You don’t need a big budget to own a premium, high-spec kitchen. By sourcing ex-display models or high-quality pre-owned units, you can achieve a "Pinterest-perfect" home for up to 70% less than retail prices.
Showroom models as a smart kitchen upgrade solution
Buying an ex-display kitchen isn’t just a clever way to cut costs. It’s a smart purchasing decision that focuses on value and sustainability.
Every kitchen display showcases the latest designs, inspires customers, and helps a showroom present its brand at its best. Displays are key to any showroom and play a vital role in any kitchen sale.
But eventually, even the most striking displays need to make way for new collections, and that’s where online marketplaces like The Used Kitchen Company (TUKC) come in. With over 20 years of experience selling used and ex-display kitchens, TUKC works alongside leading showrooms to ensure their displays are not just removed, but carefully marketed, sold, and find a new home.
Premium style on a budget
Hubble Kitchens has been working with TUKC for over 10 years, trusting them to manage every aspect of their ex-display sales. Here, we look at its partnership with Hubble Kitchens and the repurposing of an ex-display LEICHT kitchen.
When Hubble Kitchens decided it was time to refresh their showrooms, they turned to The Used Kitchen Company (TUKC) to give their displays a second life. One of their beautiful LEICHT kitchens illustrates how a showroom display can continue its journey far beyond the showroom floor.
Sustainability and environmental benefits
For Hubble Kitchens, the process has been seamless. “Working with The Used Kitchen Company removes all of the friction from selling ex-display kitchens,” explains Richard Hubble, Founder of Hubble Kitchens. “Once we decide it’s time to change a display, TUKC takes over completely. They handle all communication, manage the sale, and coordinate the logistics.
They understand our brand and make the whole process very simple. It allows our team to focus on designing and selling new kitchens, confident that our displays are in safe hands.”
From the TUKC perspective, the focus is on making the process effortless for the showroom while ensuring every display finds a second life. “We’ve loved working with Hubble Kitchens for over a decade,” says Looeeze Grossman, Founder of TUKC. “Their displays are always of the highest quality and perfectly designed to work in a real home. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do; giving these kitchens a new lease of life reduces waste and benefits the environment. Our goal is always to make the process simple for the showroom while offering buyers high-quality kitchens at a reduced cost.”
Handling logistics: From showroom to a new home
For the showroom, the process is effortless. TUKC takes full responsibility - creating the listing, promoting the kitchen to tens of thousands of potential buyers, handling all enquiries, managing the sale, dismantling and delivery. The result for the LEICHT kitchen was a successful sale to a private homeowner undertaking a full house renovation, who was looking for a high-end kitchen but with budget and sustainability in mind.
For showrooms, this partnership maximises returns on displays that have already delivered value. For buyers, it opens the door to premium kitchens at a reduced cost. And for the industry as a whole, it supports a more circular, responsible approach to kitchen design. By giving each display a new home, The Used Kitchen Company ensures that a kitchen’s story doesn’t end when it leaves the showroom, it simply begins a new chapter.
Where to find used second-hand and ex-display kitchens
The Used Kitchen Company works with showrooms and homeowners to find new homes for used and ex-display kitchens. You can meet Looeeze and the team at The Used Kitchen Company on stand J91 at kbb Birmingham 2026. LEICHT Kitchens can be found on stand P74.
