Kitchen Emporium: bespoke kitchen design and installation in Wigan

Kitchen Emporium is a family-run business based in Wigan that has spent more than thirty years designing and installing kitchens and home interiors for customers across Wigan and the North West. The company presents itself as a specialist in luxurious fitted kitchens, combining design, manufacturing and installation under one roof.

A distinctive feature of its offer is an in-house factory, which allows it to custom-build each element of a project rather than relying on standard mass-produced components. This vertical integration is presented as the basis for the level of customisation and finish the company claims for its kitchens.

Kitchen styles and finishes

The catalogue is organised around several criteria. By style, it covers German kitchens, in-frame kitchens, modern kitchens, shaker kitchens, slab kitchens and traditional and classic kitchens. By finish, it lists gloss, matt, solid timber and woodgrain kitchens. By colour, the range includes black, blue, green, grey, neutral, oak, pink, red and white kitchens.

The company states that it offers every shade of paint colour available on the market, and that cabinetry can be specified in solid wood, high-gloss lacquer or a wide range of painted finishes.

Worktops, handles, appliances and storage

Beyond cabinetry, Kitchen Emporium offers a selection of worktop materials: solid wood, natural stone, quartz and Corian, the latter presented as suitable for seamless smooth or curved finishes. The handle range includes chrome cup handles, brushed nickel knobs and classic brass handles.

For appliances, the company works with brands such as Neff, Bosch and Elica. It describes itself as a Neff 5-star master partner, a status it says allows it to offer products not available elsewhere to the public. The site also lists Bosch and Neff appliances as dedicated sections.

Storage solutions are part of the bespoke offer, with pull-out drawers, built-in spice racks, integrated recycling units and corner solutions designed to maximise the use of the kitchen footprint.

Design process and project management

The company describes a collaborative design process that begins with a personalised consultation covering lifestyle, cooking habits, aesthetic preferences and budget. The design team then refines the ideas, and a 3D design is produced to show different concepts incorporating the chosen style, materials and layout before installation begins.

Installation and project management are handled by the company's own team, with skilled fitters responsible for the fitting. After installation, it offers after-sales support for questions and ongoing maintenance.

Budget and scope of service

Kitchen Emporium states that it caters to a wide range of budgets starting from £10,000 and upwards. The service can be adapted to the scope of the project, from supplying furniture only to overseeing every detail from start to finish.

Additional interiors: bedrooms and home offices

Alongside kitchens, the company designs and creates home interiors, with dedicated sections for bedrooms and home offices. This extends the bespoke approach beyond the kitchen to other rooms of the home.

Showroom and design appointments

Customers can visit the Wigan showroom to explore the collection and can book a free design appointment. The company also offers the option to request a free brochure. At the time of writing, the site displayed a winter sale with an invitation to call for the latest details.
