Cabinet making is an essential skill in enabling your kitchen renovation to be a successful and practical operation. This involves you consulting with a tradesperson who is skilled in the art of joinery and woodworking to construct suitable storage and shelving solutions for your kitchen. This is often a customised task, due to the multitude of dimensions and configurations possible in any kitchen. Cabinet makers may construct a variety of elements in a kitchen, primarily though not exclusively in wood. This includes: shelving systems, cupboards, drawer systems and wall units.

Renovating your kitchen is a complex task, so make sure you are adequately prepared by following these simple tips:

• plan - work with your designer and/or cabinet maker to ensure you have the most practical kitchen after your renovation
• workspace - plan enough workspace and food preparation areas, adding space via the use of butchers blocks or central islands
• height - use the full height of your kitchen to maximise storage space in your cupboards
• style - coordinate the style of your kitchen with the rest of your home
• timber - if you are using timber products choose durable hardwoods
• appliances - select practical and durable appliances and fittings
• focal point - a large sink or stainless steel oven can create an amazing focal point for your kitchen
