Great rooms. Good stories.
New Zealand design.

KBQ.nz is dedicated to New Zealand’s most considered kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and the spaces that make a home work beautifully. We step inside exceptional homes, meet the people behind the plans and take a closer look at the decisions that make a room feel right.

A beautiful photograph is just the beginning. We want to know why the designer chose that stone, how they made a tricky layout work, and what happens when a kitchen built for entertaining meets an ordinary Tuesday. Through project stories, designer profiles and our Design in Detail features, we explore the products, materials and ideas worth bringing home.

Kitchens & Bathrooms Quarterly is the official magazine of the National Kitchen & Bathroom Association (NKBA) New Zealand. Here on KBQ.nz, we celebrate that connection through coverage of the NKBA Excellence in Design Awards, introducing the projects and people helping shape New Zealand’s kitchens and bathrooms.

Whether you’re planning a renovation, starting from scratch or simply collecting things you love, there’s plenty to discover. Come for a look. Leave with an idea.
