The most important thing about a project is that the client is thrilled with the outcome, but it’s also nice to receive external recognition from others in the design industry. I’m so thrilled to have been able to spend time in Sydney in August for the annual KBDi (Kitchen and Bathroom Design Institute) conference. Each year we convene for two days to learn, network and recognise the enormous effect and creativity of designers in our field.
In 2026, Disko Designs was a finalist for 3 projects. Two bathrooms and a kitchen. Each with very different clients, designs and briefs. It was a welcome surprise to be awarded KBDi Winner 2026 – Small Kitchens QLD (under 14m2). It was the cherry on top for the weekend, and very affirming to have others evaluate and acknowledge all the hard work that goes into a project.
You can see all Diskos entries for this year below.

Ganges Kitchen
A thoughtfully designed West End kitchen renovation converting an enclosed U-shaped kitchen into a refined galley layout. Stainless steel benchtops, custom joinery, and a feature tiled splashback create a space that’s both practical and expressive.
Alexandra Bathroom
Complete Bathroom renovation by Disko Designs transforms a dated Queenslander bathroom into a warm, textural, and highly functional space. Featuring zellige tiles, terrazzo flooring, custom vanity, and layered lighting, this Brisbane bathroom renovation balances timeless design with practical family living.
Cosker Bathroom
A considered bathroom renovation in Annerley that resolves layout challenges, enhances storage, and introduces a calm, contemporary palette inspired by the character of the existing Queenslander home, with improved functionality and refined detailing throughout.
