Is DIY Flat Pack Worth the Trouble?

Is DIY Flat Pack Worth the Trouble? 

Have you previously bought flat pack furniture? Was your end result something like: quirkily slanting bookshelves, or some left-over mystery screws? If so, you’ll want to have a good think about whether purchasing a flat pack kitchen is the way to go for you. Perhaps you’d be better off with a custom built kitchen instead!?

Let’s explore below: 

  • Flat Pack vs Custom Kitchens: What’s the Difference?
  • The Must-have Skills to get Flat Pack Right
  • What Can Go Wrong with Flat Pack Installation? 
  • Want a Custom Kitchen in a Single Day?

Custom vs Flat Pack: What’s the Difference?

In the past, flat pack kitchens were often of very poor quality, but this has largely changed. Nowadays there’s not a lot of difference in quality between a good flat pack and a good custom kitchen. At Express Kitchens we still think custom kitchens are better, but we would say that, we make all our own cabinetry!

The key difference is of course that your custom kitchen will be completely assembled and installed for you while you’ll need to assemble your flat pack kitchen yourself, and then decide whether you are qualified to do the install yourself.

The Must-have Skills to get Flat Pack Right

You’ll find that many flat pack suppliers recommend you hire a carpenter to actually install the kitchen. If you decide to go flat pack to save money, you’ll therefore need to factor in the call-out fees and labour costs associated with hiring a carpenter, plus a plumber and potentially an electrician too.

Determined to go DIY with the installation? It’s worthwhile doing a bit of planning and preparation to make sure you have the adequate tools and knowledge to pull off a flawless job. 

Below are the key tasks you’ll need to be across to install your own kitchen: 

  • Select the correctly sized and shaped flat pack cabinets to match your space – naturally, this involves taking measurements of the spaces to fill, and matching up measurements with your large appliances and benchtops
  • Assemble the cabinetry
  • Install the cabinetry – note a long list of tools is required for this activivity
  • Cut a hole in the benchtop for the sink
  • Install the sink and connect the plumbing – you’ll need a professional plumber to complete the second half of this step as legally, almost all plumbing tasks must be completed by a qualified professional in Queensland
  • Install the benchtops

What Can Go Wrong With Flat Pack Installation?

As with any DIY project, things can go horribly wrong if you’re not 100% up to the task.

Without the benefit of a kitchen designer creating a custom kitchen, you can end up with problems including: 

  • Cabinetry that doesn’t quite line up – giving your kitchen a wonky feel
  • Overhead and base cabinets that don’t align – again creating an unpleasant aesthetic. This goes back to your design experience and whether you have a good sense of how to ‘balance’ a space
  • Cabinet doors which smack into your dishwasher or fridge
  • The wrong shaped hole for the sink – cutting the perfect hole actually takes a bit of skill!
  • The wall lining where you intended to install cabinets can’t actually support the weight

Want a Custom Kitchen in a Single Day?

In the flat pack vs custom kitchen decision, one point in favour of flat packs would appear to be you can get the job done when you need it. However, flat pack installation can take you a large chunk of time. Depending on your skill level, you may need to allow up to a week, especially if you make any of the mistakes mentioned above and plumbers or carpenters aren’t available when you need them.

At Express Kitchens we can have your new custom kitchen installed in a single day, meaning minimal inconvenience. *Conditions Apply

5 Simple Steps to Your Complete Kitchen Makeover

5 Simple Steps to Your Complete Kitchen Makeover

Do you need a kitchen makeover, but feel overwhelmed by the process? It doesn’t have to be like that! If you find the right kitchen installer, the process can be smooth and simple, with minimal disruption. In fact, at Express Kitchens we can get your entire kitchen makeover done in five simple steps. Let’s take a look: 

  • Step 1 – Assess your current kitchen 
  • Step 2 –  Benefit from a complimentary in-home consultation  
  • Step 3 – Confirm your design selection and choice of materials 
  • Step 4 – Vacate your kitchen for one day 
  • Step 5 – Enjoy the functionality and aesthetics of your new kitchen!

