Beautiful Kitchens.

Award Winning Designers.

Exquisite Materials.

Kitchens By Design is a multi award-winning kitchen and bathroom design practice with a 30 year history.

Our practice is based on the belief that innovative and practical design is fundamental for the delivery of beautiful yet practical kitchens. This marriage of form and function only comes from an open and enthusiastic collaboration between the client, a qualified designer and an expert constructor.

Whilst being very much design focused, our project team has decades long experience in kitchen construction.

Our projects start with the core principles of form, function, sustainability and energy efficiency, all tailored to suit the client, their needs and location. Our kitchens are constructed in New Zealand by local craftsmen, allowing us to explore an almost limitless range of forms and materials with our clients to ensure their kitchen is individual and appropriate to their lifestyle.

We have a long and enviable history of successful, often complex kitchen projects, and countless satisfied clients, many who have returned to repeat the process on multiple properties.

Kitchens By Design has won over 70 National Kitchen and Bathroom Awards which positions us as one of the most awarded practices in New Zealand.  All our designers are NKBA qualified which means you are working with an experienced creative professional who is skilled at imagining, designing and realising your dream.

If you would like a unique and successful kitchen design experience, speak to one of our designers today - we know you’ll be glad you did.

Marianne Gailer - October 2024

"Our builder recommended Marianne from Kitchens By Design when we were renovating our whole house.  She listened to our ideas and drew up a design that was better than we had imagined.  She and John worked seamlessly together to get the kitchen built and installed."
