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.

A KITCHEN DESIGNED TO FRAME THE VIEW – CUSTOM CABINETRY BY FLUID INTERIORS

Set in the hills of Mangawhai, this beautiful home by Jeremy Chapman Architecture (JCA) was designed around the view — and the kitchen was no exception. The client’s vision was to create a generous, welcoming space to host friends and family, while keeping the design calm and understated to let the landscape speak for itself.

Working closely with the client and architect, Fluid Interiors designed, manufactured, and installed the kitchen and scullery cabinetry, focusing on simplicity, natural materials, and lasting quality. The four-metre cantilevered island provides a sculptural focal point and a place to sit and take in the surrounds. A palette of Marlin Grey quartzite, stainless steel, and white American oak in a vertical crown cut was chosen for its warmth and timelessness.

Every detail was thoughtfully resolved — from integrated appliances that blend seamlessly into the cabinetry, to the pocket door that conceals the scullery, adding function without interrupting the space. Soft lighting and natural textures keep the space feeling warm and grounded.

This kitchen is a quiet, elegant response to its location — one that feels effortless, yet every element has been deeply considered.

Warm Modern Family Kitchen Renovation

This warm and welcoming family kitchen renovation blends natural texture with modern simplicity. Designed, manufactured, and installed by Fluid Interiors, the space was transformed to feel calm, personal, and highly functional for everyday living.

Crisp White Melteca cabinetry creates a fresh foundation, balanced by the rich warmth of Rustica Knotty Oak Veneer, bringing natural character and depth to the design. The Trendstone Neve Quartz benchtop offers a refined finish with long-lasting durability — perfect for a busy family home.

Thoughtful details make this kitchen truly unique, including curved island legs and a custom arched display wall that add softness, personality, and a place for meaningful styling moments.

A joyful renovation — and a space where this young family can express their individuality, gather together, and enjoy a sense of everyday serenity.