Step 1 – Assess Your Current Kitchen 

For this first step the ball is in your court! It’s really about taking the time to think about what you want your kitchen to be. Ask yourself, what elements of the kitchen work well? What’s not working? What do you need your kitchen to have that it’s currently lacking?

This might include features like: 

  • A different kitchen layout to make the kitchen more functional and/or spacious
  • More storage space; perhaps even a butler’s pantry
  • More direct sunlight; this might mean knocking down a non-load-bearing wall
  • A kitchen island – islands are hugely popular for the social interactions they help facilitate 

Step 2 – Benefit from a Complimentary In-Home Consultation

For a professional kitchen designer to really get a sense of your style and taste and of how your kitchen relates to the rest of the house, an in-home consultation is a must. At Express Kitchens we offer an obligation-free one hour in-home consult to make sure we understand what you want. Our kitchen makeovers Brisbane are driven by our customers’ vision however, our experienced kitchen designers can also advise you on what will work best with the space you have, and make suggestions you may not have considered.

As part of your kitchen makeover consultation, our kitchen designer will input your vision into our 3D software. Using this type of software gives you a number of advantages when compared with relying on 2D drawings including:

  • It allows you to easily experiment with different designs and layouts. 
  • It gives you a very clear sense of how your kitchen will look, meaning you’ll actually get the kitchen you want
  • And perhaps the biggest advantage? 3D design can save you money; because it gives you an accurate sense of how your kitchen will look, you’re far less likely to change plans halfway through 

Step 3 – Confirm Your Design Selection and Materials 

The 3D design visualisation should have given you a very clear understanding of how different designs will look in the space you have. So the next step is really a matter of selecting your favourite layout and then deciding on materials. At Express Kitchens, we like to keep our kitchen makeovers Brisbane simple; so once you’ve settled on your layout and design features all you really need to consider is: 

  • Benchtops – would you prefer affordable and stylish laminate? If so you can choose from a huge range of designs and colours. Or; opt for engineered stone, also in a large range of designs and colours, from some of Australia’s top tier stone manufacturers
  • Cabinets – We manufacture our own cabinets and have found designer white is far and away the most popular colour choice, both because white never dates and because it brightens up any space

Step 4 – Vacate Your Kitchen for One Day

Treat yourself to an early cafe breakfast and come home to cook dinner in your new kitchen. Literally one day is all we need to remove your old kitchen and complete your kitchen makeover. We work with an efficient team, which includes plumbers and electricians so in one day, we are out of your hair leaving you to your brand new kitchen!

Step 5 – Enjoy Your New Kitchen!

We don’t think this step needs much explaining! At Express Kitchens we are committed to delivering your stylish kitchen makeover on time, and on budget and we hope you’ll enjoy your new kitchen to the fullest.

Want a Functional Kitchen this Year?

Want a Functional Kitchen this Year?

If you’re struggling to prepare meals in your kitchen without going troppo, this may be because your kitchen lacks functionality. One simple way to enhance your kitchen’s functionality and make meal prep easier is to install new custom-designed kitchen cabinets.

In this article we take a look at:

  • Making Meal Prep Easier
  • The Simple Solution; and
  • Custom Kitchen Cabinets Costs

Why Custom Kitchen Cabinets Make Meal Prep Easier 

You might be so used to your dysfunctional kitchen cabinetry, you are no longer aware of the problems it causes you. However, the number, size, shape and placement of your kitchen cabinets can have a big impact on how easy it is to use your kitchen and to prep meals.

