A well-designed kitchen can change how your whole home feels. Whether you’re replacing tired cabinetry, improving a layout that no longer works, or planning a complete kitchen renovation, Refresh Renovations Hawke’s Bay can help bring it together.

Your local Renovation Consultant will work with you from the first ideas through to the finished build, coordinating the design, trades, and details along the way.

Kitchen renovations designed around your home

No two kitchens need to work in quite the same way. You might want more bench space for cooking, an island where family and friends can gather, or better storage that makes the room easier to use every day.

Refresh can help with:

• Kitchen design and layout changes
• Complete kitchen renovations and smaller upgrades
• Custom cabinetry, storage, and benchtops
• Kitchen islands, flooring, and lighting
• Opening the kitchen to adjoining spaces
• Any building consent applications required for the project

From a character home in Hastings to a family home in Napier or Havelock North, the design should suit the property as well as the people living in it.

One point of contact from design to build

A kitchen renovation brings together many decisions and trades. Your Hawke’s Bay Renovation Consultant will be your main point of contact, helping you work through your goals, priorities, and budget before the build begins.

Refresh’s five-step process covers consultation, concept, working drawings, costing, and construction. It gives you a clear plan for the renovation and someone to coordinate the work through to completion.

Thinking about an open-plan kitchen?

If your kitchen feels cut off from the rest of the home, a layout change could make a bigger difference than new finishes alone. Opening it towards the dining or living area may create more room to move and make it easier to cook while staying connected with family or guests.

Removing or changing a wall needs proper assessment, particularly if it supports the structure or contains services. Explore our open-plan renovations in Hawke’s Bay to see how Refresh can help plan a more connected living space.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Hawke’s Bay?

The cost depends on the size of your kitchen and the work involved. Replacing cabinetry and finishes within the existing layout is a different project from moving plumbing, changing walls, and creating an open-plan space. Your Renovation Consultant can discuss your budget and prepare a proposal based on your home and plans.

Will my kitchen renovation need building consent?

It depends on the work involved. A straightforward kitchen update may have different requirements from a renovation that changes structural walls or other parts of the building. Your Renovation Consultant can help identify what applies to your project and coordinate any required applications.

Do you renovate kitchens in Napier and Hastings?

Yes. The Hawke’s Bay team works across Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, and the wider region.
