Expanding kitchen design studio measures up move to former Emmerdale mill complex

Arlington Interiors Ltd, the North Leeds-based kitchen design studio, is relocating to brand-new showroom premises in Farsley, between Leeds and Bradford.

After more than 13 years of trading from its current showrooms in Limewood Road in Seacroft, Arlington Interiors is moving to the Sunny Bank Mills complex.

Hayley Reid, head designer, explained: “When the opportunity arose to take over a newly refurbished 4,000 sq. ft. retail unit in the old textile mill Sunny Bank Mills, we felt it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.”

Sunny Bank Mills has been owned by the Gaunt family since 1917. The complex has previously been a set for the filming of Emmerdale and Heartbeat, and since 2010 has undergone a multi-million regeneration into a base for a number of artistic and creative businesses.

William Gaunt commented: “In much the same way as we produced the highest quality cloth, so we approach the regeneration of Sunny Bank Mills, to produce buildings of we can be justly proud.”

Arlington Interiors will be located in the centre of a retail wing of the mill complex.

The company will have eleven kitchens by Kuhlmann and Sheraton on display, with appliances by Miele, Siemens and Neff. Sinks and taps will be by Zip, Quooker and Caple with worktops by Silestone, Dekton and Corian.

Hayley Reid said: “We’re so excited to be involved with such a forward-thinking project. The Gaunts have the vision to make Sunny Bank Mills and consequently Farsley even more of a destination than it already is.

“The building is absolutely beautiful with so many original features and we think it suits our design ethos perfectly.”

Arlington Interiors will move into its new showrooms before Christmas, with plans for an official opening weekend to be announced for early February.
