Why do we specialise in kitchen design?
Kitchens (and bathrooms) are the most used and important spaces in a home. And they are the most complex to design well. They require thoughtful planning, in-depth product knowledge, technical precision, and attention to detail - where every decision impacts how the space feels and functions.
When designed well, kitchens and bathrooms support the rhythm of daily life - making routines smoother, improving flow, and creating spaces that are both practical and enjoyable to spend time in.
Our kitchen design approach combines ergonomic principles with artistic flair to produce stunning, functional kitchen spaces that enhance daily life. Lead designer, Josephine Fullerton-Coles, will work closely with you to ensure that every aspect of the design is tailored to your unique needs and style, and executed flawlessly, from the layout and materials to the hardware, lighting, and appliances. Paying attention to every detail in kitchen design is crucial, from perfect benchtop heights to placement of even the tiniest kitchen tool. Using 3D modelling software, clients can visualize the finished product accurately and clearly, eliminating any uncertainty or unexpected surprises. We keep up-to-date with the latest trends and have access to a network of quality suppliers in Tauranga and throughout New Zealand to provide bespoke kitchens of exceptional quality.
What is spatial planning & why is it important?
The arrangement of rooms and furniture greatly affects the comfort and livability of your home. Making the most out of your space is crucial, especially since it can be quite costly to construct or improve. By planning the layout properly, you can ensure that you're getting the most out of your investment. As part of our spatial planning service, we consider your lifestyle, budget and technical limitations of your project, reviewing or recommending floor plans, kitchen design or furniture layouts that suit your needs and preferences now and in the future as you move through different stages of life.
