Interiors Designer for Custom Kitchens – Northern Beaches

Since 2007, Matt Michel Design has been transforming kitchens across Sydney’s Northern Beaches. From our Brookvale studio, we blend creativity with technical expertise to craft kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful. Whether you're envisioning a Hamptons-style haven or a sleek, modern space, we tailor every detail to your lifestyle and budget. From compact studio kitchens that require clever space management to expansive family homes with butler’s pantries, we design with purpose and precision.

Bespoke Kitchen Design Tailored to You

We understand that the kitchen is the heart of the home. Our designs reflect your personal style and meet your practical needs, ensuring a space that works seamlessly for you.

Smart Solutions for Tricky Kitchen Corners

Awkward corners don’t have to be wasted space. We design clever solutions – like pull-out shelves, rotating carousels and pocket doors – to maximise every centimetre. Thoughtful detailing turns even hard-to-reach spots into practical, accessible storage.

Thoughtful Cabinet Inserts that put everything within reach

We incorporate practical inserts like spice pull-outs, integrated bin systems, knife blocks and chopping board storage to make daily tasks easier and more enjoyable. Every detail is considered to keep your kitchen organised, intuitive with all the important tools close to hand.

Integrated Appliances for a Clean, Cohesive Look

We specialise in integrating appliances – from fridges and dishwashers to range hoods – to create a sleek, unified space. With hidden panels and flush finishes, we help make your kitchen feel larger, calmer and more refined, without sacrificing functionality.

Secret Doors for Seamless, Stylish Transitions

A signature of our work, hidden doors offer a clever way to conceal pantries, bar areas or dining rooms behind seamless cabinetry. Leave them open for everyday ease, or close them off to hide the mess when guests arrive. Designed to blend perfectly with your kitchen joinery, these discreet entries enhance both function and flow.

INTERIOR DESIGN THAT CAN PAY FOR ITSELF

At Matt Michel Design, our established relationships with local suppliers, trades and manufacturers mean we’re often able to secure exclusive trade discounts on materials, fixtures and fittings. On some projects, these savings have exceeded the cost of our design fee – meaning our service can pay for itself. We’re transparent with all pricing and happy to pass these savings on to our clients as part of a value-driven, collaborative approach.
