Michael Murray Studio. Michael Murray Studio is an Auckland-based high end interior design practice creating calm, contemporary spaces grounded in natural materials and thoughtful detail. Working across kitchens, bathrooms, and full residential projects throughout New Zealand, the studio focuses on honest craftsmanship and quiet luxury — design that feels timeless rather than trend-driven. Each project balances function and emotion, helping clients remove the noise of daily life and return to something slower, softer, and deeply personal. As a full-service designer and supplier, Michael Murray Studio manages every stage — from concept and spatial planning to material specification and installation. Design fees start from $4,000 NZD + GST for a kitchen design and extend up to $30,000 NZD + GST for a full home design scope of approximately 1,000 m², with each proposal tailored to the project’s scope, pace, and level of detail.  Whether reimagining an inner-city apartment or a coastal retreat, Michael Murray Studio brings a refined yet approachable sensibility to every interior. ​ "Our spaces have the power to influence our mood and state of mind. It is my passion to create environments which people feel connected to. I see space as visual representation of personal expression". ​ Michael has been within the design industry many years and holds a Bachelor's Degree in Design from AUT & Diploma in Kitchen Design from the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association (NKBA). ​Michael’s creativity has been recognized throughout his career with a number of Awards (National Kitchen & Bathroom Awards + Tida Trends Awards). TIDA Trends Awards Winner, Highley Commended 2022 NKBA Kitchen Distinction Award: 25 - 40k Winner, 2021 NKBA Kitchen Distinction Award Under 25k Runner Up, 2020 NKBA Highly Commended Student Award, 2019 NKBA Waikato Chapter Recognition Winner, 2018 NKBA Kitchen Distinction up to 25k Winner, 2018 NKBA Certified Designer Society Winner, 2018
