Elite Kitchens and Cabinets business was founded way back in 1958.
While it might now, at the grand old age of 65 and qualify for a Gold Card, it remains at the forefront of kitchen and cabinetry design and service, servicing both commercial and residential markets throughout greater Auckland, North Waikato, and the Coromandel.
Verve caught up with director Hamish Ross to discover what’s cooking at Elite and began by asking about the Elite Kitchens and Cabinets’ point of difference.
“We work closely with clients to achieve their vision, while creating a functional, customised space to suit individual styles and budgets,” he says. “Listening is key. Not trying to put your mark on to their kitchen, while also offering advice so that it is still practical and achieves exactly what they’re after.”
Combining clients’ dream visions with their Pinterest or inspiration images they supply allows Elite to create kitchens that are as practical as they are visually stunning: “We don’t limit designs to a single option, and we consult with clients throughout the process to guarantee satisfaction.”
Consultation with other industry professionals is key, too.
“We collaborate closely with architects, interior designers, suppliers, and contractors to ensure a smooth and stunning outcome for clients,” says Hamish.
Though trends vary according to clients’ taste, lifestyle, and needs, Hamish says most people generally “lean towards either the Hamptons/Country style or the modern clean lines , with various textures and finishes”. There’s also a move away from the standard safe colours of whites and greys to “embrace bolder options and a greater variety of textures and natural materials”.
Eco-friendly materials are sourced from the Laminex group and Prime Panels, while Elite’s spray painter follows sustainable practices, and benchtops with less silica and recycling options are available. “We’re happy to encourage clients and provide them with information regarding their environmental concerns,” says Hamish.
“We’re a one-stop shop from design through to installation,” adds the boss. “ Our onsite factory allows clients to view their project prior to installation and to make any last minute tweaks before installation.”