Below we’ve listed common problems encountered with kitchen cabinetry. You may recognise some of these from you own kitchen: 

  • Insufficient cabinet storage space – this is a common problem, resulting in cabinets ending up so cluttered that you simply don’t dare enter them. Sure you have a casserole dish but it’s waaaay in back there, jammed behind everything else making a casserole off the menu!
  • Tiny cabinetry – particularly if you have an older kitchen, you may suffer from a surfeit of pokey little cabinets which can’t easily fit larger items like four-slot toasters, large baking dishes, slow cookers etc. This means you’re forced to store these items on your benchtops, clogging up vital food prep space and turning cooking time into a game of Tetris!
  • Insufficient mid-level cabinetry space to store large, heavy items – this means you potentially have to crouch down to extract heavy serving platters, pans, or electrical items or, you’re dealing with the weight of heavy items above shoulder height.
  • Poorly placed kitchen cabinets – if every time your someone is stacking the dishwasher, you can’t access a vital kitchen cabinet, that fits the definition of a poorly placed cabinet! If there aren’t any kitchen cabinets located above and around your main food prep area, so you can easily access common ingredients and frequently used kitchen items, again that’s a sign your cabinets were poorly placed.

The Solution is Simple

Custom kitchen cabinet design and installation can alleviate all the problems listed above, returning your kitchen to functionality and making food prep that much easier.

At Express Kitchens you have access to a free in-home 3-D design session and consult. This session gives you the chance to really think about how to lay-out your cabinets and about what size cabinets will work best in different spaces. Our experienced kitchen designer will also be able to offer you their expert advice, based on how you use your kitchen and the amount of storage space required to meet your needs.

If you need new kitchen cabinets anywhere in Brisbane, or surrounds, we recommend you put thought into the decision and make use of 3D technology, as this can make a big difference to how happy you are with the end result.

Once you’ve got your new cabinets, there are plenty of fantastic tips online to make the most of the space.

How Much Should Custom Kitchen Cabinets Cost?

Your new custom kitchen cabinets should not cost you an arm and a leg, however prices can vary extensively across the industry.

At Express Kitchens we offer a consistently affordable product for kitchen cabinets throughout Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs.

How do we do this without compromising quality? The answer is efficiency. We’ve developed an incredibly streamlined one-day complete new kitchen install process for smaller / medium style kitchens with a basic layout. If you’re just after new cabinets, it won’t even take us a whole day. Our team works like a well-oiled machine to get your job done effectively, meaning you’re not spending a dollar more than you have to on labour.

Does Your Brisbane Kitchen Need a Butler’s Pantry?

Does Your Brisbane Kitchen
Need a Butler’s Pantry?

Do you remember the butler’s pantry? While originally designed to store food and crockery, the increasing sophistication of food storage technology saw the butler’s pantry reduced to the kitchen pantry as we know it today. Read on to learn more about the butler’s pantry, including: 

  • What is a butler’s pantry?
  • Is it new to Brisbane kitchens?
  • Benefits of installing a butler’s pantry
  • Get a customised design for your kitchen 

What is a Butler’s Pantry?

The concept of a pantry dates back to medieval times, where various rooms within a castle (or other large dwelling) were dedicated to the storage of food and other supplies pertaining to the kitchen. The butler’s pantry originated in the mid 1800s to 1900s, where wealthier households would employ a butler. The butler’s duties included: 

  • General household management
  • Managing the pantry 
  • Stocking and storing food
  • Overseeing the preparation and serving of food   
  • Even sleeping in the pantry to protect the silverware!

Butler’s pantries went on to become a popular addition to middle-class homes – without the butler and serving staff. 

What Happened to the Butler’s Pantry?

The mid 1950s saw a shift in society’s habits around the preparation and storage of food, due to a combination of: 

  • Prepared Food | Increased availability of ready-to-eat food options
  • Better Storage | Improved storage methods of refrigeration and freezing

This resulted in the butler’s pantry becoming an unnecessary use of space in the home, and to disappear from homes over time, in favour of the smaller pantry common in today’s kitchens in Brisbane and elsewhere.

Is Being a Butler Still a Job?

Yes! Where there are wealthy homeowners, there are butlers. According to an article in the South China Morning Post, skilled butlers are in high demand. And, if you think being a butler won’t pay well? Think again! The highest paid butler in the world earns a salary of USD $2.2 million dollars a year.

Are Butler’s Pantries a New Concept to Brisbane Kitchens? 

