European kitchen by the Kitchen Studio with quartz and stainless steel benchtops

You know a specialist kitchen company takes creative skills seriously when it holds a high-profile design competition for all its stores right across the country.

Kitchen Studio is a leading full-service provider offering design skills, craftsmanship, after-sales support and a 10-year guarantee, says CEO Dianne McAteer.

"Each year we hold The Kitchen Studio Design Awards as a way of giving back to our 16 stores nationwide."

"This year we are pleased to announce that Christchurch-based design consultant Helen Reason has won the Kitchen of the Year Award, sponsored by Blum."

For this project, the owners requested the sleek, uncluttered lines of a European-style kitchen, says Reason.

"The galley layout keeps food storage and the cooking zone aligned on one side. The kitchen's clean lines are softened with asymmetry, colour and textural contrast."

The quartz benchtop is matched with a stainless steel bench for the cook zone, while Prime Sovereign Oak cabinetry panels add warmth to the neutral palette.
