The Duet Design Experience –
A smarter, more personal way to design your kitchen — right where life actually happens.
For Us, Kitchen Design Has Always Been Personal

I’m Cherene — and together with my husband Graham, we’ve spent more than 30 years designing, building, refining and improving kitchens for families across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock and the Lower Hunter…as well as Sydney and the Central Coast.
But what we’re known for isn’t just our 30+ years of experience – it’s the way we work. Together!
Most kitchen “design and selections” still happens the old way – in showrooms, under bright lights, with rushed timelines, and high-pressure sales tactics. That’s not how things work in our world!
We design with you, right where life actually happens — in your home – in your kitchen.
So instead of guessing, imagining or hoping the design will work…
you get to see it, feel it, tweak it, ask questions and make confident decisions — together.
THE DUET DESIGN EXPERIENCE
One Appointment. Total Clarity.
We do things a little differently.
Instead of multiple showroom visits, endless samples, and weeks of back-and-forth, we bring the entire design experience to you — in your home, where real decisions are made. All in ONE convenient appointment.
With two designers working together — one leading layout & flow, the other refining materials & finishes, your kitchen comes to life in real time, right in front of you.
It’s calm. It’s clear. And it’s done in one session.
What Happens in Your Design Session
• In-home consultation — we understand how you live and how your space works.
• Live 3D design — see your new kitchen take shape, instantly.
• Curated selections — cabinetry, benchtops, handles & finishes chosen with intention.
• Clear, itemised pricing — no guesswork, no surprises, no hidden layers.
Our design sessions typically take 2–3 hours.
We take the time to get it right — the first time.and clear answers — on the spot.

Your kitchen isn’t just where meals happen — it’s where life happens.
It’s where your people gather, connect, talk, share, celebrate and return to.
