The trust and excellence of Kitchen Studio have been recognized and celebrated for eight consecutive years in the Reader’s Digest Annual Trusted Brands Awards. This esteemed recognition is a testament to the company’s commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and exceptional service.
The Personal Touch: Eight Decades of Building Trust with Clients
Kitchen Studio was the first company in New Zealand to offer in-home consultations, a move that has been instrumental in building trust with clients over the years. This personal touch has been a cornerstone of the business for more than 40 years, as stated by Dunedin owner Alyse McCormack. “Spending time with clients and getting to know them has always been a really important part of what we do,” she explains. Alyse and her husband Chris, who purchased the Dunedin Kitchen Studio franchise last year, bring years of experience in the local kitchen industry to the table. Alyse is a skilled designer, while Chris has extensive experience in installation.
A Nationwide Network of Locally Owned and Operated Showrooms
Kitchen Studio is part of a nationwide network of 16 locally owned and operated showrooms. This structure allows for a unique blend of personalization and shared values, as stated by Alyse. “Because we’re all locally owned, we can add our own personal touch, but we all share the same values and commitment to quality.” This commitment has been the driving force behind Kitchen Studio’s success and has earned it the title of New Zealand’s most trusted kitchen brand.
Unwavering Commitment to Quality and Customer Trust
Kitchen Studio’s strong guarantees have helped to reinforce customer trust. Every kitchen comes with a written 10-year warranty that is fully transferable if the property is sold. Deposits are also protected. This assurance provides customers with absolute peace of mind, as stated by Alyse. “We offer absolute peace of mind, and that’s what sets us apart from other kitchen suppliers.”
A Consultation-Driven Approach to Design
Kitchen Studio’s approach to design is centered around a consultation-driven process. This involves starting with a consultation, followed by site measurements and a personalized design brief. This approach ensures that the kitchen is tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the client.
Expertise in Custom Cabinetry and Furniture Design
Kitchen Studio not only specializes in kitchens but also designs cabinetry for wardrobes, laundries, and custom furniture. For more complex projects, they collaborate with builders and other trades to ensure a seamless experience.
High-End Results with Enduring Value
Kitchen Studio focuses on delivering high-end results with enduring value. This is achieved through the use of top-tier hardware from brands like Blum, known for their premium drawer systems and hinges. The company’s attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure that every kitchen is built to last.

The Dunedin team has been working on a major showroom renovation at 275 Hillside Road. The updated space will feature the latest kitchen innovations and a fully functional demonstration kitchen.
