Would have no hesitation at all recommending Creative Kitchens.

These guys did our Kitchen, Laundry and bathroom Sean, Derick & the team were amazing. We are in Gisborne, and we had no issues they came when they said they would come communication was key. Our expectations were exceeded with Seans help, product knowledge and design along with expert installation we have a home to be proud of. Nothing is too much trouble for this team, and we would highly recommend them.

Sean, Derek and team did a fantastic job of repairing wooden furniture damaged by removal firm. Did a fantastic job, great workmanship. Will definitely use again.

Fabulous service
nothing was too much trouble
I now have the kitchen of my dreams
So glad I went with creative kitchens.

Highly experienced team with exceptional craftsmanship. The quality from Sean and his crew was next level. We have no hesitation in recommending Creative Kitchens!

First time dealing with the Creative boys – very impressed with the way they operate and the product at the end of it. We live in Auckland and it is well worth the extra effort of dealing with a Tauranga based company. We will be back for more

Sublime, only company to use if you want visionary and crafted excellence!

Exceptional service, quality and ability in this company. Very easy to deal with, great suggestions, amazing team! Highly recommend!

Very pleased with the quality of workmanship that went into creating our bathroom and hallway cabinets. The whole process went smoothly and efficiently. Sean was a pleasure to work with and I would have no hesitation recommending his company to others.

Exceptional craftsmanship, no comparison.
Best in NZ!

One year later everything remains superb and of the highest standard.

Absolutely love my kitchen. Met all my expectations and service very impressive.

Having enjoyed Creative -Al & his team in all aspects of my former homes for many years I am delighted to have joined Sean & his team following on from when he bought it. They completely understand my ideas taking them to fruition, offer meaningful direction, produce top quality over & over, go the extra mile and are a pleasure to do business with.

Nothing is too much trouble kitchen and furniture great, would certainly recommend Sean and team.

Sean and Creative Kitchen made a new Kitchen for us. The kitchen was excellent in every respect. However the best part was the advice Sean gave us. He was bold enough to question some of our ideas and suggest alternatives. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Sean was a great help with our kitchen
Can highly recommend him

Creative have made many pieces of furniture in the past for us, including kitchen, bathroom etc. all quality. Would recommend them.

We have worked with Sean and his team from Creative Kitchens and Interiors for some months now, and have found them to be one of the most professional and organised teams that we have encountered in our 30 years in the kitchen business. Keep up the good work

I’m glad I chose ‘old-school’ cabinet makers for our kitchen. Creative Kitchens and Interiors were able to cater to my every whim resulting in everything I wanted and more. Thank you for my amazing shelf using my father’s very old macrocarpa from the homestead in which he was born.

Serious great service. We had no idea what we were doing and the team held our hands during the whole process and gave us an outcome that we are absolutely stoked with. The kitchen is the centre piece of our renovation and they nailed it. Cannot recommend Sean and the team enough.

Such a pleasure to work with. The results far exceeded our expectations.
Would definitely choose Creative Kitchens again.

Two complicated bespoke shelf units, well made and delivered with a smile. All good.

Beautifully crafted hand made Rimu vanity and washstand. Amazing workmanship and excellent service. Love your work Sean.

New kitchen in! Thanks to Sean and the team. Great workmanship, professional and good service.

So so happy with the 3 bespoke cabinets Sean and his team crafted and fitted for us.
The cabinets are made to match existing older ones and have a period look.
They are the icing on the cake for an extensive full home renovation.
Well worth waiting for such craftsmanship.
Thanks

Sean and his team have done a fantastic job transforming a beyond tired 1980s kitchen (with a few quirks to work around) into a modern, beautiful functional space. We are delighted with the result and the quality of the workmanship.

Sean was fantastic with his communication right from the start (which was a big thing for us as it was mainly a remote project).

He was incredibly helpful in our decision making in all areas of the process, and we appreciated his expert knowledge as to what would or wouldn’t work.

We 100% recommend Creative Kitchens and Interiors.

