Download All PlansKitchen cabinets are one of the most expensive parts of a kitchen renovation. Building your own cabinets from professional plans can save 60-70% compared to factory cabinets while offering superior construction and custom sizing that fits your space perfectly.
Our kitchen plans collection includes over 340 blueprints for cabinets, islands, pantries, wine racks, spice organisers, and kitchen accessories. Each cabinet plan follows standard modular dimensions (600mm wide base units, 720mm tall wall units) so they integrate seamlessly with standard worktops and appliances.
Kitchen islands are the most impactful kitchen project. A well-designed island provides additional counter space, storage, and seating. Our island plans include options for integrated cooktops, sinks, and breakfast bars. Even a simple freestanding island transforms a kitchen's functionality.
Cabinet construction uses frameless (European) or face-frame (traditional) techniques. Frameless cabinets are simpler to build and offer more interior space. Face-frame cabinets provide a traditional look with concealed hinges. Our plans cover both methods with detailed cutting diagrams.
For storage upgrades, pantry cabinets pull-out shelves, and lazy Susans maximise corner space. Wine racks, plate racks, and spice drawers add both function and visual appeal. These smaller projects are excellent for upgrading an existing kitchen without a full renovation.
A standard 600mm base cabinet costs approximately 60-90 in materials versus 200-400 for a factory unit. A full kitchen of 15-20 cabinets costs 900-1,800 in materials versus 4,000-8,000 installed.
18mm Baltic birch plywood is the gold standard for cabinet boxes. It has solid birch veneers and no voids. For budget builds, standard hardwood-veneered plywood works well. Cabinet-grade MDF is excellent for painted doors and panels.
Yes. Start with simple frameless cabinets using pocket-hole joinery. Our beginner plans use straight cuts and basic tools. As your skills improve, progress to face-frame cabinets with mortise and tenon joinery and raised panel doors.
