We purchased our kitchen from Leicht San Diego and had it installed in 2025. We began working with Eva over two years ago while redesigning our entire kitchen space. She was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout the process, offering great ideas early on--even before we started moving walls. As the design evolved, we made several changes to the cabinet layout and colors. Now that the project has been complete for a few months, it's clear that all the planning was worth it. The kitchen is not only stunning but also highly functional. Switching from cupboards to drawers has significantly improved our storage, making everything more visible and accessible. We also love the clean, minimalist look of a German kitchen. The two Leicht installers were outstanding. Their precision and craftsmanship were truly impressive, and they played a key role in bringing the whole project together. We're extremely grateful for their work and couldn't be happier with the result. read more

We've had a great experience with Studio Europa. The staff is really professional, and the products are super high-quality. We love our kitchen cabinets. They helped us adjust our current kitchen to a new design that fit our needs better and coordinated with us through our insurance to remove and reinstall our cabinets. The removal and installation was seamless. The team is very good at what they do so you can't go wrong. read more

Outstanding service in both design and installation. I've wanted a LEICHT kitchen for many years and when the time came these folks delivered. I had three separate locations in my new house where installations of different sizes were required to suit different needs. All came out beautifully! read more

Great design services and installers are top notch and very precise. Execution was perfect and completed on time.

The team at Studio Europa did a fabulous job making our dream come true by creating a truly great and functional kitchen.

Studio Europa provides a great design service, high quality craftsmanship and an AMAZING final product. My vision for my kitchen was very modern and simplistic. I met with their designers, Kara and Ed, several times for them to create my "perfect kitchen"... they nailed it! My kitchen turned out better than expected. They even recommended which sinks and faucets to install. I then had them remodel my two bathrooms and design a TV wall media cabinet. Again, every project turned out great!! Their installation service was incredible. Everyone was professional and treated my home with respect, and kept their work clean and orderly. The workers all wore masks for Covid, and were definitely invested to ensure everything met my expectations. I love all the "wows" and compliments from my friends and neighbors. I definitely recommend them to others and hope to work with them again in the future. read more

The quality is great and it speaks for itself, however I would like to spotlight the service. I've been to other showrooms and some of them don't even greet me or require an appointment. Just to avoid the experiences at other places alone I recommend them... on top of that they do EVERYTHING. Full projects start to finish with extreme detail. They care about each of those details and the clients behind them. Did I mention they are also low priced? Go here. read more

Working with Markus was a total breeze. He and his crew finished my living room cabinetry exactly to the specs. I am very impressed with the craftsmanship and their attention to details. Great customer service too. This is a great company to work with. I will definitely come back to them for future remodeling projects. read more

Studio Europa - Interior Design Near Me - San Diego, California

This year I remodeled my two bathrooms in my East Village loft. My experience with several general contractors was horrible. The job took 7 months longer to complete than it should have. The only bright side of that horrible experience was Studio Europa! I showed them a photo of what I was looking for and they created a totally customized vanity and cabinet tower in my bathroom. Additionally, they built a custom exterior for my Jacuzzi/whirlpool spa. The wood was very high quality and the work was done on time and with the exceptional craftsmanship (all of the corners and joining edges are mitered) that the Swiss are known for! In the near future I will be adding custom wardrobes to my loft and I will utilize Eva and Markus because I know that I can trust them to do a great job and in today's world where work ethics and craftsmanship are lacking it is great to find someone that still has old-world work values. I recommend Studio Europa very highly!!!!! read more

I love the product but hated the service. Ed was definitely a pleasure to work with but somewhere along the way, the measurements for my kitchen were off. This resulted in both the upper and lower cabinets being "off" by several inches. Having them address this issue was like pulling teeth. I couldn't even believe that they seriously installed them and thought that it was ok (the sink was not centered with the kitchen window for example). It took over 6 months for my kitchen to be completed and several return visits to my home to have the cabinets properly installed. Actually, I am still missing a cap on one of the bottom cabinet ends but I am so over it that I will just let it be. It is really sad thought because I would have preferred to continue to work with the company for other rooms in my home for consistency. I will say that this is not an isolated event as a friend of mine received similarly horrible service at Leicht OC. I gave 2 stars because I do love my cabinets and Ed was very helpful. If you decide to use Leicht, I recommend having your contractor check all of their work thoroughly. read more

When it comes to the best in cabinet fabrication and installation, look no further than Studio Europa. Studio Europa did an expert job at turning my designs into an exquisitely built kitchen. Ed and Kara were utterly professional, helpful, and excellent at communicating and problem solving. As an out of state designer working on a house in Rancho Santa Fe, I wouldn't even think of using anyone else for cabinetry. This studio had my back and worked seamlessly with our entire team. If I could, I'd give this group ten stars! - Beth Pilar Strongwater, studiostrongwater read more