To say that Sean and his team are talented is an understatement. Sean’s commitment to his craft is unique and backed by the ferocious appetite of a maker who truly seeks perfection in all that he does. Creative Kitchens build exceptional products that are made to last many lifetimes. I value the piece that Sean created for me as something to pass on through the generations of my family and would recommend his team to anyone. The quality is truly second to none.

Stunning Vanity. Thank you to Sean and your great team for making such a beautiful vanity. What we discussed was exactly what you delivered. The whole journey from discussing the idea, presenting the drawings, choosing colours and the bench top, to the installation. The communication and quality has made the process a complete pleasure.

Sean and his talented team really do epitomize ‘old school quality’. Honest, honorable, attentive and know the trade inside out! I only have a couple of small items that Sean has crafted, but dream of the day I can finally commission my dream kitchen from the best team in NZ.

Seam and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with!

Their high level of professionalism and dedication to detail made our collaboration such a pleasurable experience.

Sean is a visionary and leader in his field, and is not afraid to try something that has never been done before in the design industry

It was an honor to create a bespoke metal rose for their showroom and I look forward to working with them again in future.

Hands down the best in the industry. Can not thank Sean and his Team enough for making our dream kitchen come to life.

We have been totally blessing by Creative Kitchens as they have gone well over an above for us. Creative Kitchens have given us a kitchen beyond our wildest dreams as Sean and his team supplied to us a kitchen at a very reduce rate. Would could not have had this kitchen without their generosity. Sean and the team have been a pleasure to deal with and would recommend them..
Robyn Walker – Business Manager – Homes of Hope Charitable Trust

Can’t thank the Creative Kitchens & Interiors team enough for our stunning new kitchen. Sean did an exceptional job incorporating our ideas as well as guiding us through options. Highly recommended.

Creative integrity is how I would describe Sean and his fantastic team. They clearly love what they do and are good at it too!
When Sean came over to start the design process he was a breath of fresh air simply because of his honesty (lots of no’s and “that’s not going to work’ ) He won’t jeapordise his creative integrity and I knew we were in good hands.
The whole process has been far simpler then I had imagined and though we are likely on the smaller scale of the work they do no attention to detail was spared. 100% recommend them.

Sean always knows what he wants and quite often it is something a little bit more special for his customers. We are very happy to provide glass products to Creative Kitchens who work their magic and make fabulous kitchens and cabinetry. Always a pleasure to work with!

Asked Sean and his team to copy two pictures we had off pinterest, a hallway feature and an office nook. Both were perfectly executed, good craftsmanship, promptly done with wonderful installers. Not the cheapest but definitely the best quality. Highly recommend them.

We are happy and proud to be key suppliers of drawer systems and other hardware to Sean and his business. Creative Kitchens and Interiors always do an amazing job representing our product and brand in the most professional way.
Hafele New Zealand are proud to be a strong and key partner with Creative Kitchens and Interiors.

The absolute go to place for kitchen, built in furniture and front doors. Prompt service, brilliant after care and fantastic workmanship! Whenever we need something else done in the house, we wouldn’t dream of employing anyone else but this company! Great advice as well!

If you’re reading this review because you’re looking for the best kitchen company in Aotearoa, you can stop looking because you’ve found them. Sean and his team are amazing. Every aspect of dealing with them was an absolute pleasure from making initial contact through to the design, creation and installation of our stunning new kitchen. Sean is really good at listening and totally got the vibe we were after from the start. He also knows when to offer advice for those moments of indecision (who, me??) and has incredible style so his ideas are great and well worth implementing. We are beyond thrilled with our new kitchen and still find it hard to believe it is ours. It is gorgeous to look at (as our daughter said, “Pinterest, is that you??”) which was always my primary goal but we have been delighted to realise how amazingly well it functions too. Thank you so much to Sean and his wonderful team for transforming our “bit tired” (he was being polite!!) 40 year old kitchen into a space that delights us every day. It has never been a greater pleasure to highly recommend a company. Best wishes to you all.

Tops for me in all respects – help with design, accessibility, quality, timeliness and follow-through.

