About Our Team of Expert Kitchen Designers | Palazzo Kitchens Christchurch

ABOUT US

When Palazzo Kitchen's original owner in New Zealand engaged German cabinetry supplier Nobilia 15 years ago, it kicked off a successful partnership which still exists to this day.

Germany is renowned for its precision engineering, innovative design, and premium craftsmanship. At Palazzo, we’re proud to partner with two of Germany’s leading kitchen manufacturers: Nobilia and Leicht. Our designers are working with the latest materials, finishes, and technologies straight from the source - blending the creativity of local designers with the world-class quality of German manufacturing.

Our kitchen designers in Christchurch work closely with you from concept to completion, ensuring a seamless experience whether you’re building a new home or renovating your existing kitchen. We manage everything from kitchen design to installation, delivering a stress-free process.

ADD VALUE WITH PALAZZO

Whether you’re upgrading to add long-term value to your home or creating a kitchen that truly stands out, a Palazzo Kitchen delivers form, function, and timeless quality.

At Palazzo, we design and price in tandem: you set your budget and we will align the concept design to that budget. Between our Nobilia and Leicht cabinetry ranges, we can work with a wide variety of budgets.

We have access to a myriad of benchtop, sink and tap options along with appliances so we can take care of every piece of the puzzle to bring your project together.

GET STARTED

We have had a fantastic experience with Palazzo kitchens. They were super helpful and friendly, particularly Sarah during the design process. Coordinating the install with all the trades seemed mammoth but Kate and Blair pulled it all off amazingly, being constantly available and keeping us in the loop with plans as it all unfolded. The finished product looks fabulous and we are so happy to have gone with Palazzo. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

— WARRICK MASON

We had an amazing experience dealing with Amanda, Blair and others in the team at Palazzo Kitchens. When we first visited the showroom we had a plan in mind which Amanda helped us put into reality. We never felt pressured into making decisions - this wasn't a hard-sell experience, but rather a collaborative approach with Amanda ensuring that what we were happy with the end result. And we certainly are - it looks wonderful, has lots of storage and is a dream to use. Thanks Amanda & Palazzo.

— LEZLIE BRIDGE

We can’t rave about Palazzo Kitchens enough! From the moment we walked into the showroom it was clear we wouldn’t be going anywhere else. Amanda was able to bring together everything we dreamed of and so much more - she has an amazing attention to detail. We now have the kitchen of our dreams and not only is it stylish but extremely practical too, it’s a pleasure to cook and entertain in.
