Kitchen Design & Kitchen Cabinets : Some of Our Works
Kitchen Layout Mistakes You Don't Want to Make!
The areas of greatest activity such as the sink, stove and refrigerator require careful planning.
There should be clear easy access to all 3 items. Regardless of your kitchens, size or shape these 3 areas should be close together, however be positioned so people are not tripping over one another.
One of the biggest complaints is the lack of bench space.
Consider all the kitchen activities that require a benchtop as well as appliances that are left out permanently. You want to allow for as much open bench space as possible. If space allows a good solution for this is to add an island or breakfast bar.
Almost every kitchen has wasted space, however with adequate planning this can be minimised.
Consider installing extra tall cabinets for extra space. Install cabinets over the refrigerator and install shelves across the backs of lower kitchen cabinets.
Kitchen islands are great for additional storage, preparation and serving space.
But unless you have the space to allow for people to be able to move around it easily it may not be a good idea, and in fact waste space. Another important thing to think about is how you will incorporate power to your island.
Not using a professional to help with your ideas can be another expensive mistake.
At H&H Cabinets we offer an in-home consultation. We will go over your ideas and give our suggestions based on our years of experience.
What to think about when looking to renovate your kitchen
Before you start planning a new kitchen, the first thing to decide is whether you want to just update your existing kitchen or whether you want to do a complete renovation.
Work out what you like and what you don’t like, based on this we can advise what will work and if there is something better based on the size of your kitchen and the shape.
How much storage do you need? Based on your current kitchen do you have enough storage?
Where do you want to position the cupboards for your utensils, dinnerware and pots & pans? Having a large pantry is great for most families however accessing items at the back can be quite difficult, resulting in wastage of food. One of the best solutions for this is to use large pull-out drawers, allowing easy access to items stored at the very back.
What appliances or kitchen elements should be positioned close together, such as the fridge and cooking station?
Does the space required for your appliances need to be a special size? For example do you have a slim fridge or a large 2 door fridge?
Do you want to store your gadgets such as kettle and toaster in a cupboard to reduce bench top clutter?
For items that are used regularly this is not the most effective solution, however you can create a cupboard on the bench so appliances can be slid in and out of the cupboard on the bench easily.
Corner Kitchen Cabinet
You then have to figure out, based on the layout, any constraints that may need to be looked at such as size, the position of doors, the layout of kitchen etc. Corner kitchen cabinets can be very awkward and difficult to access. These days there are many accessories that pull-out for both under the bench and corner cabinets. A pull-out makes it easier to access items stored in the back of the cupboard allowing you to utilise the full space. Installing bi-fold doors on your kitchen cabinets allows you to leave the cupboard open whilst you are cooking with without it getting in the way. This is ideal for walk-in pantries, or internal laundries that are in your kitchen.
Custom Kitchen Cabinet
When it comes to kitchen cabinets, the sky is the limit. There are limitless options that will give you an opportunity to design the kitchen of your dreams. If budget is not a concern for you, you can consider installing custom kitchen cabinets. Custom kitchen cabinets are a favourite among homeowners because of the distinctive style that they provide to the kitchen space. Also, you get to enjoy the flexibility and highest quality of workmanship. When you opt for the cabinets, you will have to work closely with a cabinet designer or a cabinet maker and help him realize your dream. Custom cabinets are expensive because cabinet makers avoid using the inexpensive particleboard. It is the same reason why they are long-lasting. A kitchen is the heart of your home. And, it is essential that you design it according to your needs because you will be spending a large time in the kitchen. If you do not consider custom kitchen cabinets the best thing since sliced bread, here are a few reasons that will change your opinion.

The peace of mind in quality custom work

Maximise your storage space
You’ll want as much storage space as possible in your kitchen. A lot of re-designs make the mistake of installing less cabinetry than they actually have room for. This is wasted space that could be used for food storage, pots, pans and more. We can design a range of cabinet modifications that will truly make the most of all of your space, without sacrificing the visual aesthetic. A sleek, modern, minimalist kitchen with expansive amounts of storage is completely possible with our experts at the helm. This is particularly important if you live in a smaller apartment where maximising space has a direct impact on how comfortable you will be. A functional space with a stunning visual aesthetic comes down to smart planning, and the H&H Cabinets are the planning and execution experts.

Cabinets built to meet your specifications
Peace of mind that your order will suit the space
The ability to ensure they function in your preferred way

Your kitchen, your way
If you are considering a kitchen remodel, take the opportunity to truly design a space you will love to use. Off the shelf cabinets or flatpack, cabinets can be limiting and add unnecessary stress to your project if they turn out to be not quite right. Off the shelf or flat pack kitchens may also not meet Australian Standards (which can be a health concern).

Choose a completely customisable option with no sacrifice of the particular style or look you want.

Elements to consider when choosing kitchen cabinets
Your design decisions are important, as they will not only dictate the cost of your project but the style and finish you will see every day. Quality is crucial, and when it comes to cabinets, you really do get what you pay for.
The elements to consider will include:
- Kitchen Cupboards
- Kitchen Drawers
- Kitchen Storage Cabinets
- Kitchen Cabinetry Finishes and Materials
- Kitchen Benchtops
H&H Cabinets will help you consider the following elements and the impact they will have on your space:
Kitchen Cupboards
The doors, drawers and handles dictate the look and feel of your kitchen design and are the first thing to be noticed. Luckily, there is a wide range of options available, and we’ll work to make sure they suit the rest of your cabinetry.
Kitchen Cupboard Doors
You’ll need to consider options such as gloss, satin, shaker, panel, handleless doors, French provincial and more. This choice takes up a significant visual area of your kitchen, so it’s important that you find a style that you not only love but works with the other interior aspects of your home.
Kitchen Drawers
A great way to utilise space that is usually wasted. Advancements in drawer systems mean items are easy to store and access. Soft-close drawers, in particular, have come a long way. We can upgrade your current drawer options to provide more storage space, greater ease of use, more access those hard to reach places and whisper quite to close
Kitchen Bin Drawers
Hide your rubbish and save valuable floor space while making your kitchen visually more appealing. Add dual receptacles to make recycling or composting much easier. The correct storage of your kitchen bin and ease of access can also determine how hygienic the area will be.
Drawer Runners and Hinges
The hardware of your kitchen is the workhorse and needs to be of high quality to account for how much your cupboards and drawers will be opened and closed. Poor quality options save money initially but lead to expensive problems in a short space of time. Our hinges & drawers are backed by a lifetime warranty Kitchen benchtops are the work horse of the kitchen……….need to add something in here please
Take pride in your home
Fine details become much more significant when they are a part of your everyday life. There truly is no substitute for quality when it comes to the space you call home, and you will be glad you decided to opt for quality at the beginning of a remodel or build.
