refined, contemporary space that balanced visual drama with everyday functionality. With a love for rich, moody tones and design-led interiors, Jane envisioned a kitchen that would not only serve her day-to-day needs but also act as a social hub for friends and family.
She was particularly inspired by deep navy hues, antique mirror finishes, and tactile materials — seeking a space that felt both grounded and elevated, stylish yet welcoming.
- Industry / Lifestyle: Homeowner, Creative, Entertains frequently
- Location: Grimsby, UK
- Home: Renovated detached home with open-plan layout
- Kitchen Use: Daily cooking, evening hosting, relaxed coffee mornings
The Challenge
Jane’s existing kitchen felt outdated and disconnected from the style of the rest of her home. The layout lacked flow, the lighting was harsh and uninspiring, and there was limited room for movement — particularly around the island and sink zones. Storage was a constant frustration, with cluttered surfaces undermining the space’s potential.
Jane wanted a kitchen that delivered on multiple levels
- A confident, design-forward colour palette — something distinctive but not overpowering
- Statement materials — from antique mirror splashbacks to elegant brass accents
- Integrated lighting — to enhance the warmth and elevate the mood in the evenings
- Functional storage — to eliminate clutter and maintain clean visual lines
- Entertaining space — seating and layout that encouraged interaction, not isolation
It was crucial to achieve a design that matched Jane’s creative personality and the home’s modern architectural lines — without sacrificing the kitchen’s usability as a daily workspace.

The Solution
A bespoke kitchen that captures elegance, expression, and efficiency in equal measure.
Working closely with Jane, our team developed a kitchen that blends opulence with ease — rooted in a striking blue matte cabinetry and framed by warm, organic textures.
Key features of our solution included:
- Deep Blue Perfect Matte cabinetry — rich in tone, soft to the touch, and ultra-durable
- Antique mirror splashback — introducing depth, reflectivity, and an understated glamour
- Integrated LED lighting — set beneath wall units to accentuate the textures and create ambience
- Marble-effect quartz worktops — sleek and resilient, ideal for busy kitchen use
- Black undermount sink & tap set — minimal in design, maximal in contrast
- Wine fridge & multi-use island — a social focal point that balances form with function
- Soft-close storage solutions — ensuring everything has its place without interrupting the flow
The final design delivers both impact and intention — an environment that feels curated yet comfortable, styled yet serviceable. From quiet solo breakfasts to evening wine with guests, Jane’s new kitchen rises to the occasion with grace and bold personality.
