Wayde helped us with a kitchen renovation which involved knocking a wall down and extending into the dining area. We could not have done this without his expert project management and advice. He worked with us to achieve the bulk of the work over the Summer break to minimise impact on the family, seamlessly co-ordinating all of the people involved in the project, and ensuring his own Summer holiday also in the middle of it through good planning. We had huge confidence in the expert tradespeople who worked on the project, simply because of their links with Wayde, and they were all very professional and delivered work to a high standard. Wayde went above and beyond to assist us with some unexpected queries even beyond the completion of the project, and we were just so grateful and appreciative of his help with this. We could not be happier with our new kitchen, the flow, functionality and aesthetics and all done within budget. Wayde is friendly and professional and we would highly recommend his services to anyone embarking on a kitchen renovation. Sarah and Kelvin

Wayde had already created our ideal kitchen and now he has delivered the ideal bathroom. He designed and project managed the transformation, engaging expert tradesmen, and ensuring the process was as smooth as possible. Our new bathroom is wheelchair accessible, with safety paramount, and tailored to meet our specific disabilities. All that was achieved without any loss of aesthetics, our room is bright, fun and warm.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

It was a pleasure to work with you on your bathroom renovation. The small room certainly presented plenty of challenges but I think we worked like a dream team to create a functional and pleasing space. Thanks again for engaging my design and project management services.

Shirley & Leanne

Our awesome new wheelchair-friendly kitchen was designed and project-managed by Wayde of Wayde Beckman Design. Wayde took the time to understand our specific mobility challenges, preferences and quirks. He transformed our vague ideas into a detailed plan, then oversaw the creation of a beautiful, functional room that suits our abilities and our disabilities. He brought together the most talented people in each of the trades and they delivered - always professional, friendly, and careful to ensure that everything was beautifully finished and fit for purpose. Everything is perfect, from the colours, materials and workmanship, through to the height-adjustable bench and a welcome feeling of independence. We absolutely recommend Wayde.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Leanne and Shirley, thank you for engaging me in this project; it has been one of the standouts. I loved the challenge of designing and creating a kitchen that works for both of your needs and abilities.

Lee and Shirley Wilson

Wayde helped us with a refresh of our 20 year old kitchen. He was easy to work with, was very responsive to queries, and from the very first site meeting to discuss possibilities, we were confident that Wayde could deliver what we were looking for.. He understood the problems with our existing kitchen and, in association with the joiner he contracted for the job, came up with great ideas and solutions. Wayde managed the project, interfaced with the joiner, always kept us well-informed, and delivered the project within a tight time-frame. He is a pleasure to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wayde to others. We love our refreshed kitchen.

Thanks for your encouraging review Lee and Shirley. It was my pleasure to help you breath some new and more functional life into your kitchen.

My husband and I engaged the services of Wayde a few years ago for a new kitchen design, this was to not only include a complete rebuild of the current kitchen but to extend into the lounge and create a dining area. As we were inexperienced in this - Wayde was an invaluable asset in creating a space, providing advice on materials, appliances, flooring and lighting . The result is a space that has met all our requirements, will stand the test of time from an aesthetic and use perspective, is admired by all and brings a huge amount of joy. Out admiration of Wayde is 'huge'. - we subsequently used him for 2 bathroom renovations which also are fantastic. We would recommend Wayde to all!

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Thanks for engaging me for the kitchen renovation all those years ago. I remember feeling excited about the project due to the wonderful setting of your home. The project was success and I appreciated the ongoing work on other areas of your home.

Cees and Sarah

An outstanding experience with exceptional results. Wayde really took the time to understand what kitchen space we wanted created in our home. Then he totally transformed our cluttered, pokey and dark 1970s kitchen into a streamlined, highly effective, light filled and enjoyable modern space to cook and socialize. He is highly practical as well as being creative with interior design which helps with material selection and utilizing all available space. His project management skills are exceptional. Wayde has a great team of professional tilers, joiners and other tradespeople that work seamlessly to get everything done on budget and on time even with the disruption of COVID. He has very high standards and expects the same from tradespeople he works with. We think our kitchen is fabulous and there is not one thing we would change. We highly recommend Wayde.

Thanks so much for the positive review, Cees and Sarah. I loved working on the project and helping you create a beautiful kitchen befitting your amazing home.

Wayde was excellent to work with, right from the very first site meeting through to completion of our new kitchen. He has an exceptional eye for design and came up with ideas and solutions that we’d have never thought of ourselves. A consummate design professional he pushed our thinking in relation to colours and materials, which has resulted in a stylish, modern and striking result that compliments the style of our home. Wayde has impeccable attention to detail and took the time to respond to our endless questions throughout the project - nothing was too much trouble for him. His tradesmen are excellent and minor snags were resolved without delay. Wayde’s project management and communication are excellent, meaning we always knew what was happening throughout every stage of the project. A fantastic designer to work with - we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wayde to others. We love our new kitchen - thanks Wayde!

Thanks so much for the review and project. It was a pleasure to work with you both. We made a great team. I know you'll get man, many years of enjoyment from your new kitchen.

As part of a renovation of a 1930’s bungalow, Wayde was engaged to design our kitchen. I had a fairly good idea of how I wanted the kitchen to look and perform. Wayde skilfully designed a kitchen that took those ideas, the quirks of the space, the functionality required and turned it into a beautiful place, which lifts my spirits every time I walk in. To achieve this, Wayde guided me through every aspect of materials, colour, form and functionality, including showroom visits where needed. To make Wayde’s task more difficult, I required the design to incorporate laundry functions. This was achieved and works seamlessly.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Thank you for the review and the opportunity to work with you on these improvements to your home. We had to fit a lot into a reasonably tight space, and I think between us we created a beautiful and functional kitchen (and laundry) that compliments the architectural features of your home. I hope it continues to lift your spirits for years to come. Warm regards, Wayde.