Creative Kitchens have completed an amazing transformation of our laundry and built my dream vanity for the ensuite.
Sean has wonderful ideas and helped the whole process to be completed without any problems. Thankyou Sean.

Sean and the team built and installed stunning European Oak cabinetry for our bathroom renovation. We could not have been happier with it all and valued the patience they showed in engaging in wood selection and the drawer arrangement. Every day we get to enjoy the craftsmanship

Having worked alongside Sean and his team on a couple of high end builds, and having seen the quality of workmanship, Hands down Creative Kitchens are our preferred supplier. Amazing service, great ideas and expertise.

Very hard to find such a professional company these days that goes above and beyond for their clients needs. Sean and his team are outstanding. Highly recommend.

We used Creative Kitchens for our laundry renovation. We found Sean and his amazing team were incredibly professional and experts in their craft. We worked together to create a functional and beautiful work space. The left over stone product we incorporated into a cabinet for the garage. Can’t underestimate the quality and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested. We will be using them for future jobs.

Sean has supplied me a few things over the years and would rate him and his team highly.

We had a large kitchen renovation completed by Sean and the team at Creative Kitchens. The result is a joy to work in. The finish is super solid and durable as well as being really beautiful. We really appreciated the care and attention to detail by both the Creative kitchen guys themselves and the contractors Sean had dealt with before. The kitchen was the final piece of a extensive house renovation and needed to be the space that bought the house together and set it off. The result is a privilege to be in.

My husband and I are still gushing almost one year on since having our kitchen designed, created and installed by Creative Kitchens. Sean and the team were a delight to work with and we couldn’t be more in love with our new kitchen. We choose Creative Kitchens for their bespoke approach and traditional cabinetry work. Everyone who visits comments on how beautiful and unique our kitchen is. It’s the special features that gives Creative Kitchens a point of difference. We highly recommend them for not only an excellent product but an enjoyable journey in the process.

If you’re reading this review because you’re looking for the best kitchen company in the land, you can stop looking because you’ve found them. Sean and his team are amazing. They made every aspect from our first phone call through to design, creation and installation of our kitchen an absolute pleasure. We have ended up with a kitchen that exceeded our dreams and left me feeling it was hard to believe it was ours! Sean got the vision we were after from the start, always listened to us, knew when to offer advice if we were being unsure, and utilised his stylish eye to bring everything together beautifully. We are thrilled with the end result and say a very, very big thank you.

The kitchen looks better than we thought it ever could. Sean has been a great to deal with throughout the whole process. We would recommend Creative Kitchens for any Kitchen design or install.

We now have two amazing cabinets which Sean and the team made from scratch. The level of consultation and professionalism was fantastic from start to finish. We are very happy with our decision to go with Creative and would do so again.

Two bespoke units, TV unit and a display unit, perfect for what I required. The paint finish excellent. I am so happy with the finished pieces. Completed before scheduled date. Thanks to Sean and his team, can not fault your service.

Sean and his team did a fantastic job building a new vanity for our renovated ensuite. The quality of finish and attention to detail display an admirable craftsmanship that is hard to find these days. Sean also has a very artistic eye and was very helpful in making creative suggestions in the paint color and the countertop stone. Despite several schedule changes caused by the tiler catching Covid, Sean was always accommodating and a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Creative Kitchens for any renovation work.

Absolutely delighted with our table which was made to fit a specific space. Sean and his apprentice Page did an outstanding job and turned this around in super quick time.
Could not have been happier with the service and we highly recommend Creeative Kitchens and Interiors if you are wanting a bespoke piece of furniture made.

Well Sean, you and the team have been a pleasure to work with during our recent kitchen renovation. You designed a beautiful kitchen with a ton of storage into a small space. I was very impressed with the time and effort your team went to during the installation. We now have a stunning looking and also very practical kitchen.
Thank you for your professional, honest approach and for having the new kitchen installed in our time frame as promised. You and your team are simply the best.

