Kitchens for Brisbane homes

Brisbane's classic renovation is the Queenslander: a timber home on stumps with VJ walls and high ceilings, and often a "raise and build under" that adds a whole new level. Walls in older timber homes are rarely perfectly straight, so we measure carefully and scribe panels to fit.

Humidity is the other local factor. Plywood carcasses, sealed edges and good ventilation around the sink and dishwasher help cabinetry last through Brisbane summers. For new homes on the northside and southside, the focus is usually open-plan kitchens that flow out to the deck.

Before you start in Queensland

Electrical, plumbing and gas connections must be done by licensed tradespeople. Your local partner coordinates them, or works alongside your own trades.

Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos, for example in fibro sheeting, old vinyl flooring and splashback backing boards. Have it checked before the old kitchen comes out.

Questions about kitchens in Brisbane

How much does a custom kitchen cost in Brisbane?
It depends on the length of cabinetry, the door finish, the layout, the benchtop and the installation. We don't publish prices: your local partner measures for free and gives you an itemised written quote. → /pricing
Are your cabinets suited to Brisbane's humidity?
They're built on maple plywood carcasses, which cope with humidity better than standard particleboard. Ventilation and sealing around wet areas still matter, and we plan for both.
Can you fit a kitchen in a Queenslander?
Yes. We measure the actual walls and floors, which are often out of square in older timber homes, and scribe panels to fit.
Is the measure really free?
Yes. In every city we cover, a local partner measures for free, and the measure and your written quote come with no obligation to go ahead.
