When you’re planning a kitchen renovation, one of the most important first steps is to visit a reputable showroom. From getting some inspiration to speaking to a kitchen expert about your ideas, there are so many benefits to physically going to a showroom.
There is no better time to visit one of our modern and spacious showrooms at Ashford Kitchens & Interiors. We were recently named Kitchen Retailer of the Year 2025 at the prestigious KBB Awards, and our showrooms played a part in helping us stand out from the competition. We couldn’t be prouder to have won the industry’s most prestigious award, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards in all aspects of kitchen retail.
In this post, we have explored how a showroom visit can help you bring your dream kitchen to life and why it’s a step that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Kitchen Retailer of the Year 2025
At Ashford Kitchens & Interiors, we are a family-run business that has spent decades helping homeowners transform their living spaces with bespoke kitchens. Winning the Kitchen Retailer of the Year award is a landmark moment for us, and hearing our name announced in a room of nearly 800 retailers, designers and industry leaders is an unforgettable moment.
Earlier this year, we welcomed KBB Awards judge Darren Taylor to our showrooms. He visited both Farnham Common and Ashford to see firsthand what we have to offer. We knew that the award takes into consideration everything from customer service to showroom presentation, so we were determined to show him exactly what makes our business so special. Every member of the Ashford Kitchens & Interiors team displayed their commitment to quality, showing off our detailed design process and extensive range of products.
This award is about far more than just having a beautiful showroom with thoughtfully designed displays though; it acknowledges our well-rounded business that continuously delivers the highest standards. From personalised kitchen design advice to installing fitted kitchens that stand the test of time, we are overjoyed to be recognised as one of the most trusted and skilled names in the kitchen industry.

Why Visit a Kitchen Showroom?
The kitchen is one of the hardest rooms to renovate, and while you can browse online or interior magazines for inspiration, nothing compares to visiting a kitchen showroom. Being able to physically walk around different kitchen layouts and see design options in person, not to mention get advice from industry professionals, can be invaluable.
At Ashford Kitchens & Interiors, our award-winning kitchen showrooms in Ashford and Farnham Common have been carefully designed to inspire and inform homeowners, helping you make the best decisions about your new kitchen. Whether you’re starting with a completely blank canvas or you have a few ideas in mind, visiting a showroom can introduce you to styles and features you may not have considered.
Here’s what makes a visit so important:
Experience Real Layouts – From open-plan kitchens to L-shaped and U-shaped designs, you can see how various layouts look and function in real life.
See the Quality Firsthand – You can touch worktops and cupboards, and compare the materials used in each display kitchen. This will give you a much better understanding of the quality and durability than pictures ever could.
Explore Full Kitchen Collections – In a showroom, you can browse a wide range of kitchen styles, from modern and handleless to Shaker kitchens, all in one space.
Get Expert Kitchen Design Advice – A team of kitchen specialists can answer any questions you have during a showroom visit. They can also discuss your ideas and help you find practical solutions to suit your home and lifestyle.
Try Innovative Features – Whether it’s soft-close mechanisms or smart storage solutions, you can see how different kitchen features work and test them out before ordering.
