Beautiful, functional kitchen masterfully designed and built
We needed a new kitchen and initially thought Art of Kitchens was going to be too 'high end' (ie: we thought we couldn't afford it). We were wrong. Our new kitchen is absolutely beautiful and works for our large family in ways we didn't expect. Given the reasonable price and the quality of the work, you'd think it cost twice as much. The design process was painless because David and Sam both knew what we needed and gave us excellent advice and guidance. The team from Art of Kitchens worked around our other renovation projects in a coordinated a...
Read morend professional manner (a lot of tradies in the house on some days). They were attentive, fast-workers who were polite and trustworthy. They were so kind to our son who has special needs and who kept asking questions (and making demands!). We're impressed! We were going to go with other more well-known companies, who advertise widely and have several locations around the country, but I'm so glad I dropped into The Art of Kitchens showroom. When we compare what we were offered from one of them to what we have now, there is no comparison. We would have no Ceasarstone, no high cabinets and most likely not even near the precise and high-quality finish we have now. Phew! We still have a little bit of painting to do, but the kitchen is finished! My photos don't really do it justice, but I'll include them anyway. Sincere thanks to the whole team and all the best for a successful 2021.Can’t recommend highly enough
Art of Kitchens recently designed and installed our new kitchen and we could not be happier with the result. Kesha and the team were all professional, helpful and patient with us as first time renovators. Everything was done on time and exceeded our expectations. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

A perfect kitchen with minimal hassle!
My new kitchen is simply stunning and has quickly become the heart of the house. I was encouraged to make my island bench much bigger and to add an extra bank of drawers which I am so glad I did - as both extras are so functional in areas that would have been dead space. The process from beginning to end was seamless and the communication was excellent. AOK also did my laundry and it looks fabulous. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks for a great kitchen.

We LOVE our new kitchen
We cannot fault this company! Professional, reliable, tidy and incredible quality. Thank you to the team for all your guidance, support and going the extra mile to create our beautiful kitchen. It is absolutely stunning. You made the whole process seamless. A stand out was the timeframe, sticking to this was so important to meet our deadlines and we really appreciate your planning and honesty in making this happen. Our kitchen has transformed our home and we cannot believe the space. 10/10 customer satisfaction thank you David, Sam, Greg, Craig and Jackson what a team!
AOK does it again! by Jan and John Edwards on 10 October 2019
We have just completed our third association with AOK. The first was a new kitchen in 2010, the second a redesigned laundry in 2013 and now they have just completed a fantastically designed walk in wardrobe. We requested Ole Jensen to do the design work and he came up with a practical, visually pleasing design in each case. We were very impressed with the ability of all we dealt to handle such a diversity of design. A visit to the AOK factory to see how the design transformed from computer images to complete cupboards was an eye opener, well worth the effort. The staff we dealt with were courteous and experienced in the task set before them. We are looking for other opportunities to use AOK! Thank you David and to all your staff at AOK.

Beautiful and functional kitchen - very happy!
We have just recently had our 2nd kitchen completed by Art of Kitchens. We love the design, quality and service we received. David's advice on design and functionality has created an outstanding family space that we will enjoy for many years to come.
AOK - They don't just do kitchens!
Initially we engaged AOK to renovate our kitchen, but after seeing the quality of work, design and particularly service, had them renovate the whole place! It was the best decision ever! They understand what you are after and also come up with great suggestions to improve the look. The quality of their work is first class. The designs they produce are innovative, modern and beautifully manufactured. Their tradespeople are trades that have worked with David for years, are very respectful, courteous and incredibly reliable. They turn up when they...
Read more say they will and to the job with minimal fuss and interruption! :-) The finished product is something you would see in a magazine. The compliments we have received from everyone who visits are a great testament to their fantastic work! Well done AOK!KitchenSydney

Another great renovation from Art of Kitchens
We had a very good experience with AOK last year, so engaged them to renovate our laundry. Again, we are glad we did. They provided great design that incorporated everything we wanted, and highly efficient project management that means minimum disruption. Kesha and Greg (designer & manager) really understand customer service, and give good advice, tailored to your lifestyle and your budget. What also sets AOK apart is the quality of their tradespeople - they are professional, knowledgeable and utterly reliable. They were particularly helpful in getting our appliances back in quickly. The laundry is great, didn't cost the earth and works beautifully. I would recommend AOK to anyone, and only wish they did bathrooms also.
Love my new kitchen
Highly recommended. I love the design - it looks great and the layout really works. Everything went very smoothly with AOK coordinating all the tradespeople. There were no hiccups with communication and anything that popped up was resolved quickly and without fuss. Big thanks to Kesha (designer) and Greg (project manager).

Excellent, very pleased with our kitchen and bedroom built ins
We are delighted with our kitchen, no complaints whatsoever. We found all their tradesmen excellent, their office staff excellent and our finished kitchen is a joy to work in.

I would never use Art of Kitchen for another kitchen job again.
I had a kitchen done from scratch from them a few years ago. I found them very rude and I had to point out to them that the the lines were not straight otherwise they would have just left it like that. If I didn't say anything to them about chipped panels etc they would try to get away with it. Even with the design I had to push them to come up with a better solution. Alot of hard work, rudeness and not worth the extra money to go through them. I would never get a kitchen from the Art of ?? again.

