Italian style, German engineering: one stop luxury home interiors showroom opens in Manchester

Oppein showroom Manchester

A new home interiors showroom targeting Manchester’s fashionistas has opened in Altrincham. Oppein offers deluxe kitchens, wardrobes, fitted furniture and bathroom products with a designer spin from its store on Stamford New Road. 

The idea behind the service is refreshingly simple, we’re told. Customers can walk in with a mood board of ideas and leave with a carefully curated bespoke interiors design plan for every room in their home. No more traipsing from one specialist to another. It’s a one-stop shop for busy professionals who want designer homes delivered quickly.

The store’s home interior style reflects trends in art and design, with a choice of contemporary and traditional finishes; Oppein products are said to combine Italian design with German engineering, although the Oppein Group is actually the largest kitchen manufacturer in Asia. All of its various ranges are now available to browse online.

Even if you don’t have a specific project in mind, it could well be worth dropping by for some insporation. As well as kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, there are walk-in wardrobe solutions and laundry room designs to optimise space. All designs can be customised to meet individual space and goals.
