Inside a Modern Kitchen Renovation in Chesterfield – Real Case Study
Creating a kitchen that not only looks beautiful but also works intelligently for how you live is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do at Lord Kitchens. In this case study we revisit a project in Chesterfield, where we recently completed a full kitchen renovation for a returning client.
This project showcases how thoughtful design, quality materials and meticulous installation can breathe new life into an existing space.
🔨 The Brief: What the Client Wanted
The kitchen we originally installed in this home was almost 17 years old. While it had served the family well, it was time for an update—modern finishes, a more open layout, and functionality that matched how the client uses the space today.
Key goals included:
Removing a section of internal wall to improve flow
Relocating the breakfast bar
Switching from tiled walls to clean, plain upstands
Installing sleek, fully integrated appliances
Adding Amtico LVT flooring that ties the kitchen and dining area together
These design choices set the stage for a truly contemporary kitchen transformation.
🎨 The Design & Solution
For this renovation we specified the Salarno vinyl-wrapped range with custom finishes to create a modern, uncluttered environment.
The design focused on maximizing space and ensuring everything had a purpose:
Laminated worktops with matching high upstands
Integrated Prima appliances for a seamless look
Amtico flooring throughout the kitchen and into the dining room
New vertical radiator and updated skirting boards
Full decor refresh for a clean finish
Throughout, we balanced practicality with style — making sure the finished kitchen was both beautiful and easy to live with.
🧰 Installation & Coordination
As with any full renovation, the installation included:
Complete removal and disposal of the old kitchen
New electrical work for appliances, sockets, lighting and switches
Plumbing for all fixtures
Flooring installation and finishing touches
Decorating throughout the space
Despite a short delay due to a change in plastering trades, the project progressed smoothly with clear communication and coordination from start to finish.
🏡 The Result
The finished kitchen delivers everything the client hoped for — a modern, cohesive space that flows effortlessly from one area to the next. Sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and thoughtful layout create a kitchen that both looks exceptional and supports daily life.
The use of muted tones, integrated storage and contemporary flooring gives the room a timeless quality that will endure for years to come.
⭐ Client Feedback
“I am extremely pleased with my new kitchen, with the work carried out from planning right through to completion. David and Graham went the extra mile to create my dream kitchen.