While Brisbane was initially established as a penal colony, it was opened to free settlers from 1838. As such, of the housing built from this point up until the early 1900s, many Brisbane homes and kitchens would likely have included a butler’s pantry.

Now, more than half a century later, the butler’s kitchen is back in vogue – and considered to be one of the top kitchen trends to invest in for 2019.

How Will a Butler’s Pantry Benefit My Brisbane Kitchen?

One of the main reasons why the butler’s pantry is making waves again, is that the way we are living in and designing houses has changed. Open-plan living has caused a blending between two historically separate rooms: the kitchen, and the living / dining room.

No longer tucked away out of sight, kitchens of today are arguably the most inhabited room in any home. Here are some of the key benefits a butler’s pantry will bring to your kitchen:

  • A Home For Your Kitchen Appliances | No more benchtops filled with clutter. Embrace the sleek lines and flow of spacious, clear benches – especially when entertaining!
  • Extra Storage Space | A great place to store your food, as well as excess glassware and crockery. Lack of space will be a thing of the past!
  • Dedicated Area for Meal Prep | If you love to host dinner parties, but not making a mess of your kitchen in front of guests, a butler’s pantry provides additional space for nitty gritty of meal prep.

What Brisbane Provider Can Design a Butler’s Pantry for my Kitchen?

Ready to take your Brisbane kitchen to the next level of comfort, convenience, and style? No need to shop for a generic product when Express Kitchens Brisbane can custom design the perfect butler’s kitchen to suit your space. Looking for a complete kitchen renovation? We do that too!

Are My Kitchen Cabinets Causing Me Health Problems?

Health and safety regulations are a big deal in the workplace, but how often do we think about this at home? In your kitchen alone, there exist a number of potential hazards and risk factors. Did you know that your kitchen cabinets could be causing you health problems? Here’s how:

  • Poor kitchen design
  • Mould and dampness 
  • Difficult to access

I Feel Like My Kitchen Cabinets Are Out to Get Me

Does it feel like your kitchen cabinets are always lying gleefully in wait for you? Ready to with sharp corners and knobs to bruise your body and pride? If your kitchen seems to bring out your clumsy streak, don’t worry…


“It’s not you, it’s me.” 

If you find yourself in an ongoing collision course with your kitchen cabinets, it’s most likely that you’re suffering from the effects of a poorly-designed kitchen. If you ask the professionals, a key design mistake is the failure to consider the natural flow. This involves creating a triangle of space with the appropriate distance between the stove, sink, and refrigerator.


Other factors that constitute a bad kitchen design include:

  • Not enough storage
  • Dim lighting
  • Lack of counter space
  • Poorly placed or insufficient power outlets
  • Kitchen islands in a small space

Are My Kitchen Cabinets Making Me Sick?

Are your kitchen cabinets awkward and difficult to clean? When it’s a struggle to properly access and clean your cupboards, they are at risk of growing mould. This could be causing health problems for you and your family.


The inhalation of mould spores can cause irritation and discomfort, and sometimes result in a more severe reaction – particularly to people with: 

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Breathing conditions
  • Weakened immune systems
  • Chronic lung diseases

Mould thrives in spaces that are:

  • Damp
  • Poorly ventilated
  • Dusty and dirty

You can help to prevent mould from growing in your kitchen by:

  • Open doors and windows to encourage air flow and 
  • Keep blinds up to allow sunlight into the kitchen
  • Regularly cleaning any areas that tend to get wet and damp
  • Clean up any food or liquid spills immediately

If you’re facing a constant battle against mould growing in hard-to-reach corners of your cupboards, it may be time to consider a change. You could go for a new set of cabinets that fit the space, or go all out with the kitchen renovation of your dreams! 

Why Are My Kitchen Cabinets So Hard to Access?

Do you experience back pain from using your kitchen? When it comes to reaching down into a cupboard, most people forget the helpful advice to “bend the knees, not the back.” This can result in ongoing back pain, which may grow into a chronic and debilitating condition if left untreated.

