Founders & Design Directors, Keith and Helena Myers of The Myers Touch Kitchen Design Studio have announced their planned retirement from the industry after 21 years in business.
Leading their award-winning studio in Winchester, Keith and Helena Myers have mapped out a plan to retire by the New Year. Their team of designers, installers and business support staff have been informed of their decision and they are working closely with those individuals to plan this transition.
The Myers Touch team are completing the process of notifying all current clients of their commitment to complete projects. For any 2025 projects, they will ensure a smooth handover to one of their manufacturing partners. Suppliers are also in the process of being notified to ensure the successful completion of all projects.
The husband-and-wife team began their kitchen design business in 2003 with the vision to open a premium design studio and consultancy service that showcased state-of-the-art kitchen displays, growing the business over the years to one that is recognised as one of the leading kitchen design studios in the UK winning several retailer, showroom and project design awards over the past two decades.
Before embarking on a career in the kitchen industry, Keith and Helena had previously worked in global sales and account management in IT and pensions business process management in Insurance. Whilst raising three small children and being trained in engineering design and interior design, they gained architectural, interior and spatial design experience from overseeing three complete home renovations in their spare time, which gave them the confidence to both leave their jobs.
They began their dream of starting their design business journey from their home study, offering a home remodelling consultancy service with a focus on the kitchen space as the hub of the home.
In 2007, the design duo found a previous contemporary fireplace showroom just a stone’s throw from their family home which they turned into their Design Studio, remodelling the main space to showcase contemporary kitchen display examples and converting the original garage to their ‘designer’s hub’ space.
As their business grew, Keith and Helena began plans to expand the studio in 2015. The extension enabled them to double the size of the studio so they could showcase additional luxury kitchen displays and expand their hosting space for clients and customer events. This development turned the studio into a 210 sqm contemporary, state-of-the-art, ‘Mies Van Der Rohe’ style architectural building for architects and homeowners, which over the years has offered interactive kitchen displays from leading partner brands including eggersmann, Copatlife, KH Kitchens and SieMatic.
Their pioneering approach to kitchen design has led Keith & Helena to regularly host and take part in industry talks at RIBA, The KBSA, Grand Designs Live and Ask the Expert, KBIS (virtual), and The Homebuilding & Renovating Show – in 2022 Helena received an invitation to America’s largest industry show in Orlando, KBIS where she took part in a talk alongside other American industry experts. They have also been proud to have won many global and national showroom, retailer and project awards over the past two decades. Keith is a current Regional Director of the KBSA and a former Regional Director of SBID.
Keith & Helena Myers said “After 21 years of fun and adventure in the world of kitchens, we have decided to retire. It’s not been an easy decision, as it’s never a good time to say goodbye to our studio, our wonderfully supportive and talented staff team, as well as the friends and partners we have enjoyed such fulfilling relationships with over the past two decades.
We are proud of what made our business stand apart in an ever-competing industry - our design approach has always been to ensure each of our designs enriches household relationships first and foremost and the homeowner's quality of life through the efficiency, relevance and beauty of their designed spaces bringing into a home what we are renowned for – creating kitchens with light, space & laughter.
We look forward to saying a personal thank you to our amazing staff for their long-term commitment and hard work over the years. We also want to thank our customers and industry friends who we have had the pleasure to get to know personally and professionally throughout our business journey. It was our vision in 2003 to create an award-winning showroom in the heart of our home town of Winchester and looking back we are proud to have achieved that and been privileged to have designed many exceptional kitchen living spaces for homeowners across the UK and Europe.
We will be watching from the sidelines at the future of an industry which we love, and we hope it continues to get the recognition that designers across the UK deserve.”

The Myers Touch is delighted to announce that eggersmann’s masterpiece kitchen island launch SKYWALK’®, officially launched at Milan’s international EuroCucina 2024 Fair, is now available at their Winchester kitchen design studio.