I was hopeful to have a positive experience with Markus Zaugg & Studio Europa as I had a strong referral for their services. Unfortunately, I had to deal with unprofessional behavior, no responses to emails, poor customer service and poor decision making. This led to loss of trust in Markus and Studio Europa. One of Markus' employees - Corrado Tona - made numerous poor professional decisions. Those decisions reflect not only the employee - but the employer who hired that person. Corrado attempted to switch out a pot filler without shutting off the water main to the house! It was a terrible lack of judgment. That led to a flooding of the kitchen and numerous damage to cabinets, etc. This experience not only inconvenienced my family, but also created more stress and anxiety. We had no kitchen & blowers/vacuum dryers were creating noise for numerous days. I was also charged for hotel rooms, set-up time, meals and mileage/driving hours. I had never heard of being charged those fees, but given that I was referred to Markus by a trusted person - I was willing to handle the extra cost. That turned out to be a nightmare as Corrado was gone for 3-4 hours one day (doing some work at another job I presume) and yet I was charged the full amount for all of the aforementioned fees. Corrado did not even communicate with me that he was leaving for another job! He simply disappeared and I had no idea where he was. I requested that I pay a percentage of those fees based on the number of hours worked at the 2 job sites, but Markus required that I pay 100% of the fees. Additionally, the hours logged at my house did not line up with the hours that Corrado was actually at my house. The lack of honesty is absolutely the worst. I brought up these issues to Markus and he simply ignored my concerns. I will absolutely pay what is owed for service, but I draw the line with dishonest logging of hours. I attempted to find a resolution, but Markus refused to answer my emails. Corrado also made a huge error in ordering the glass backsplash & because of that, he had to return for yet ANOTHER day of labor! Of course, this meant that I had to pay for an additional day of hotel, set-up time, meals, mileage/driving fees. Markus should not have charged me for that final day of work given that Corrado returned only because HE made the error! It is infuriating that a worker can make a mistake & it costs the client even more money because of that mistake. Markus or Corrado should have eaten the cost of Corrado needing to return to my house for yet another day. Additionally, Corrado attempted to fix my motorized cabinets. He spent numerous hours on the cabinets and after paying hundreds of dollars in labor & parts, the cabinets actually work worse than before! Again, I requested that Markus stand behind his employee's work and ensure the cabinets are working (or refund the labor which made it worse), but again - he ignored my emails and still forced me to pay for the labor. (Labor which made my cabinets worse!) Markus also ordered tabletops for my kitchen. The tabletops developed cracks & I inquired about a warranty. I soon learned that Markus ordered the wrong tabletops - not the Matte Laminate ones which are more durable and can withstand some moisture. Markus ordered regular glososy cabinet panels which are not able to withstand ANY moisture! Why would someone order a tabletop in a KITCHEN that cannot take any moisture! I had hoped that Markus would at least some responsibility for his incorrect ordering, but no - he yet again ignores my emails and continues to be unprofessional. I am writing this review to hopefully save a future client from dealing with this unprofessional business. It is really a disgrace that people work hard for their money & expect to receive a service - but instead end up dealing with people who have no regard for the customer. If asked, I would recommend steering clear of Studio Europa & Markus Zaugg. If I'm able to spare one family the nightmare of dealing with this company - then this review is worth it. read more

Studio Europa just finished a complete remodel of a bathroom in my home. They took care of every step: estimate, design, material, demolition, installation and finishing. They are one of the most professional companies I've ever worked with, and the first builder I've employed to complete the job on time. Thanks to Studio Europa I now have a modern bathroom 100% designed to my taste. I will not hesitate to employ them for my next job, and highly recommend them. read more

Studio Europa was recommended to me by others in my condo development as a company that designed and built high quality cabinetry to meet the client's needs. Eva met with me numerous times and drew up several floor plans for my loft. She helped me choose the materials and then ordered LEICHT cabinetry from Germany. She and Markus met with my other contractor to trouble-shoot electrical connections, etc. I was kept up to date at all points regarding scheduling and progress. For installation, Andre and his assistant were professional, efficient, and pleasant to work with. They fine-tuned the installation by consulting with Eva and with me at all times. Here's the best part: Not only is Studio Europa a breeze to work with, the quality of their product is TERRIFIC. I've had them do some custom cabinetry (platform bed, media unit) in addition to the LEICHT cabinetry. I'll be happy to have them design my kitchen when I'm ready to do that in the future. Visitors to my loft reinforce my judgment that I made the right choice. Everyone raves about the design, quality, and utility of the cabinetry. My (relatively small) loft is packed with style and storage room. I highly recommend working with Eva and Markus (and Andre and crew). They deliver value with a modern European sense of style. read more
