I would love you design a kitchen layout for me! I’ve been thinking of to change it so it works for over a year now! All the cupboards are cluttered and I feel I could utilise the space I have a bit more by cutting down the Splashback a bit and replacing the range hood? I also would love a dishwasher but worry about more soace being take. Away
Hi @lilnikoy82,
Improving your kitchen's functionality is a great way to optimise your space. Installing pull-out shelving is relatively straightforward and can make deep cabinets much more accessible. Start by measuring your cabinet dimensions to ensure you select shelving that fits perfectly. We offer pre-assembled pull-out systems, which are both practical and easy to install. The runners for these shelves are usually mounted on the sides of the cabinets, so it’s important to get them level for smooth operation. Once the runners are in place, you can attach the pull-out shelves and test them to make sure they function properly. Adding these shelves to your pantry will also help maximise storage space.
Here are some pull-out shelving options from Bunnings that you can explore to better organise your kitchen cabinets and pantry:
- Rev-A-Shelf Pull Out Basket For 450mm Cabinet: Increase the accessibility of everything you keep in your kitchen cabinets with this pull-out basket for 450mm wide cabinets.
- Rev-A-Shelf Pull Out Basket For 500mm Cabinet: This option suits 500mm wide cabinets and is also great for storing cookware and bulky kitchen products. The wire frame ensures items stay put.
- Rev-A-Shelf Pull Out Basket For 600mm Cabinet: Designed for 600mm wide cabinets, ideal for organising cookware and bulky kitchen products. The wire frame keeps items secure.
- Wire Basket Drawers - Kitchen: Shop a range of wire basket drawers at warehouse prices from quality brands.
For installation guidance, you can refer to the DIY advice article: How to install kitchen pull-out baskets.
As for making room for a dishwasher, it’s import to check that you’ll have enough space, typically around 600mm in width. After dealing with the pull-out shelving, you can assess if your current cabinets need to be modified to fit the dishwasher.
I understand you’ve had an issue with your custom-ordered corner cabinet in the past, but if you can let me know a little more about the issues with fitment I can assist in helping resolve those and integrating it into the rest of your cabinetry.
If you're struggling to find a 1000mm straight base cabinet, Kaboodle range offers custom cabinet options that should provide a better fit this time around.
Here are some options for 1000mm straight base cabinets that you can consider for your kitchen renovation:
- Kaboodle 1000mm Blind Corner Base Cabinet: These cabinets have solid backs and an adjustable shelf to meet all your storage needs.
- Practa Straight Line Modular Kitchen Flat Pack: Features a durable melamine finish, adjustable shelves, and is easy to install with all necessary hardware included.
Sorting out the cabinets and shelving first will make the rest of your kitchen upgrade, including installing a new rangehood, much smoother.
If you need more advice on how to move forward, don’t hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to help.
