Custom Kitchen, Designed around You

When it comes to custom kitchens, a thoughtful and professional design is just as important as the quality of the finished product. That’s why we have a team of skilled kitchen designers, following a proven design process, ready to assist you.

Transform Your Kitchen with an Expert Kitchen Designer

In the process of a kitchen renovation, a well-planned and thoughtfully designed kitchen is essential for a smooth and stress-free renovation, ensuring both functionality and a stunning final result.

Creating a custom kitchen means balancing practicality, style, and durability, while managing potential site challenges and the overall renovation budget. While interior designers and planning software can be helpful, the guidance of a dedicated kitchen designer makes a real difference from the start.

With over 80 years combined experience, our kitchen designers bring expert knowledge in interior design, product selection, custom cabinetry configuration, project planning, and renovation costings. They will guide you through layouts, finishes, and materials options, helping your kitchen project stay on budget while achieving your vision.

Design Your Dream Kitchen with Complete Kitchens

A kitchen design that ignores budget is not practical. Likewise, a quote without proper design has little meaning in a custom kitchen renovation. Thoughtful planning and accurate costing must work together.

At Complete Kitchens, we offer a specialized In-home design consultation with detailed costing service, providing a complete and transparent design experience. Our designers visit your home, measure the space, and take the time to understand your style, needs, and preferences. They work closely with you to develop a design concept that reflects your personality while aligning with your renovation budget.

You will receive a comprehensive proposal outlining detailed costings for cabinetry, benchtops, accessories, delivery, and installation, together with optional trade work estimates, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

FAQ

What styles of kitchens do you design?

We design custom kitchens across a wide range of styles, tailored to suit your home, lifestyle and personal vision. Whether you are drawn to modern kitchen design or something more unique, we create spaces that are both practical and built to last.

Our expertise includes contemporary, modern and minimalist kitchens, as well as classic, Hamptons and French provincial kitchen designs. We also specialize in Scandi, Japandi, industrial, transitional, mid-century and art deco kitchens. By considering the character of your home and suburb, we can further refine your kitchen into modern country, farmhouse or coastal styles, ensuring a cohesive and well-balanced result. No matter the style, one principle always remains: a well- designed kitchen must be highly functional.

Do you offer free kitchen design consultations?

We offer an in-home design consultation for a small, redeemable fee of $275. This includes two meetings where our designers will create, draw, and present your kitchen concept in 3D, along with a detailed costing and itemized trades proposal. The fee is fully credited towards your quotation if you proceed with us. This approach ensures our designers can dedicate proper time and careful thought to your kitchen, rather than providing a rushed or high-pressure service.

Visit our Design & Costing page to learn more about how our consultation works.

How long does the kitchen design process take?

Following your initial consultation, our design team generally requires 1-1.5 week to prepare and present a comprehensive proposal. This includes a 3D design concept, detailed cabinetry and benchtop costings, along with estimated trade works – subject to the complexity of your space and specific requirements.

Once you proceed to contract, the refinement and confirmation of all design details, colours, appliances selections and accessory specifications typically take a further 2-3 weeks. We then move to site check and preparation of production drawings prior to manufacturing.

How does kitchen design differ from interior design?

Kitchen design is specialized and focuses on functionality, workflow, storage, cabinetry, and materials – all tailored to your daily use and lifestyle. A kitchen designer also considers budget and renovation costs to deliver a complete, practical kitchen.

Interior design focuses on overall style, colour, furniture, and décor across the home. While interior designers may suggest cabinets or appliances, they usually don’t provide detailed joinery plans or take responsibility for the final kitchen outcome.
