Creating a Kitchen That Works for You
- A good kitchen isn't just about how it looks. The layout should make everyday tasks easier, provide enough storage and bench space, and connect naturally with the surrounding areas of your home. When planning a kitchen renovation, it's worth considering:
- How you currently use the kitchen
- Storage requirements
- Bench and preparation space
- Appliance locations
- Lighting
- Power points
- Traffic flow
- Connection to dining and living areas
- Materials and finishes
Sometimes small changes to the existing layout can make a significant difference. In other homes, opening the kitchen into the dining or living area can completely transform how the space feels and functions.
Renovating on a Budget?
A beautiful kitchen doesn't necessarily require the most expensive products.Good planning can make a significant difference. Keeping plumbing in similar locations, choosing quality products at sensible price points and investing in the areas that matter most can help you create a kitchen that looks great without unnecessary expense.We work with a range of renovation budgets and can help you understand where it's worth investing and where simpler solutions may achieve the result you're looking for.

Opening Up Your Kitchen?
- Many older Auckland homes were designed with kitchens separated from the main living areas.
- Removing or altering walls can create a brighter, more open space and improve the connection between the kitchen, dining and living areas.
- However, removing a wall isn't always as simple as taking it down.
- If the wall is structural or load-bearing, the work may require engineering, plans and building consent. Electrical wiring, plumbing or other services may also need to be relocated.
- We can assess what's involved and help coordinate the appropriate designers, engineers and trades where required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the renovation, the amount of building work required and the availability of cabinetry, appliances and other materials. Once we understand the scope of your project, we can provide a clearer expected programme.
Can you remove a wall to create an open-plan kitchen?
Potentially, yes. We'll first need to determine whether the wall is structural and whether there are any services running through it. Where engineering, plans or building consent are required, we can help coordinate the process.
Can you help design my kitchen?
Yes. If you don't already have a design, we can connect you with our trusted design team and suppliers to help develop a kitchen that suits your home, lifestyle and budget.
Can you renovate the surrounding living areas as well?
Yes. If you're opening up the kitchen or planning a larger renovation, we can complete the surrounding building work, flooring, walls and other areas as part of the project.
Can you work with a kitchen company I've already chosen?
Absolutely. If you already have a kitchen designer, cabinetry supplier or plans, we can work alongside them and manage the building work and relevant trades required for the renovation.
Do I need building consent for a kitchen renovation?
Many straightforward kitchen renovations won't require building consent. However, structural changes and certain other building work may require consent. We can assess the project and help coordinate the consent process where necessary.