Driven by a passion for bringing extraordinary concepts and materials into the kitchen, eggersmann constantly creates special detailed solutions. The design of the SKYWALK’® island reflects their architectural approach to kitchen design, as it defies gravity with its unexpected, cantilevered structure and angled LED under-lighting. Made entirely of solid natural stone, the SKYWALK® island showcases luxury materials such as burnished or bronzed brass, granite, and Taj Mahal leather quartzite which are meticulously cut by their skilled craftsmen and set onto the stone in hexagonal-shaped pieces to create a striking visual statement in any modern home.
The island’s design has a cantilevered design structure which appears to be floating in the air with a discreet glimpse of the structure’s natural stone set between the two island elements. The SKYWALK® design achieves this floating effect through a cantilevered structure with a central support that provides both stability and space for essential installations such as an integrated hob, sink and tap.
In addition to the SKYWALK® island is the SKYWALK® wall cabinetry also available in a range of superior finishes. This innovative design has options to include hidden pocket-door storage, integrated appliances and eggersmann's recently launched Depot sliding door system which allows the user to hide the sink area when not in use to enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space.
The Myers Touch partnership with eggersmann answers their client's desire for a premium German kitchen brand that offers innovative design, luxury material finishes and premium craftsmanship, enabling their expert design team to incorporate texture, personality, and individuality into their high-end residential kitchen projects for homeowners and architects. Eggersmann’s range of superior-quality cabinetry can be matched to designs available in a range of materials such as marble, textures, grain and gloss finishes, to create kitchens that are perfect in the balance of form and function.
Eggersmann also offers flowing transitions from kitchen architecture to living concepts such as room dividers, shelving systems and units so their design team can create the most sophisticated, luxury interior schemes.
The Myers Touch is eggersmann’s UK retailer in the Southwest region. The studio’s first Eggersmann display within the showroom features a large, contemporary central island with a cantilevered-style concrete finish worktop. Complementing the concrete finish are Twill veneered mitre-edge door fronts that are adjacent to a bank of light oak Eggersmann cabinetry with integrated, fully functioning Gaggenau appliances. A second eggersmann display is due to be installed in the Winter of 2024.
The Myers Touch is thrilled to introduce its newest furniture partner brand, Caccaro, offering clients a range of custom-designed luxury solutions for their homes.
Renowned for its contemporary and innovative designs, Caccaro’s high-quality furniture combines functionality and aesthetics. Each modular furniture solution can be customised to create a unique look for their clients’ homes within open-plan living and kitchen spaces, living rooms, bedrooms, bookcases and home offices, with each piece meticulously designed to optimise space and functionality whilst maintaining a luxurious, elegant aesthetic.
One of the distinguishing features of Caccaro's furniture range is its attention to detail and superior craftsmanship. The brand showcases clean lines, and minimalistic designs made from premium materials, such as wood, metal, and glass. This blend of modern design principles and traditional craftsmanship results in contemporary furniture pieces that are both stylish and durable, but also stand the test of time.
For example, a new display within The Myers Touch studio is the Caccaro TV Frame system in Kera Invisible White with integrated LED lighting surround - it’s a beautiful example of a media unit system formed with different geometric shapes to display a TV, books and favourite decorative artefacts. The lightness of the suspended unit features a storage pull flap opening for storing TV items such as remotes etc that combined with the geometric bookcase displays, breaks the mould of the classic wall unit, to create a new concept of TV furniture for UK homes.
The added benefit of the design is that not only does it frame the TV unit within the furniture design to give it a new look and aesthetic, but the unit disguises the passage of cables from view.
Another new display in the studio from their range which showcases how functional storage can be beautifully displayed in a home is the Caccaro Wall Pillar display unit. Each unit is available in a range of exterior and interior finishes and with flexible internal arrangements to suit a range of interior design spaces, offering plenty of space to discretely store daily essentials such as coats, umbrellas, shoes and utility essentials.
Each Wall Pillar unit blends smoothly with the walls and architecture of your rooms, furnishing them with a touch of luxury and sophistication. Their design allows them to be placed in the middle of the room to separate two different areas thanks to their custom height options from floor to ceiling or positioned against a wall. The feature LED unit allows the Wall Pillars to be illuminated to create definition and interest within a scheme.
Caccaro also boasts an extensive sideboard range which includes their Wallover sideboard module; a free-standing double-sided storage unit solution that can be displayed in the centre of an open-plan living area to divide a space.