Alternatively, you may be facing the opposite problem, with cupboards that are placed inconveniently high and out of your reach. This is not only impractical, it also encourages the risky activity of balancing items precariously overhead while stacking and retrieving them. When this is happening on a regular basis, accidents and breakages become a regular occurrence – for adults and children alike.

Overall, it’s important to have a kitchen design that is both safe and practical for you and your family to use.

How Do I Get a Kitchen Design That Work for My Space?

For kitchen cabinets and design that work perfectly for you, Express Kitchens Brisbane has the answer. We create your customised kitchen based on the space available, and your unique needs and preferences.

How To Get New Kitchens Brisbane Installed As Quick as One Day!

How To Get New Kitchens Brisbane Installed As Quick as One Day!

The kitchen is one of the most used areas of the home. It’s where we gather, where we eat and commune with our family or entertain our guests. So it’s no wonder that so many local landlords, builders and homeowners want new kitchens Brisbane that take as little time as possible to renovate.

Let’s face it, installing new kitchens can be a huge inconvenience, causing major disruption to your day to day. In some cases, you may need to stay in a hotel or at a friend or family members place while your new kitchen is being renovated and installed. Not to mention the need to eat out while you’re waiting for your new kitchen to be functional again.

When you weigh up all of this with the costs associated, and the time it takes to get it right, getting your kitchen renovated can be a difficult decision to make.

Not anymore! New kitchens Brisbane can be installed in as little as one day with these tips, ensuring you get the dream kitchen you’re after with minimal disruption!

Plan, Plan, Plan

While conditions do apply, the best way to ensure your new kitchen is installed quickly and smoothly is to ensure you have planned for every little detail.

This means having custom 3D design plans that have been tailor-made specifically for your kitchen. Why is it so important to have custom made design plans?

  • Generic flat packs do not take into account the unique aspects of your kitchen; including shape and potential problem areas.
  • 3D design plans provide more specific detail to make sure your installers get it right… the first time!

There’s no doubt about it, planning precedes success.

Use Experienced Kitchen Renovation Experts

We get it, new kitchens Brisbane are not cheap. So it can be tempting to get in a mate with a little renovation experience, to go the DIY route, or hire a company offering installation or demolition very cheaply to come in and action your design plans.

The reality is, almost always there will be problem areas or things that are unexpected that will need to be dealt with along the way, requiring experienced experts.

Without this, you risk major delays to the installation process, and even further damage, costing you time and money!

For a more thorough list of when DIY is a good idea, and when it isn’t, you can check out this article.

When you hire experienced kitchen renovation experts who are across all types of new kitchens Brisbane, you have a much better chance of shorter installation time, whilst maintaining quality and integrity of your renovation.

To find out how you can get your new kitchen, installed in as little as one day, contact Express Kitchens today! We specialise in 3D custom designs, one day installation, and every aspect of your kitchen renovation for landlords, builders and homeowners in Brisbane.

Tips for Cheap Kitchen Renovations Brisbane (Without Sacrificing Quality!)

Tips for Cheap Kitchen Renovations Brisbane

(Without Sacrificing Quality!)

The kitchen is often the epicenter of the home. It’s where we cook and prepare food, gather our friends and family, and share memories over breakfast, lunch or dinner. So, it makes sense that you want cheap kitchen renovations Brisbane that match your budget, but still give you everything you want out of your dream kitchen.

At Express Kitchens, we believe in having the best of both worlds! So let’s talk about some of the ways in which you can keep your costs down while still achieving your dream kitchen look and feel.

Using Alternative Materials

The materials you use for your cabinetry, countertops and even your choice of appliances will make all the difference in terms of cheap kitchen renovations Brisbane.

For your countertops, there are plenty of options that look great and can give you the right aesthetic appeal without breaking the bank. Here are some ideas:

  • For a natural stone look, Black Shalestone is less expensive than other stone alternatives
  • For marble, try Calcatta marble
  • For tempered glass, Chroma glass is thick, cost-effective and looks great
  • For a mixed, natural look, there are a variety of affordable planked wood options

Of course between stone, timber, marble, glass, and other types of countertop surfaces, each come at different costs and offer something different in terms of aesthetic. We always recommend doing research and/or getting recommendations from your kitchen designer to come up with the perfect look that will be functional, and work with your budget.

