What is Custom Joinery? And Why It Matters for Your Kitchen Renovation

19/05/2025

If you're planning a kitchen renovation, you've probably come across the term custom joinery. But what does it actually mean—and why should it matter to you?

At A Team Kitchens, we believe the best kitchens are built, not bought. And that’s exactly where custom joinery comes in.

Joinery vs. Flat-Pack: What’s the Difference?

Joinery refers to the craft of making furniture and fittings from wood, especially those that are joined together—like cabinets, shelves, drawers, and benchtops. When it’s custom, it means everything is made to fit your specific space, style, and needs.

That’s a far cry from flat-pack or off-the-shelf options, which come in standard sizes and configurations. These may be quicker and cheaper, but they often result in wasted space, poor fit, and a look that lacks personality.

Custom joinery is tailored to you—your kitchen layout, your design vision, and your lifestyle.

Why Choose Custom Joinery for Your Kitchen?

Here’s why so many homeowners across the Blue Mountains and Western Sydney choose custom joinery when they renovate their kitchens:

Perfect Fit for Your Space

No odd gaps or awkward corners—everything is designed to work seamlessly with your kitchen’s dimensions.

More Storage, Smarter Solutions

Custom joinery allows us to maximise storage with clever solutions, like deep drawers, corner units, and hidden compartments.

Your Style, Your Way

Whether you're into Hamptons, minimalist, shaker, or something unique, we can bring it to life with custom-made cabinetry.

Built to Last

Our joinery is made using high-quality, Australian-made materials and expert craftsmanship. It’s not just built to look good—it’s built to last.

One-of-a-Kind Kitchen

A custom kitchen reflects your personality and adds real value to your home. No one else will have one quite like it.

How A Team Kitchens Does It Differently