The Bookcase element is also designed to be accessible from both sides. It can be customised in size and contains several compartments. The integrated closed elements are functional storage units.
Alternatively, Caccaro’s custom-made curved sideboards are another example of an attractive storage unit available in their range with a choice of wood, lacquer or laminate finish.
Open-plan entrances and hallways can be kept tidy and functional with their ‘Entrance’ system which becomes an attractive furniture unit and provides a tidy, cosy entrance area where everything is at hand. The dual doors open like a treasure chest to reveal a capacious compartment, complete with a bench, shelving and a large shoe rack to house bags, shoes and coats.
Caccaro’s ‘Closet Office’ design answers the wishes of those who want a built-in desk and bookcase system that can be hidden away behind cabinetry doors when not in use and be customised to perfectly integrate into a kitchen, living room or bedroom space. The work surface is enclosed by two side swinging doors, which reveal hidden shelves that are perfect for storing books, notes and stationery.
The alternation of open and closed compartments dictates the rhythm of this geometric and functional composition. Both the upper flap door and the lower drawer can be fitted with a servo-drive mechanism for smooth opening with a simple touch. In the side of the module, hidden by the door, remotely controllable LEDs can be turned up and down depending on the mood you want to achieve.
Light accessories can also be customised in many of their systems including their floating Wallover Bookcase design. For example, the sleek Bookcase partitions allow LED lights to be recessed into the rear of the mounted wall system to create a striking, warm visual statement in your home to beautifully display books and artefact pieces.
The Myers Touch, renowned for its award-winning kitchen designs and commitment to brand-partner quality, is delighted to introduce its partnership with ADL Design, a leading Italian brand which specialises in the design and manufacturing of contemporary glass, wood, and aluminium-framed doors and room dividers.
The partnership enables their design team to offer a variety of modern door systems and privacy solutions in a range of styles and finishes in an open-plan interior plan. The ADL Design collection seamlessly blends aesthetics with functionality, allowing designers to unify open-plan kitchen-living spaces in a dynamic, flowing manner while optimising natural light within the home.
ADL Designs’ contemporary collection offers 14 different types of door openings and room dividers including sliding systems, pull and internal wall sliding doors, swing doors, pivot hinge doors, folding opening systems, glass, and aluminium flush doors. Customers can explore studio showcases of the door systems and view finish samples at their Winchester studio.
For example, their range of sliding and hinged door models flexible room dividers have the advantage of buffering room acoustics due to their double glass design which is the ideal solution for creating a defined kitchen space, wine room, home gym or office within an open plan living scheme without compromising on natural light and connectivity. Additionally, for those looking for contemporary, swing doors their ‘Tesa’ flush door is the ideal solution for sectioning hidden kitchen spaces such as boot rooms, utility rooms or walk-in larder spaces.
For visual transparency in open-space spaces, their ‘Mies’ double-glazed partition system available in a range of different finishes is designed to be a continuous glass wall which allows light to stream into the surrounding space. The system also adds a greater perception of space to a home as the door system retains visual flow and connectivity in a home, whilst also creating distinct zones, so the illusion of a larger, more open area can be achieved.
For a streamlined look, the ADL Design ‘Mitica’ glass door system is ideal for defining yet separating functional spaces in a home such as a kitchen and living spaces. The sliding pocket doors in this collection are available as both single and double panels, with a pull handle in the upright rod to close the recessed door which can fully recede into a wall when in use.
The ADL Design ‘Deco’ sliding door design, which can be seen in The Myers Touch studio featured as a divider on their own-brand Möbelife kitchen display, is an attractive door solution which acts as a striking moving wall. Fully customisable in terms of size and finish, the ‘Deco’ design is available in a range of glass with features such as internal mesh, texture, transparent or frosted, and its range of aluminium geometric frame options is the ideal choice for those looking to bring a touch of industrial-style chic to their home.
Their ’Line’ screen divider is ideal for large open-plan spaces and perfect for those kitchen spaces that are created to have a ‘broken-plan’ kitchen layout, as it offers designers the flexibility to close spaces off, create privacy or provide sound insulation when other activities are taking place at the same time such as entertaining, relaxing, studying or cooking.
