Beyond the screen: visit Finesse Joinery Christchurch kitchen showroom

23 April 2024

We live in an age when lots of decisions made are influenced by a Google, Instagram or Facebook search. The internet is an endless source of inspiration, a directory of trades and valuable information which is helpful when you are undertaking a kitchen renovation.


·        How much does a kitchen designer charge?

·        What kitchen lighting do you need?

·        How to choose kitchen cabinet styles?

·        What are the latest kitchen interior design trends?

·        How much do custom kitchens cost?


Researching and shopping online has never been easier, but the flip side of the coin is you can’t always rely on what you read online. Are you going to receive the item you purchased? Is the quality going to be as advertised? Are the trades’ qualifications and experience legitimate? The list is endless.


With any online transaction whether for a product or an exchange of information, there is a degree of risk. This is why Finesse Joinery recommend you visit our kitchen showroom in Christchurch. It’s the first step to take to get the kitchen you want.

From cramped to champ: winning kitchen designs for units

29 July 2025
Designing a kitchen in a unit presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. With space at a premium, every design decision matters. But just because you're working with a compact footprint doesn't mean you have to compromise on functionality, quality, or style. In fact, with the right kitchen design team and clever design principles, your kitchen can become one of the most efficient, beautiful spaces in your home. Whether you're renovating a kitchen in a tired space or starting from scratch in a new development, here's how to design a kitchen for a unit, and why working with experienced kitchen designers in Christchurch makes all the difference. 1. Understand your space before you design The first step to any kitchen renovation, whether for a unit or a palatial house, is getting to know the space inside and out. Measure the floor area carefully, note the location of plumbing, power outlets, windows, doors, and ceiling height. In a unit, limitations like shared walls, structural columns, and compact layouts all come into play. When you work with expert kitchen designers, they’ll take all these factors into account and recommend layouts to suit your lifestyle and the existing structure. Popular layouts for units include: Galley kitchens for narrow spaces. L-shaped kitchens for corner areas. U-shaped kitchens for maximum cabinetry and bench space.  Open-plan kitchens that integrate with living/dining spaces.