A home reno journey with Creative Kitchens is the stuff dreams are made of. Thank you Sean for appreciating what made us and our (early 60’s) home tick. Thank you for seeing and honouring the character that was always there. Thank you for breathing such beautiful life into our home with the most perfect & gorgeous kitchen. Thank you to Al & Chey for their dedicated craftsmanship. Thank you to Matt & Glen for a seamless installation. It was like watching a beautifully led orchestra. The attention to detail & level of perfection sought has been incredible.

Any undertaking like this comes with challenges and especially so in Covid times, yet Sean and his team kept delivering. This is truly a team that can be trusted. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire experience. If some small issue came up, you could trust to have your call answered and sorted out. Having dealt with a number of different contractors over the year… the Creative Kitchens team stands head and shoulders above anyone else. Genuinely interested, caring, honest & exceeding all expectations.

I’m utterly in love with our fabulous new kitchen. Thank you Creative Kitchens team for giving the heart of our home a beautiful new song. And thank you for the wonderful friendship that’s resulted. The most amazing experience!

Great service snd a top line product .All you can wish for.I don’t normally give reviews but in this case more than happy to recommend the service snd expertise of Creatives team

We are so pleased with the laundry unit built and installed by Sean and the team at Creative Kitchens, it looks a million dollars. From start to finish it was a great experience and would highly recommend them.

When it came to choosing a cabinetmaker to remodel our kitchen we chose Sean and are thrilled we did.
Sean and his team delivered the most amazing and superior quality kitchen for us.
Communication was outstanding from initial drawings to finish.
We would highly recommend Sean and his team.
A huge thank you from us both.

The team at Creative Kitchens has been amazing since the first time I had the pleasure of meeting them. They have done my Kitchen , Scullery and Laundry/Boot room in a very old house. The entire process was seamless with ongoing communications and updates , even whilst working around lockdowns.
I appreciated Sean’s ongoing patience in explaining all the details to me , I like to know the details 😀. Al and Glen had a big job in installing all of the cabinetry in our very old house which doesn’t tend to have the straightest of walls , however there did it all with a smile and humour.
The finished product has exceeded my expectations. The quality of the joinery and products is fantastic and I am extremely happy with the end result.. Thanks team , you have contributed to helping me bring back the old house to something I am proud to show people and am now constantly recommending you to everyone .

I am so pleased with my kitchen and other areas co-designed with Sean who patiently sat through eight iterations. The team at Creative Kitchens and Interiors installed our kitchen, scullery, laundry, walk in wardrobe and bespoke display unit and Dutch door. the workmanship is exemplary and we are delighted with the final result and value for money. I am very happy to endorse the team with thanks and looking forward to working with Sean and his award winning team on the next project.

The workmanship and service provided to us , upgrading our en-suite and laundry was excellent, thankyou to all the staff involved.

We needed a custom built in for my husband’s extensive record and cd collection and to show off his stereo equipment to full effect. What we have is not only suitable but a piece of art. Nothing was a problem and small hiccups easily resolved. I would highly recommend them and have no hesitation using them in the future

I could truly write a novel on how thrilled I am with my kitchen. It is like living in a Country UK Magazine. No other option if you want excellence executed, Sean and his team are top tier. The attention to detail and finishings blew me away. I feel privileged to be able to have a kitchen of this standard, only in my dreams did I think a kitchen of this caliber could exist. Sean and his superbly talented team are the diamonds to be found. I am forever grateful and will be using CK again very soon. Can’t recommend enough. You can’t go wrong using CK!

Once again we are absolutely delighted and thrilled with our latest bespoke piece of furniture from Creative. We have been customers of Creative Furniture for years and Sean and his amazing team have carried on the high quality service we have come to appreciate. Thank you so much.

We are delighted with the work Sean’s team did on our kitchen alteration. Very professional.

The quality from the start of understanding what I would like, from the stunning design, the enjoyable process through to the end result was amazing! What a team of craftsmen.

