Beautifully detailed and impeccably built bespoke kitchens individually designed for you

Working with homeowners across Auckland and the North Shore

Bring style and function to your Auckland home with a bespoke renovation by an award-winning kitchen designer

The kitchen is often said to be the heart of a home. But if your kitchen is an awkward space, outdated or simply doesn’t work for your lifestyle, then it isn’t going to be somewhere that you want to spend time.
 
Studio You works with you to create a bespoke space that works for you. We specialise in better living design, with plans that are designed not only to look good, but also to make best use of the functional space.
 
Using design tools such as mood boards with full colour schemes, 3D modelling and architectural drawings your dream kitchen will start to come to life and you can really visualise yourself in the whole space. 
 
Our recent kitchen designs are available to view and are a good source of inspiration. Once you have got some ideas in mind, book in for a free home consultation to start the process.

"We take a holistic approach to create better living solutions for your home. We will talk with you in detail to fully understand what functions you need your kitchen space to perform and get to know the lifestyle of our clients so that we can make that difference." ~ Surita Nel

Modern designs that transform your kitchen and your lifestyle

We have designed many different styles of kitchen including those with classic, minimalist, farmhouse and industrial aesthetics. While each design is different, each plan takes into account:
  • layout and positioning of key elements – hobs, sinks, appliances
  • positioning and addition of storage areas
  • kitchen islands and benchtops
  • lighting – including additions of skylights 
  • tiles, flooring and splashbacks – with colour schemes and materials that tie together the whole concept
  • appliances – although we don’t supply appliances we can recommend which style and functionality of appliances will suit the whole design
Creating Harmonious Flow
In the renovation pictured, the couple had a vision of a kitchen that could accommodate both of them cooking and baking at the same time, one that was white on white but not clinical looking.

In the existing layout, the outdoor entertainment area was disconnected and randomly positioned windows caused a lack of natural light and storage space leading to baking equipment being kept in the garage. The dining table, as in so many homes, had become a dumping ground leaving no seating space.

We replaced the windows with one long narrow window, providing natural light that allowed storage units above and connected the kitchen/outdoor area. The kitchen and dining areas were combined to provide a larger kitchen with four zones – a cooking zone with fridge, sink and free-standing range, a baking zone with plenty of storage, a cleaning/storage zone and an entertainment zone which included seating and a bar fridge.

The double width island serves as the dining table with ample space for serving platters in the centre. Although the couple initially wanted white on white, a coloured splashback and parquet flooring were introduced to give warmth and texture, while green bar stools connected the indoors with outdoors.
