Custom cabinetry
for every room
We design and manufacture custom cabinetry for every room in your home — from full kitchen renovations and built-in wardrobes to bathroom vanities, laundry cabinets, and entertainment units. Everything is built in-house at our Coorparoo workshop, so we control quality from first cut to final fitting.
Kitchens
The heart of the renovation
Custom kitchens are our most requested service — and the most impactful renovation you can make to a home. We work with you from first sketch through to finished installation, producing everything in-house at our Coorparoo workshop.
We handle all layouts: U-shape, L-shape, galley, single-wall, and island configurations. Whether you're renovating an existing kitchen or fitting out a new build, we work from measurements or architectural plans.
- Full kitchen renovations
- New build fit-outs
- Island bench additions
- Kitchen extensions and reconfigurations
- Scullery and butler's pantry cabinetry
Timber-look melamine
The warmth of timber, built to last
Timber-look melamine boards like Laminex Planked Urban Oak deliver the character of natural grain without the maintenance of real timber. Hard-wearing and moisture-resistant, they're a practical choice for kitchens where texture and warmth matter as much as durability.
Display & open storage
Show what you have
Open display sections, integrated lighting, and feature shelving can turn a wardrobe into a dressing room statement. We design display zones alongside hanging and drawer storage so everything has a place — and the pieces worth seeing are on show.
Wardrobes
Built-in and walk-in wardrobes
Custom built-in wardrobes make the most of your available space — every centimetre is designed to work for you. We build standard built-ins, corner wardrobes, and full walk-in configurations.
Interiors are fully configurable: hanging rails at single or double height, shelving, drawers, pull-out organisers, and shoe racks. We produce detailed renders so you can plan the interior before anything is built.
- Built-in wardrobes with custom interiors
- Walk-in wardrobes and dressing rooms
- Corner and angled wardrobe configurations
- Sliding and hinged door options
- Mirror and feature panel doors
Entertainment & Living
Living spaces and home offices
Built-in entertainment units, study nooks, home office cabinetry, and custom shelving all fall within our scope. These pieces are built to the same standard as our kitchens — precision-cut in our workshop, finished to your specification.
If you have an alcove, an awkward wall, or a specific layout in mind, we can design around it. Built-in joinery integrates with your architecture in a way off-the-shelf furniture never will.
- Built-in TV and entertainment units
- Home office cabinetry and desks
- Study nooks and built-in bookshelves
- Alfresco and outdoor kitchen cabinetry
- Under-stair storage solutions
Bathrooms & Laundries
Vanities and utility cabinetry
Bathroom vanities and laundry cabinets are areas where quality materials matter — constant humidity and daily use make durability essential. We build custom vanities to your exact dimensions, with your choice of finish and hardware.
Laundry cabinetry is often an afterthought, but a well-designed laundry makes daily life significantly easier. We can design full laundry storage solutions — above the tub, beside it, or floor-to-ceiling — to maximise the room.
- Custom bathroom vanities — single and double
- Shaving cabinets and mirror units
- Freestanding and wall-hung vanities
- Full laundry storage fit-outs
- Linen presses and linen tower cabinets
Laundry cabinetry
A laundry worth using
A well-designed laundry makes daily life easier. We build full laundry fit-outs — overhead cabinets, underbench storage, and linen towers — in any finish, including 2Pac for a sharp, easy-clean result. Colour and layout are fully custom to your space.
Materials & Finishes
Choose your finish
Melamine
Most popular
Durable, cost-effective, and available in hundreds of colours and wood grain patterns. Matt and smooth finishes available. The most popular choice for kitchens and wardrobes.
2Pac
Premium finish
A polyurethane paint finish applied over MDF, producing a flawlessly smooth, high-end result. Available in any colour. Adds 30–50% to cabinetry cost, with fancier profiles and colours pushing higher still — sometimes overtaking timber veneer.
Timber Veneer
Natural warmth
Real wood veneer over a stable substrate. Provides the warmth and character of natural timber at a more accessible price than solid wood. Adds ~30–40% vs melamine.
Samples for all finishes are available at our showroom at 51 Cavendish Rd, Coorparoo. We encourage you to visit before deciding — colours vary considerably on screen vs. in person.
Common questions
How long does a custom kitchen take from start to finish?
A standard kitchen runs 7–9 weeks from deposit to completion — 1–2 weeks for design and renders, 4–5 weeks for production, and 1–2 days for installation. Stone benchtops add roughly a week after cabinet installation for templating and fabrication.
What's included in a kitchen cabinetry quote?
Our quotes cover cabinet design, manufacture, and installation. Stone benchtops are quoted separately through our stonemason partners. Appliances can also be quoted through Winning Appliances or RT Edwards if needed.
Can I supply my own handles and hardware?
Yes. If you have specific handles in mind, we'll need measurements to allow for correct drilling. Alternatively, we carry a range of hardware in our Coorparoo showroom — you're welcome to visit and choose.
Do you work on both renovations and new builds?
We work on both. For renovations, we coordinate removal of existing cabinetry (typically the day before installation). For new builds, we work directly from architectural plans and coordinate with your builder.
Can you match existing cabinetry in another room?
In most cases yes, particularly with melamine finishes where colour matching is straightforward. For 2Pac and veneer, we'll discuss options during the quoting stage.
