Plan your Kitchen
5 Easy Steps
KITCHENS ARE EASIER AT KITCHEN SHACK. HERE'S 5 SIMPLE STEPS TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS
Your DIY Kitchen renovation made easy.
Creating your dream kitchen is easier at Kitchen Shack.
Your designer is here to help. Guiding you through every step of the way from start to finish.
All renovations start with a spark of inspiration or a moment of frustration. Identify what you do and don’t like in your current kitchen space.
Perhaps you need more storage, or your kitchen no longer functions for the growing needs of your family.
Take note of how you live in your existing kitchen and how you use it. Do you prefer drawers to cabinets or do you need more bench space.
Before meeting your Kitchen Shack Designer gather inspiration, view our case studies or Instagram and collect images that you love that will suit your budget.
For your Kitchen Shack Design Appointment we’ll need measurements of your current kitchen or laundry space.
Remember to include features like windows, doors, architraves, electrical points, plumbing. We also provide a free home check measure if you buy from us.
For detailed information view our step by step measuring tips here.
Your Kitchen Shack Designer will listen carefully to your needs and maximise all areas of your space to design a functional kitchen or laundry that looks great and caters to your individual needs.
Allow 90-120 minutes for designing. It’s important all involved parties attend so everyone can have input into the design and product selection.
We know you’ll be surprised at our Lowest Prices Guaranteed* where we will beat any price for the same design, product and service by 5%.
Once you are happy with your selections and final design, you’ll sign a Contract and pay a 25% deposit.
Final measurements and appliance details are required before your order can be placed into production. Production time is usually 4-6 weeks depending on demand. During this time you would contact your Recommended Installer who can also assist with sub trades.
Your Kitchen Shack Designer will be your single point of contact from design to completion.
Removal of your old kitchen takes 1-2 days. Recommended Installer and trades will disconnect old services to prepare for the new. Remember, at this stage you will have limited access to your kitchen so you might like to set up a temporary kitchen or enjoy takeaway!
Your new cabinetry will be delivered to your door. The transport company will contact you within 2 weeks of delivery to advise the specific day and time that your kitchen will be delivered.
You can choose to DIY the installation, but this is not easy unless you are experienced in this area. That’s why 95% of our customers opt to use our Recommended Installers to save time and headaches.
If you have selected laminate benchtops these will be fitted at the same time as your kitchen. However, if you choose stone this will be 2-3 weeks after your kitchen cabinetry installation.
Once benchtops are fitted the plumber and electrician return for final fit off. Then the final plastering, splashback, and painting takes place before you can enjoy with family and friends!
