Our History
In 2005 Cucina Bella recognized a need in the marketplace for high quality cabinetry that was both attractive and exceedingly effective.
To create beautiful cabinetry, Cucina Bella works with Canadian manufacturers that craft excellent cabinets with endless customization in material and design options.
To create effectiveness Cucina Bella’s designers are certified through the NKBA and are committed to incorporating design style, vision and lifestyle needs of our clients, while providing education and guidance during the design process.
By focusing on both charm and function Cucina Bella has had the privilege of making our customers aspirations, a reality.

Holly Elliott IDT
Holly has earned not only her diploma in Interior Design Technology from N.A.I.T. but as well as her Bachelors of Applied Interior Design from Mount Royal University.
Cucina Bella is thrilled to have Holly’s attention to detail. She will always make a conscious effort to understand cause instead of just the effects and this comes to her as second nature. She has been in the commercial cabinetry and custom millwork industry since 2011 and has worked with high end residential cabinetry since 2017. Holly supports our clients with exceptional customer service as well as assisting Rebecca with her roll.
Holly is mom to a sweet little boy and girl! When Holly isn’t working on cabinetry projects you can find her into more “crafty” type endeavors like sewing and scrapbooking. In the summer she enjoys camping and golfing (encouraged by her enthusiastic hubby) and just being outside.
Keira BDes & MDes
Keira loves the thrill of solving a design challenge – whether it’s optimizing your space-planning or creating a cohesive overall ‘look & feel’ style. There’s nothing like the satisfaction of bringing a project to life – from ideas & sketches on paper to a polished & livable finished space in physical reality. Creating harmonious living spaces is the goal – whether the aim is to create a space that’s great to entertain in, unwind in, or raise a family in – Keira strives to design with beauty, function, innovation & sustainability in mind.
Many of Keira’s clients have said that she has come up with unique design & space planning solutions that they never would have thought of on their own. She also works to meet the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s design standards & residential building codes in all of her projects.
Keira completed her Bachelor of Design degree at the University of Alberta in 2007. She received her Masters of Design degree from the European Design Institute in Madrid, Spain, in 2009 where she was mentored by world-class interdisciplinary designers and architects.
In addition to working as a designer, Keira also teaches yoga, meditation and cross-country skiing. She is a lover of nature, travel, culture, art, languages, mysticism & spirituality. In 2022 Keira spent 10 weeks in Hawai’i working as the lead interior designer on the renovation of a yoga retreat center. From re-designing the kitchen and bathrooms to selecting paint colours, flooring, tiles, lighting, plumbing fixtures, furniture & décor – this was a dream project for Keira – oh, and did we mention – she also taught some ocean-side yoga while she was there!
If you’d like to collaborate with Keira on the design of your Dream Kitchen – big or small – give her a call.