Paint Instead of Replace

A popular option for cheap kitchen renovations Brisbane that will still look great and keep costs down is to re-paint aspects of your kitchen instead of totally replace them.

For example, for your cabinetry – a new paint job can be enough of an upgrade that still gives you the right look and feel.

All in One Design & Installation

The best way to keep costs to a minimum for cheap kitchen renovations Brisbane, without cutting corners or sacrificing quality is to choose a company that provides an all in one design and installation option.

When you get one company that organises every aspect of your kitchen renovation – from design, to installation and the coordinating of multiple tradespeople, it is always more cost-effective, not to mention also a lot quicker and more efficient!

A shorter turnaround time for your kitchen renovation will also save you money in the form of having to eat out less, or find alternative accommodation.

Looking for Quality, Cheap Kitchen Renovations Brisbane?

At Express Kitchens we specialise in all aspects of cheap kitchen renovations Brisbane – including:

  • Modern Kitchen Design
  • Express Installation
  • Coordinating multiple trades persons
  • Plus laundry and bathrooms!

New Kitchen Design Ideas to Spice Up Your Home

New Kitchen Design Ideas to Spice Up Your Home

When it comes to renovating your kitchen, there is no shortage of options to choose from. Whether you’re going for a modern, clean, classic or rustic look, we’re bringing you some new kitchen design ideas that will spice up your home, and get you excited about the prospect of entertaining your family and friends with your brand new kitchen renovation!

Kitchen Islands & Breakfast Bars

Arguably one of the most popular new kitchen design ideas of today is to have a kitchen island or breakfast bar.

Kitchen islands are a popular design choice as they open up your space, can be used as a bench top for additional seating, provide you with extra countertop space for preparing food, and all together look great!

In terms of design there is so much variation with kitchen islands. From dark wood and marble countertops to an all white modern look, kitchen islands offer the best of both worlds; functionality and aesthetically appealing.

Walk In Pantry

Just like having the perfect walk in closet, having a spacious walk in pantry is what many of us who spend a lot of time in the kitchen dream of!

When it comes to your pantry there are many ways to get creative. From the colour and type of flooring to your shelf design, and the way in which you choose to organise it, pantry’s are a very functional storage space that should definitely be considered when it comes to your new kitchen.

Beverage Area

For larger kitchen areas, more people are choosing to create a separate beverage or drink area as a part of their new kitchen design.

Include a mini bar fridge or wine shelf, and have your specialty coffee maker or electric kettle on display. If you entertain a lot, having a seperate beverage area to where you prepare and cook food is also very practical as you can direct guest traffic accordingly. There’s nothing worse than a crowded kitchen!

Display Shelves

Rather than have all of your kitchen ware, glass ware, herbs and spices, or special dinnerware hidden away in closed cabinets, many people are opting for open display shelving for some of their commonly used kitchen items.

When done properly, open display shelving has a certain aesthetic appeal that can make your kitchen feel very warm and inviting, with a rustic or traditional appeal, whilst still providing that modern kitchen design approach. Not to mention, it is very practical when it comes to accessing your commonly used kitchen items!

Some people will even organise their display shelves according to colour, buying specifically designed plate and glassware, or placing their spices in matching rustic jars that match the aesthetic of their kitchen design.

Are you ready to get started with your brand new kitchen design? At Express Kitchens we specialise in tailor made kitchen design and installation, incorporating the latest in modern design that is both functional and stylish. Best of all, we specialise in getting it done at an express pace!

At Express Kitchens Brisbane, our designers collaborate with you to create a kitchen design that brings your dream kitchen to life within the available space in your home.

By leveraging 3D design technology, you’re able to get a good idea of the look and feel of your kitchen before committing to the build.
