The husband-and-wife team began their kitchen design business in 2003 with the vision to open a premium design studio that showcased state-of-the-art kitchen displays

Over the past two decades, the business has won a raft of retailer, showroom and project awards.

Before embarking on a career in the kitchen industry, Keith and Helena previously worked in global sales and account management in IT and pensions business process management in insurance.

However, trained in engineering design and interior design, they gained architectural, interior and spatial design experience from overseeing three complete home renovations in their spare time.

Starting from a home study, in 2007 the design duo found a fireplace showroom which they turned into their design studio, remodelling the space to showcase kitchens and converting the original garage into their  ‘designer’s hub’ space.

As their business grew, Keith they expanded the studio to twice the size in 2015, measuring 210 sqm contemporary, and featuring eggersmann, Copatlife, KH Kitchens and SieMatic over the years.

Keith Myers recently spoke to KBN about broadening the supplier offer, in the showroom, and what he considered when taking on new brands.

Their pioneering approach to kitchen design led Keith and Helena Myers to regularly host and take part in industry talks at RIBA, The KBSA, Grand Designs Live and Ask the Expert, KBIS (virtual), and The Homebuilding & Renovating Show.

In 2022 Helena Myers was invited to American trade show KBIS, where she took part in a talk alongside other American industry experts.

Keith Myers is also a regional director of the KBSA and a former regional director of SBID.

Keith and Helena Myers said “After 21 years of fun and adventure in the world of kitchens, we have decided to retire.

“It’s not been an easy decision, as it’s never a good time to say goodbye to our studio, our wonderfully supportive and talented staff team, as well as the friends and partners we have enjoyed such fulfilling relationships with over the past two decades.

“We are proud of what made our business stand apart in an ever-competing industry – our design approach has always been to ensure each of our designs enriches household relationships first and foremost and the homeowner’s quality of life through the efficiency, relevance and beauty of their designed spaces bringing into a home what we are renowned for –creating kitchens with light, space and laughter.

“We look forward to saying a personal thank you to our amazing staff for their long-term commitment and hard work over the years.

“We also want to thank our customers and industry friends who we have had the pleasure to get to know personally and professionally throughout our business journey

“It was our vision in 2003 to create an award-winning showroom in the heart of our home town of Winchester and looking back we are proud to have achieved that and been privileged to have designed many exceptional kitchen living spaces for homeowners across the UK and Europe.

“We will be watching from the sidelines at the future of an industry which we love, and we hope it continues to get the recognition that designers across the UK deserve”

All business enquiries about the purchase of the studio should be made in writing directly to directors@themyerstouch.co.uk

They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.

Inspired by Ancient Rome,  Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.

While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).
