Sarah is an incredibly committed individual with a high level of integrity and passion for each project she engages in and takes a huge amount of pride in all her work which is echoed in her attention to detail.
"No matter how large or small your project, I always recommend that you give yourself plenty of time. Time to feel confident in all your decisions, giving every space and detail the thought and attention it requires until the best possible outcome is achieved."
Kyla Potter
With a passion for all things involving design, Kyla not only immerses herself with Kitchens and Interiors but also loves following architecture, construction, art and fashion which all help influence her work. Kyla joined Carlielle Kitchens in 2006 after graduating from the Auckland School of Interior Design. Since then her fresh approach and undeniable sense of style has made the difference to the many Carlielle clients that she has worked with - exceeding expectations with innovative solutions that really showcase the client’s individual personality.
Right from day one, Kyla has impressed everyone at Carlielle Kitchens with her bubbly personality, her energy and her efficiency. It takes real professionalism to not only come up with excellent design solutions on time and on budget, but also communicate them well with clients, outside suppliers and on-site trades people. While having exceptional talent in designing contemporary and modern kitchens, Kyla has also completed a number of beautiful traditional kitchens which fit well into the country homes surrounding her Pukekohe home town.
Having just built a new home with her partner who is also in the building industry, Kyla understands how important it is to build a close relationship with your designer and trades people, this will give you the best result possible and help take the stress out of your project.
“The kitchen is truly the hub of any home. My aim is to assist you in creating a functional and innovative space that meets all the practical requirements of your lifestyle, whilst being unique and personal to you.”