We changed the colour scheme in our kitchen and put in an new wall oven and inbuilt microwave. Sean and his staff were excellent from the start of the job to the finish. It was completed on just over a week . We are very satisfied with the result and would highly recommend them

We were looking for a quality kitchen in our ‘forever’ retirement home – not only did we get it, it surpassed all of our expectations.
Sean and his team cannot be faulted – communication throughout this journey has been outstanding (including regular on-site visits by Sean), and the craftmanship throughout is nothing short of perfect (including crafted wooden dividers in the cutlery drawer!).
These guys are amazing and the results are more than amazing – we’ve already started recommending them to friends and family.
A huge thank you from us both.

They are very professional and work to a high standard. We now have a kitchen that ticks all of our boxes.
We will be very happy to recommend Creative Kitchens and Interiors to our friends.

Sean talks a good talk but he also delivers. From the moment we first contacted him he and his team have been 100% professional and have delivered everything on time. Cannot fault any of the team at Creative Kitchens, also the team of extras that were brought in.
We now have an amazing kitchen in our home that we are so proud of.
We cannot reccomend Creative Kitchens enough and will happily forward their details to all our friends.
We have other projects for the future that we will not hesitate to contact Sean to undertake. Such a respectful and friendly team.
Thankyou Guys!

We have been so impressed from start to finish with Sean and his team at Creative Kitchens. Brilliant design ideas, outstanding craftmanship and professionalism throughout. We are thrilled with our new kichen which is all we had hoped for and more. We are really happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a quality kitchen and flawless install.

Sean was quick to devise a great solution for our fireplace mantle. He and the team put it together quickly and installed it with pride. Their performance exceeded our expectations and we’re very pleased with the result.

Have found Sean to be very reliable with all jobs however big or small. Quick and efficient. A pleasure to deal with.

An absolute pleasure dealing with Sean and his team. Skillful team with positive team culture that delivery top end installations. Their installs from start to finish are pretty flawless!

Sean and the team did an amazing job of fitting Muros brick panels to my whisky room and then building bespoke cabinets to house my record and book collection. I was really impressed with how he nailed the design and aesthetic I was wanting with minimal input from me. That is the mark of a true craftsman. If you are wanting outstanding service, an outstanding product, and a hassle free experience, Creative Kitchens is the only place to go.

Great how Sean thinks of even just the little things like the handles!!! Enjoy dealing with him and helping with any ideas.

Thankyou team for my beautiful kitchen really happy with the overall finish , I would have liked to gone over the storage layout before manufacturing but you went out of your way to rectify this to give me what I needed . Would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wow kitchen , also great advice on my Bathroom vanities which are absolutely exquisite ! Thankyou guys !

From the first day we met with Sean and his team in the workshop we were impressed with their knowledge and ideas. Cannot fault the service, customer contact, workmanship and overall professional attitude who have contributed to our beautiful new kitchen. We love the functionality and clean fresh lines. Thanks to the whole team who were involved and also for actually getting it installed prior to the original install date. A very positive experience.

Sean’s service is second to none, he takes the time to visit you on-site, and truly understand what you are wanting to achieve. Sean works within your planning timeframes which is very important as all the trades rely on this being accurate and on time. Thanks Sean!

I have been associated with the business for 25 years, who have manufactured some very bespoke kitchens and cabinetry for some discerning clients.
I can say Sean , as the recent owner a few years ago has reassured this benchmark level, and his level of immediate
service and going beyond expectations is solid.
I look forward to a great working relationship with Sean and Creative Kitchens and Interiors.
Regards

Terry Walsh

Creative Kitchens & Interiors are in my opinion the best at traditional bespoke joinery. Client focus & quality are always at the forefront of what they do.

A great team who are great at their craft.

Friendly and talented team, great to work with and love the projects we have worked on together.

Impressive, quality beyond expectations delivered on our Hampton style oak top desk, laundry chute and mirror insert closet doors. After frustrations with suppliers who just didn’t get the brief, Sean Wood and the craftsman at Creative Kitchens and Interiors in Tauranga nailed the design, crafted products that exceeded quality expectations, providing a high-end custom fit-out that everyone comments on. Can’t wait to use them on my Kitchen!
