I would like to say how thrilled we are with our new kitchen...we can’t believe it is ours! I have to say thankyou to everyone involved starting with Michael the Designer, we said what we would like and like a magic wand he created this wonderful kitchen/pantry for us. To the team from the ladies down at Blackburn showroom & the admin ladies who kept us informed every step of the way. Thankyou to Matt our Project Manager who was a delight to deal with who kept us well informed regarding the tradies. To the tradies, Steve and his team, Andrew and his team, Steve the cabinet installer (what a perfectionist!) and Davis the tiler. They all arrived when they said they would and I was amazed how they cleaned up after themselves! We would highly recommend the Kitchen Design Centre.

We are very happy with our kitchen. Right from the design process to the completion, the team were very helpful. Our kitchen is designed with everything functioning in the most efficient way. There is a place for everything and we love the 'tech draw' .Having a project manager was wonderful with one point of contact for any thing that needed to be discussed. All the trades people were on schedule and it was all well organised. We found the service and the quality excellent and we are happy to recommend The Kitchen Design Centre to others.

From the moment we walked into The Kitchen Design Centre in Blackburn we were immediately impressed by the quality and choice of their cabinetry. From the initial meeting with Peter to the installation process, everything was handled in a professional manner. They arrived when they said they would, which these days is unheard of (especially when you are building!) The installer (Kevin and his son) were an absolute pleasure to deal with during the installation process, and are a credit to the company. We have no hesitation in recommending The Kitchen Design Centre to anyone who is in the market for a new kitchen (or cabinetry).

The Kitchen Design Centre were excellent. Communication was great and we always knew exactly where we were at, when trades and materials were coming and the date our new kitchen would be installed and ready to use. We had a significant issue come up during fit out, but they owned the problem and remedied it to our complete satisfaction.

we are so excited to be working in and enjoying our wonderful new kitchen. Corey and the team from The Kitchen Design Centre delivered a magnificent personalised service, advice and commitment to helping us achieve our dream kitchen. Just when we were at breaking point due to being let down by another kitchen company you stepped in and made us feel at ease and nothing was to much of an effort. Not only was your service and professionalism impeccable you value added to an already amazing design. I would also like you to pass on an enormous thank you to Brad the Project Manager and Kevin the installer as this experience was perfect and just put the icing on the cake for us. Once again nothing was to much trouble and the communication and workmanship was amazing. We would be delighted to be a referral for other potential clients.

The design process by Corey was meticulous and we now have a functional kitchen that is very easy to work and live in. The scheduling and communication by Brad and Melanie was spot on and a few issues that happened due to unforeseen circumstances with trades (serious illnesses) were quickly dealt with. Our kitchen still looks as good as it did when installed and functions flawlessly. Having looked at many kitchen outlets we were sure about using TKDC from our first visit. Both the Blackburn and Eltham display centres were very helpful, especially with tile recommendations. Highly recommended

The entire experience with TKDC was very professional with knowledgable staff at the Showroom, a practical and consultative designer in Dan, and a dedicated and enthusiastic Client Manager in Brad who coordinated the program and trades effectively and kept us informed at all stages. The tradesmen used by TKDC were very good and communicated well with us and willing to undertake some variations to the scope. When the existing kitchen was removed latent conditions were found that caused redesign of some of the cabinetry and plumbing. Brad and Dan were proactive in working through options with us so that the modifications were completed to ensure the program was adhered to. We are thrilled with the end result. ( We have attached some before and during photos. Please check TKDC Page for the great end end result "Ivanhoe 3")