After Sales Service
Art of Kitchens built my kitchen 5 years ago but due to some misinformation a fault recently became apparent. Despite the number of years which have passed since the installation, they had no hesitation in addressing my issue. I dealt with the same people who were around back then (a good sign) and always found them to be open, friendly and efficient. Then, after repairing my problem, they left my kitchen tidier than it was when they arrived! Thank you Art of Kitchens for installing a beautiful kitchen in the first place (which still looks and ...
Read morefunctions perfectly over 5 years later) but thank you especially for your incredible after-sales service. Great job! They really did exceed my expectations. Open, honest communication; dealing with the same people who installed my kitchen 5 years ago; quality product; good design ideas; helpfulEndless delays and poor customer service
We had a new kitchen installed by Art of Kitchens a year ago. It was a straightforward enough project as kept to original footprint of existing kitchen. The issues started when we were advised our designer no longer worked with AoK. From there it took 3 months to finally have a fully functioning kitchen. We had a number of issues around poor cabinetry work. The built in wine rack was made incorrectly, the bin drawer was forgotten (ended up with a cheap plastic bin possibly from big W), a small drawer under the oven was also forgotten, the tiler...
Read more had to come back twice to fix up a very messy job etc etc. the most annoying issue, however, was with our pantry doors. They had a significant bow in them, trying to get a new door took weeks and accusations from AoK of misuse and even that maybe I was taking the door off the hinges when no one was looking! Then the attitude changed to one of "all doors of this height will bow" apparently this is clear in their contract - which not only is in not in their contract but also one would think if it was a common issue they would warn their customers in advance. Having read the other comments I am not surprised that all the positive ones were posted on the same day - just a curious observation from a sceptical person. Also their responses to the negative responses are very illustrative of their approach to customs service when things go wrong ..... Ie get defensive and aggressive and blame the customer. Could not recommend at all. End result looks good Too many basic mistakes being made, poor customer service, a 6week job took 3 months!Judith MartinSydney
Top quality finished result and excellent service.
I have just finished as major renovation in my home and used Art of Kitchens to supply and install a new kitchen, laundry and pantry area. I received great service from all involved at Art of Kitchens. [name removed] the Designer and key Salesman was really helpful and had great ideas for the space. The showroom in Cammeray was really useful for me as I could see practical examples of what I could achieve.

Read morece staff - particularly [name removed], was friendly and efficient. I was impressed with [name removed] who supervised the whole operation and made sure all ran smoothly. I had three quotes and definitely found Art of Kitchens to not only be the best value but they have surpassed my expectations in terms of quality and service. Highly professional service and quality workmanship. I liked that it was Australian Made joinery and I could support a local business.1 comment

Absolutely Brilliant!!!
I recently had a new kitchen installed by Art of Kitchens. Absolutely brilliant. Cannot fault their workmanship. Nothing was too much trouble and they were helpful and thoughtful throughout the installation. Even better, my kitchen was installed within 14 days of removal of the old one. Again I will say it, absolutely brilliant.

New Kitchen
Art of Kitchens is reliable and easy to work with. On a long project, they finished within the target deadline. But what mattered the most: they stand by their work. We had a couple of random issues show up after the work was done, and [Personal Name Removed] had them fixed without batting an eye. There are cheaper alternatives out there, but you get what you pay for here. Thank you Art of Kitchens.
Reliability, design and staff
Designer Beauty!
After getting 3 different quotes...Art of Kitchens came out on top for value for money. Producing a quality design and being flexible with the few changes we wanted to make, they were a great company to work with from the start. The designer was personable and patient explaining all the various elements he thought was important for our kitchen and once we signed their services at Art of Kitchen only improved. We love our new designer beauty kitchen and are really pleased with our experience with this company.

Extremely Happy with our Designer Kitchen
We recently renovated our small galley kitchen in our apartment at Cremorne Point. After some research and getting quotes we chose Art of Kitchens to do it, as we felt [name removed] at their Cammeray showroom had come up with the best solution for our storage problem and the best design.
We wanted our kitchen done in a hurry (before Christmas) and were also concerned with the impact of noise and inconvenience to our neighbours, so needed confirmation from AOK that the work could be completed on time. They gave us a schedule of work that w...
Read moree were very impressed with (and which was adhered to). Whilst AOK makes the joinery for the kitchen, the labour is contracted out to their team of various tradespeople who are specialists in their field. We weren't sure how it was all going to work out but each of their contracted tradesmen showed up on their scheduled date and were very professional in their work. Our block of units is quite old and the kitchen wiring, plumbing, etc. all needed to be brought up to current safety standards; we were very impressed with the work of these tradesmen in spite of their having an extremely tight space to work with. As our kitchen opens directly onto the living room, we were very concerned about potential damage, dust etc., but the AOK people took special precautions to protect our floor and the rest of the flat. Little problems along the way were sorted out promptly with the site supervisors [names removed] and office staff, all of whom were very cooperative. A couple of our neighbours also had kitchen renovations done recently and we had the opportunity to take a look at their kitchen renovations. We are very glad that we chose AOK for ours. The glass splashback was the exact colour we wanted and the kitchen cabinets and accessories all fitted perfectly.KorthoutSydney

Beyond fraught with problems
Beyond fraught with problems
I am writing this Review to let everyone out there know the difficulties we have encountered with Art of Kitchens. Previous to this recent kitchen installation we have built houses and renovated houses, so we are not new to the concept of having a new kitchen. Our initial consultations with the designer went well but the moment we signed the contract to order a new kitchen, like the previous comment posted by Cleo, we seemed to go from disaster to disaster. At installation stage everything seemed to be going wel...