The award-winning design team at The Myers Touch is delighted to present five key trends they predict will feature prominently in their kitchen designs for homeowners in 2024.
Renowned for creating truly bespoke kitchen spaces that offer much more than just cabinetry and appliance options, The Myers Touch design personalised kitchen spaces using their bespoke range, own-brand, German and Italian kitchen partners. These partnerships stem from a deep understanding of their clients, their requirements and how they want to engage as a family within their new kitchen-living space.
Director and co-founder of The Myers Touch Keith Myers says “The expansion of our design partner portfolio has allowed us to answer client desires for ultra-modern design finishes and innovative kitchen systems that reflect European design and functional sophistication. From our new in-house, German-made kitchen range that offers a competitive range of cabinetry to customers to the Italian-made intelligent solutions from Copatlife and the luxury Eggersmann cabinetry range finishes, each partnership has been chosen to allow us to elevate our kitchen design's aesthetic and functional appeal that allows us to offer homeowners kitchen designs that reflect their evolving lifestyle needs and desires".
Trend No.1: New Surface Finishes that add Personality and Individuality
In 2024, their designers predict an increase in bespoke surface finishes that will add texture, personality and individuality to kitchen spaces. For example, the new material finishes from their German design partner, Eggersmann allow their designers to create cabinetry and island units as a piece of individual craftsmanship. By combining different shades, shapes and contrast materials such as lacquers, glass fronts, slatted oak, Corian, rolled brass and concrete vintage wood, kitchen furniture can be created to look entirely bespoke and handcrafted.
In addition, new cutting-edge materials in a range of wood, aluminium, matt and satin finishes are also available in a range of door sizes and handle solutions from their exclusive Italian kitchen design partner, Copatlife. Their in-house range, Möbelife also offers eclectic colours, internal carcass finishes, minimalist material options and storage solutions such as their new pocket-door cabinetry solution to their designs allowing them increased flexibility to create affordable kitchens that are personalized and reflect a customer’s individuality.
Trend No.2: Natural and Statement Stone to Define and Showcase Kitchens in Homes
Natural stones, sintered stone and quartz will increasingly be chosen as their luxury material in many kitchens with their designers using these materials to showcase and define sculptured island units, statement splashbacks, frame sinks and workspaces in their kitchen spaces. Natural stones, sintered stone and quartz have become increasingly popular in homes as they blend with every design scheme and have a raw, natural and organic feel, whilst giving the look of opulence within a space.
“Sintered stone and quartz offer a wide range of qualities compared to sensitive marble, limestones and hard granites as it’s beautiful, hard-wearing, stain-resistant and sunresistant” – Helena Myers, Director & Co-Founder of The Myers Touch.
Trend No.3: Intelligent Lighting Systems in Kitchen Spaces
New, innovative kitchen lighting systems will allow their designers to be increasingly creative and personalised within design schemes to increase enhancement and task lighting. The increase in lit and framed feature wall systems, illuminated cabinetry doors and appliances, sophisticated cabinetry LED lighting and chromotherapy lighting will allow designers to enhance definition, mood and dedicated framed or task areas in kitchen spaces.
One example of this is the new integrated Copatlife LED lighting technology displayed in The Myers Touch design studio which is complemented by an intelligent Novy Wall light system under the wall cabinetry that allows the user to easily control the lighting tone and on/off switch through Novy’s Gesture Control technology.
Trend No.4: Framed-Steel Sliding Doors within Kitchen Design Spaces
Crittal-styled framed steel sliding door systems have been a dominant trend in interiors in the past few years and that trend will continue as homeowners look to create a light-filled modern, Japandi-style look within their property.
The Myers Touch steel-door partner, ADL Doors offers a versatile door system that can be customised to fit any home’s space, offering privacy when closed and when slid open the benefit of creating an open-plan kitchen-living effect that lets in more light, height and functional definition.
