•   About partnership content

Classic Design Kitchen Company is welcoming customers to its newly refurbished showroom in Broughty Ferry.

Renovations started last November at the facility, which the company bought and moved into ten years ago.

Ardle Hogarth, proprietor at Classic Design Kitchen Company, says: “We took our time on it because we wanted to make it functional as well as pleasing to the eye, choosing the right colours and materials.”

The showroom is a far cry from the home garage where Classic Design Kitchen Company started in 1993 with Ardle’s father building flat pack kitchens.

Get a feel of your new kitchen at Classic Design

Ardle shares: “From experience, we found out that small displays did not work. The clients could not visualise how it would look as a full kitchen.

“So what we decided to do was to put in five full working displays with fridges, ovens, dishwashers, lighting and all the technology that you need.

“A lot of thought went into it to show different design options. Right down to the space between the island and the cabinets, people can feel what it’s like. They can stand here and feel like it was their home.

“The idea is it’s hands on. We want people to come in here and see what they’re getting for their money rather than simply looking and be scared to touch things.”

Classic Design, proud partner of Nolte kitchens in Scotland

For 14 years now, the company has been the exclusive retailer of top German brand, Nolte from Perth to Aberdeen.

Ardle says: “We went directly to Nolte in Germany. The idea is direct buying to keep the price down for our clients.”

In 2023, Nolte was awarded first place for product quality and design with customer focus after it led the customer survey conducted by the German Institute for Service Quality. It narrowly beat Poggenpohl for top place. Survey respondents praised both the design and quality of its kitchens.

As an example, Ardle points out: “Nolte’s LED lighting systems are all factory fitted. We do not stick LED strips into your kitchen.

“The lights are remote controlled. You can change them from cool to warm, dim or brighten them, switch on or off at the touch of a button.”

Classic Design: chosen partner of elite Neff brand

Customers will also be able to see every latest appliance from trusted brands like Neff, Siemens and Bora at Classic Design’s Broughty Ferry showroom.

Around 12 years ago, Neff appliances, part of the Bosch-Siemens Group, chose Classic Design as its local five-star master partner.

Ardle explains: “That status means we are among the highest-level dealers. We get training, exclusive products and pricing from Neff. We offer our customers the very best pricing and installation by our highly experienced team.”

Classic Design prides itself on its customer service

Having been in business for more than three decades now with an in-house fitting team, Classic Design prides itself on the excellent service it delivers to customers.

In fact, many clients found out about the company through word of mouth.

Ardle says: “We specialise in what we do and we do it day after day. Our fitter has been with us for 15 years. All our guys are fully versed. They know exactly what they’re doing. Our customers get a wealth of experience between us all.

“This also gives us an edge when it comes to the replacement appliance market. We use the same trusted tradesmen and keen pricing that we use in our kitchens.

“The rule we have here is ‘don’t put in somebody’s house what you don’t want in your own.’ For us, it’s about delivering the best.”
