The KBDi designer awards for 2023 have arrived. Kitchens and bathrooms have never looked so good!
The KBDi Designer Awards are a not-to-be-missed event in any kitchen or bathroom designer’s calendar. For consumers looking to buy, update or renovate, this is a chance to not only celebrate amazing work, but also research styles and trends that will dominate the market in the future. Almost 200 guests gathered for a night of wining, dining and plenty of celebrations at the KBDi Designer Awards Gala in Brisbane on Saturday, 19 August, 2023.
The awards were held at The Rivershed, Howard Smith Wharves, and the guest list included many of Australia’s finest kitchen and bathroom designers. The industry’s most trusted suppliers enjoyed the celebrations too, and design educators from across the country joined their students on this night of nights.
Of course, the highlight of the evening was the much-awaited presentation of the Kitchen & Bathroom Institute’s top three national awards. We’re sharing all the winners here.

KBDi Designer Members must pass a comprehensive portfolio submission and intensive peer review to earn their accreditation and CKD (Certified Kitchen Designer) or CBD (Certified Bathroom Designer) post-nominals. Finalists in this particular category face similar scrutiny when submitting their awards, with the judges looking for the highest standard of documentation and design.
