Bayswater Kitchen – A Seamless Collaboration in Contemporary Design
A thoughtful collaboration between Fluid Interiors and interior designer Cathryn Davey of Revision Space, this Bayswater kitchen renovation is a refined expression of curated materiality and considered craftsmanship — where every detail has been chosen with purpose, and where modern functionality meets Mediterranean warmth.
From the moment you step into the space, a calm, organic palette welcomes you. Custom kitchen cabinetry in Melteca Baikal Natural pairs elegantly with Melteca Aged Walnut for a finish that feels both grounded and elevated. The addition of Ripple Flex 47 Oak panels, stained to match, brings a fluid sense of movement and visual softness to the joinery.
At the centre of this contemporary Auckland kitchen design is the hero: a dramatic Calacatta Verde honed marble splashback, designed with radiused corners and framed by negative space. More than a surface, it functions as a sculptural focal point — proof that utility and artistry can co-exist. Even the olive oil bottle was selected to echo the green veining of the marble — a subtle nod to the level of detail driving every design decision.
The benchtops are Porcelain Laminam Supernova Luna White, just 12mm thick for a clean, modern silhouette. Integrated negative detail handles give the cabinetry a seamless look, complemented by Signature brass hardware on the walnut bi-folds and satin nickel handles on the Baikal fronts. A full-height wall of push-touch cabinetry in curved Ripple Flex paneling completes the picture — sculptural, practical, and quietly luxurious.
This bespoke kitchen is a masterclass in New Zealand interior design, bringing together natural textures, refined finishes, and innovative detailing. A daily space elevated into an immersive, tactile experience — balancing beauty, function, and timeless design.

CASTOR BAY, AUCKLAND
This recently completed kitchen renovation showcases a thoughtful blend of coastal calm and modern sophistication. Designed, manufactured, and installed by the Fluid Interiors team, the project was brought to life in collaboration with Interior Designer Cathryn Davey of re-vision.space.
The layout was shaped around the client’s unique vision, while the material palette, creates a serene and refined atmosphere. The result is a light-filled kitchen that maximises the stunning water views toward Rangitoto. Natural textures, soft tones, and clean detailing combine with clever functionality — including mitred benchtops and a waterfall end — to deliver a space that is as practical as it is beautiful.
This renovation was a true labour of love, guided by curiosity, collaboration, and thoughtful decision-making.

HERNE BAY VILLA RENOVATION WITH HIGH-END BESPOKE CABINETRY
In collaboration with the talented team at at.space, architectural expertise from Jones Architect, and the skilled builders at The Building Co, Fluid Interiors detailed, manufactured, and installed the custom cabinetry throughout this stunning Herne Bay villa renovation.
Balancing the home’s classic character with contemporary flair, the interiors showcase a thoughtfully curated palette of natural American oak veneer, soft greys, warm pinks, rich navy, and sleek black. From the kitchen and scullery to the living room, vanities, and custom study areas, each space has been carefully considered to suit both function and refined everyday living.
The kitchen features honed Super White granite benchtops and custom cabinetry in a blend of Acrymatte, 2-pot urethane (Dulux Western Myall G10), and American Oak quarter cut veneer. In the scullery, Corian Silver Birch benchtops are paired with Prime Melamine and hand-finished 2-pot lacquer in Dulux Titahi Bay G10 for a clean, modern contrast.