Trend No.5: Creating Bespoke Cabinetry and Storage Solutions for a Homeowner’s Lifestyle
There has been more demand for functional and efficient cabinetry storage solutions as our kitchens have become more multi-functional – for example, a functional, yet beautiful breakfast cupboard for a busy family, a desk within a slim pocket-door system for children’s homework and work-from-home days and even a cupboard designed especially for a Thermomix.
An illustration of this was the installation of a concealed cloakroom and pantry which is accessed via discreet pocket doors to provide an increased sense of space in an open-plan kitchen-living space and a discreet cloakroom behind kitchen wall cabinetry which was also acoustically disguised to consider the open-plan, living environment.
Director and co-founder of The Myers Touch Helena Myers says “Our approach to kitchen design is that we’re not just designing a kitchen, we’re designing a whole living environment. It’s vital that we know how the whole space works, the challenges it presents, and how we can achieve an aspirational feel before we set about answering their brief. Ultimately. the homeowner is buying a new space for their family and friends, so our designs are always created especially for how they want to cook, live and feel”.
Award-winning kitchen design studio, The Myers Touch is delighted to unveil to customers their new own brand kitchen display named Möbelife in their Winchester showroom. The Möbelife range has been introduced to answer consumers' desire for an entry-level contemporary German-made kitchen collection that offers a range of styles, finishes and material choices in high-quality, functional and beautiful cabinetry. The range includes a wide choice of laminate, lacquered, coloured matt, ceramic and concrete effect cabinetry that can be coordinated with a range of worktops and splashbacks.
The Scandi-inspired display in the showroom showcases three Möbelife coloured-cabinetry options including the handleless Light Grey matt base cabinets that contrast beautifully with the warm-toned laminate oak wall cabinets and the tall cabinets in Grigio Lava that reflect a calm and balanced kitchen. The choice of cabinetry has been matched with Silestone’s 20mm white-surface Eternal Statuario suede worktop and matching feature wall. To contrast the cabinetry and surfaces, Dolomite Hexagon Mosaic Tiles have been used as a statement splash-back which adds depth and texture to the Alpine chic of this display.
The showcased design serves as inspiration for homeowners with small or medium-sized kitchens, demonstrating how the Möbelife range maximizes storage and functionality while providing ample accessible worktop space. The inclusion of eye-catching Sage powder-coated shelving from the range illustrates how additional interest, display storage and contrast can be added to more compact kitchen spaces.
Another notable design feature is the Italian-designed ADL Deco sliding door, featuring custom glass framed by a modern Tessil Brown frame. This versatile door system offers privacy when closed and can be easily slid open to create an open-plan kitchen-living effect, providing homeowners with flexibility in defining their kitchen space.
Within the display worktop is a Bora S Pure Induction hob with a built-in extractor, an integrated Blanco Elon 45S sink in a warm Silgranite coffee tone which is partnered with a stainless steel Quooker Combi 2.2 flex tap – an important wishlist item for many homeowners! Integrated Miele and Siemens kitchen appliances demonstrate to customers the range of technology available from their appliance partners.
Director, Keith Myers of The Myers Touch says, “As part of our 2023 showroom remodel, we are thrilled to be able to showcase our own-brand kitchen display to customers. Our high-quality cabinetry and worktop collections offer a good-value, German-made kitchen range with a wide option of contemporary tones and materials that will allow our design team to create personality and interest in each kitchen design.”
Made to last, Möbelife’s kitchen range, carcass, shelves and sides are all 19mm thick to provide durability and quality. The back panels are 8mm thick and grooved all around. Important design details include concealed shelf supports, lasered edges, cushioned hinges and aluminium corner profiles on the plinths.
Starting at £25,000, the Möbelife range provides a superior selection of cabinetry and extends harmoniously into other kitchen-living spaces such as dressing rooms, wardrobes, shoe cupboards, shelving systems, and living room furniture to ensure clutter-free and functional environments.
The Myers Touch Kitchen Design Studio, exclusive UK retailer of Italian kitchen and furniture brand CopatLife, are proud to present the UK’s first CopatLife kitchen display that reflects contemporary Italian cabinetry, quality and innovation.
