Top kitchen and bathroom designers up for awards

The National Kitchen and Bathroom Association celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and will soon announce the winners of its annual design awards.

Award categories include best design, traditional/classic, creative excellence, use of small space and people’s choice for both kitchens and bathrooms; best kitchen under $20,000, best use of colour, best student design, and best drawing standards.

Regional awards for both kitchen and bathroom will be presented in nine areas with chapters of the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association (NKBA). The top awards are the Fisher and Paykel Kitchen Design of the Year award and a Bathroom Design of the Year Award.

NKBA president Ingrid Geldof says the awards are open only to members of the association.

“Membership of the association is an opportunity for designers to set themselves above others in the industry and helps customers have greater confidence in them when undertaking their home project,” she says.

“Entering the awards is an opportunity to enjoy increased industry recognition. It is a fantastic way to showcase your work.”

Award winners will be announced at a gala dinner at Wigram Airbase on 20 July. This event is also an opportunity to celebrate the NKBA’s 30th anniversary, says Ingrid.

“We are thrilled to have reached this milestone. The association has seen many changes in the industry over the years. There are some brilliant designers among our membership completing some world-class projects. The executive committee is constantly impressed by what it sees.”

Entrants for the people’s choice award are on the Trends website www.trendsideas.com.