Tony Burton

Wayde did a fantastic job helping us design, plan and build a new kitchen. In particular dealing with the Covid-19 lockdown and its aftermath. In more detail, Wayde: - Spent time discussing the design to understand what was important to us and how to make sure the kitchen met our needs. - helped us find a innovative designs that made much better use of the available space, including novel (for us) solutions like draws within draws, and a retractable electronic stack. - helped us navigate through the huge variety of designs and colours to find what worked for us. - develop a number of bespoke features, including metal panel with our own design. - helped us when, just after the kitchen was taken out, the level 4 lockdown started (March/April 2020). In the later stages of the lockdown, Wayge negotiated with contractors so that even during level 3 the work restarted, and we had a kitchen within a couple of weeks.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Thanks for the review Tony and Liz. This was one of those projects that required a close attention to detail. I enjoyed working with you to create a stunning and functional kitchen. Your openess to a bespoke approach made the project very rewarding. The screen is a definate highlight. It's not everyday I get to translate original artwork into my kitchen designs. All the best.

Dana Jacobson

Wayde was great to work with - he helped us step through every stage of our kitchen redesign, starting out with what we wanted from a vision perspective, right through to the smallest details of selecting lights, tiles, etc. Wayde was happy to go into the shops with us, provide some great starting options, and give us feedback if he felt our selections weren't going to be best in our kitchen. Thanks heaps Wayde!

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

It was my pleasure to help you both get a stunning and well-appointed kitchen. It can be tricky to integrate a laundry into a kitchen without compromising one for the other. Your renovation is a successful example of this. Thanks for being great a client.
Warm regards

Dan Williams

Wayde's design expertise and insights were invaluable in helping my team deliver a high quality kitchen and laundry space renovation earlier this year. His attention to detail was second to none and his devotion to ensuring the homeowners were comfortable with all aspects of the design and build process is unrivalled. I would not hesitate in recommending his services to anyone.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Thank you for the review Dan. It was a rewarding experience to work with Refresh Renovations on this project. Kind regards

Matthew Needham

Wayde’s eye for detail and his vision for linking the features of the house with new kitchen was absolutely outstanding. We were so happy with the final result and everyone who has seen the kitchen has been nothing but blown away with the design. Wayde recycled the original stainless steel bench tops which not only saved a significant sum, but also connected the old and the new. Highly recommend.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Thank you for the review Matthew. Your property presented some particular challenges which made the whole process more interesting. Thanks again. Wayde.

Janine H-L

We were undertaking a massive whole house renovation and reworking our kitchen was a major part of the renovation - we wanted a hub for our home and we wanted it to suit the practical needs of our family. We had loads of ideas about how we wanted the kitchen to look but we really needed a designer to add the practical design elements, provide us with product knowledge and to develop our ideas so it would work both aesthetically and tie in with the rest of our home. We were so relieved to have engaged Wayde from Wayde Beckman Design to design our kitchen. Wayde really listened to what we wanted, he didn't try to talk us out of what was important to us or send us down a different track. Being a creative, Wayde was able to fine-tune our ideas and add design flair and as a result, our completed kitchen is not only beautiful and stylish but it works, it flows and offers a hub for our home. We would definitely recommend Wayde Beckman Design.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Thanks Janine. It was a pleasure to work on this project with you. The result of your renovation is an outstanding and beautiful home.

Bryan Daley

Wayde transformed our small kitchen into a quality, modern and ergonomically designed kitchen. Wayde’s tradesmen are excellent producing high quality work in a professional and timely manner. The design and project management phases where excellent through careful listening and good communication. It was a pleasure to deal with Wayde, highly recommended.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

Thanks for the review and for the opportunity to assist in making the improvements to your home. Your new kitchen exemplifies how quality is achievable, even with a small footprint and moderate budget, when a customised design approach is taken. All the best.

Love the result- it’s much better than I imagined it could be at the start. Wayde is a talented designer who really looked after us though the process. He listened carefully to what we wanted and made suggestions that really helped, His communication with us was excellent, responding very quickly. More than happy to recommend him.

Comment from Wayde Beckman Design:

It was pleasure working with you both. You guys were the superb clients - considered decision making, creative and engaged - making the reasonably complicated renovation smooth with outstanding results. Thanks again.

Clare & Mark

Wayde made everything easy for us. He listened carefully to what we did and didn't want, and didn't try to force ideas on us. He made excellent suggestions within the brief that we gave. Wayde is fantastic at getting the most out of a small space and making the kitchen flow in a very practical way. We love the way his design looks and works. It has transformed our whole open plan living space. I don't know what we would have done without him project managing the actual fitout for us and it was great to know that he had it all in hand. There were a few little hiccups as with all projects, but Wayde responded promptly and his communication was excellent. This was the second time that we have used Wayde, and while we have no plans to move again soon, we wouldn't hesitate to use him again if we had another kitchen project.

Thanks very much for your review Clare and Mark. It was a great pleasure to help you create another functional and beautiful kitchen. Kind regards Wayde.

Marija Vidovich

I have friends who have used Wayde Beckman design over the years and was excited to engage Wayde when renovating our kitchen. We used Wayde's services for design and concept and were really happy with the options he presented us. We have, and will continue to, recommend Wayde to others as someone who listens to the brief and provides innovative but practical solutions. He is a pleasure to work with.