CopatLife kitchen systems feature a range of intelligent solutions that elevate functionality and beauty to new heights. From hidden storage options to side-by-side built-in appliances concealed behind pocket doors, every element has been thoughtfully designed to optimise space and enhance a kitchen space's aesthetic appeal.
Director at The Myers Touch, Keith Myers says "The introduction of the UK's first CopatLife kitchen display at our studio allows us to offer customers a range of innovative and high-quality Italian-designed kitchen systems that reflect contemporary European design and functional sophistication. We are thrilled to display CopatLife as one of the three new kitchen design brands that allow our in-house design team to design kitchens for all customer tastes and budgets”.
The showroom’s new display showcases CopatLife’s 2.1 system. Dark elm arabica and metallic-effect lacquered cabinetry has been matched with sophisticated 12mm Dekton Keyla suede worktops and includes an integrated Blanco Etagon sink, a brushed black nickel Gessi Su & Giu tap and a powerful 4-zone Miele induction hob with integrated vapour down-draft extraction. The cabinetry and worktop contrast beautifully with the Silestone wall cladding as the polished Calacatta Gold finish provides a luxury marble effect due to its wide grey highlights that are delicately interspersed with golden glints.
A built-in Miele oven and steamer were chosen in an elegant Obsidian black finish for the display to further enhance the worktops' beauty and the cabinetry's finish. The hidden walk-in larder design showcases how hidden storage features can be customised in various sizes and solutions to store dry foods and appliances.
The display cabinetry features integrated CopatLife LED lighting technology which is complemented by an intelligent Novy Wall light system under the wall cabinetry that allows the user to easily control the lighting tone and on/off switch through Novy’s Gesture Control technology. In addition, a slim rectangular LED light source over the peninsula creates interest and provides a focal point for a dedicated food preparation task area.
Exclusive to CopatLife is their distinctive ‘Island Block’ unit which features base cabinets that can be contrasted with a range of finishes on the plinth with a raised side and back panel. The unit’s worktop features integrated cooking burners and a sink – ideal for open-plan kitchen-living as a stand-alone kitchen or with wall and tall units. An alternative to hiding kitchen appliances in a walk-larder space is to include CopatLife’s open lateral side system that can be hidden away and accessed behind a side cabinet panel door.
Additional systems from CopatLife available at The Myers Touch include their 3.1 range which offers additional cabinetry and worktop choices such as polished brushed oaks and lacquers, glass and stoneware, in addition to its multifunctional wall system and walk-in solutions such as pantries and larders. Their superior 4.1 range is ideal for homeowners who are seeking innovation, technology and perfection in detail as the system’s technologically advanced features in a new range of kitchen cabinetry shapes, solutions and finishes that allow The Myers Touch in-house design team to create a truly personalised contemporary kitchen space in homes.
Copatlife's kitchen furniture collection also extends into furniture solutions for living spaces making it the perfect option for customers who are seeking modern shelving, dining tables, storage units, home office and bar areas that blend as part of their kitchen-living space.
Award-winning kitchen designers, The Myers Touch are delighted to showcase their recent projects that enhance homeowners' sense of bringing the ‘outside in’ all year round.
Designer, Helena Myers explains “Homeowners want to engage with their outside environment in a greater way than ever before as it enhances positive emotions. By drawing in the sounds, smells and visual pleasures of their garden, they can fully enhance their sense of an indoor-outdoor lifestyle whilst being inside your kitchen.”
Renowned for creating kitchens with ‘Light, Space and Laughter’, The Myers Touch regularly collaborate with homeowners, architects and landscapers to not only create a kitchen-living space that looks and functions practically with a client’s outside space, but one that also provides a feeling of increased happiness and connectivity that allows families to eat, dine and relax together in one combined space.
By choosing complementary materials and tones from the outside, The Myers Touch designers regularly create harmonious interior schemes within kitchen design spaces that link both the inside and the outside. For example, blending natural, warm cabinetry, sleek worktops and a mix of materials such as slim wooden cladding merges seamlessly with the vibrant and natural colour tones of their outside. Designer, Keith Myers says “Enhancing the indoor-outdoor can be further achieved using textures that match the bricks of external walls. Using wood can elongate the space and timber brings warmth to cabinetry in cooler shades.”
