Harvey Jones | Harrogate 

Harvey Jones opened its doors to its newly refurbed Harrogate showroom, as part of its ongoing investment into showroom upgrades across its portfolio.

Spanning 900 square feet, the newly refurbished showroom located on Crescent Road in the town centre, showcases eight kitchen and living spaces. The space now features classic Shaker, Arbor and Original designs, as well as the brand’s contemporary Linear and Slim Shaker kitchens.

The showroom also features an array of partner brands such as Smeg, BORA, Quooker, Hendel & Hendel, Ca’ Pietra, and CP Hart.

Thomas Vaughan | Pontypridd

The Thomas Vaughan design studio in Pontypridd has undergone a major transformation to better showcase Accessible by Thomas Vaughan, the company’s specialist kitchen and bathroom design, supply, and installation service.

The studio has been reimagined to not only showcase its accessible range but to reflect the needs of real people living with restricted mobility.

It includes an accessible parking bay, a lift to the first-floor studio, and a fully working Freedom by Symphony kitchen with rise-and-fall worktops, pull-down units, and more.

Schmidt | Derby 

A new Schmidt showroom has opened in the former AGA store in Derby. The 120sq m space in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter features four full kitchen displays, a walk-in wardrobe, ‘secret’ utility room, media walls, a bathroom unit, home office and a gin bar. 

After a successful career in tech B2B marketing, owner Zori Kostadinova said she “wanted to work in an industry that has a more direct and creative impact on people’s lives.

With Schmidt, I can help customers turn their ideas into beautifully designed, practical spaces that genuinely change how they live day to day, and that’s what excites me most about this new venture”. 

Point 5 Kitchens | Belsize Park

One of kbbreview’s Adopted Retailers, Point 5 Kitchens, has officially opened the doors to its second showroom.

Like its sister store in Muswell Hill, the new studio in London’s Belsize Park will showcase Point 5’s handcrafted kitchens. But, instead of creating a carbon copy of their original showroom, the Point 5 team have designed this space to specifically show a wider range of styles.

As well as multiple kitchen displays, the new space includes a utility room, wine room, bar, TV unit, and a large selection of built-in wardrobes.

Casey & Co | Colchester

After almost five years operating a Kesseler franchise, husband and wife team James and Darcy Casey have opened Casey & Co Kitchens in Colchester, an independent retail business.

Despite enjoying their time as Kesseler franchisees, the couple put their decision to go independent down to a desire to be able to appeal to a broader audience.

The 175sq m showroom is not only walking distance from the family home, as it’s in the heart of Colchester’s trade and DIY stores, they’re hoping for more purposeful footfall. The showroom features five large kitchen displays, a sample area and desk space for two designers.