The Myers Touch regularly work directly with homeowners who commission them to design a spacial remodel of their ground floor space so a larger, lighter and more family-focused kitchen-living area can be created which features a connection to their outside space. Designer Helena Myers explains; “We love to introduce the natural world into homes using a biophilic design approach in our kitchen designs. From large glass structural spaces to adding a feature glass window that reflects green foliage, herbs and plants in your garden to connect your kitchen with your outdoor space.”
The Myers Touch specialises in the holistic design of luxury kitchens in the Winchester area, creating truly bespoke living spaces that offer far more than conventional cooking environments. Established in 2003 and based in Winchester, they enjoy long-standing partnerships with the iconic German manufacturer SieMatic and other leading brands including Gaggenau, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele and Siemens.
The Myers Touch is delighted to announce the launch of their own-brand kitchen and furniture range named Möbelife which forms part of the new brand kitchen displays in their award-winning studio based in Winchester.
German-made, Möbelife has been introduced to answer consumers' desire for an entry-level contemporary kitchen collection that offers a range of styles, finishes and material choices in high-quality, functional and beautiful cabinetry. The range includes a wide choice of laminate, lacquered, coloured matt, ceramic and concrete effect cabinetry that can be coordinated with a range of worktops and splashbacks.
Made to last, the carcass, shelves and sides are all 19mm thick to provide durability and quality. The back panels are 8mm thick and grooved all around. Important design details include concealed shelf supports, lasered edges, cushioned hinges and aluminium corner profiles on the plinths.
The comprehensive range includes design options such as pocketdoor cabinetry, pull-out storage systems, shelving units and a range of cutlery drawer finishes so that The Myers Touch design team can continue to offer customers a superior range of cabinetry without compromise.
The range also extends harmoniously into other kitchen-living spaces such as boot rooms, walk-in pantries and utility rooms that can match or contrast with the style in the main kitchen to ensure spaces remain clutter-free, clean and fully functional.

From statement islands, home bars and luxury appliances, to ladder rails, integrated lighting and home-office spaces, the design team at The Myers Touch create kitchen-living spaces that exceed the wishlist dreams of their customers. They share the top kitchen design trends they're seeing in client requests!
For many of their customers, a statement island can be created by its size, curves, colour or lighting features. For example but adding hand-painted gold and copper leaf veining can look stunning swept through white-gloss curved cabinets to add a touch of luxury to a contemporary space.
Helena Myers, Director has revealed that many of their customers are seeking out home bars and wine storage solutions as part of their dream kitchen entertaining space. With the increase in homeworking, some of these spaces even include a desk area so that they double up as a seamless office space!
Helena Myers says: “Many of our clients love to socialise and with the kitchen being the main hub of that entertaining space, we can design everything from home bars, integrated chilled bottle designs to statement wine fridges’.
‘When designing a kitchen in a property that has high ceilings, The Myers Touch design team often make use of the bonus space by adding a ladder rail that allows a homeowner to reach high-level display or storage cabinets.
A ladder rail attached to the top of your cabinetry, not only provides an interesting, eye-catching design feature to a space, but provides a fully functional design feature as it allows the homeowner to slide the ladder across the rail before climbing up the ladder to easily access kitchenware or special decorative items.
What’s more, when the ladder isn't in use, their designers can create a space on either side of the rail system so that it can be neatly stored away in a niche space.
Clever displays and tones allow homeowners to change the atmosphere, tone and look of their kitchen throughout the day and into the night. From choosing integrated lighting in cabinetry or architectural-toned lighting that shines against a Corian solid surface back panel that showcases a distinctive geometric pattern, adds texture and interest.
Storage remains one of the most important aspects of all kitchen wish lists! From cutlery and utensil drawers, breakfast cupboards and wall-in pantry cupboards, customers at The Myers Touch love the range of functional storage features they can include.
Clever storage ideas range from spice cupboards hidden behind sliding splashbacks, walk-in utility and larders behind hidden pocket doors and pop-up TVs hidden in peninsulas to all help keep their kitchen designs clutter-free.
