 Are you looking for a pocket-friendly way to update your kitchen? Look no further than flat pack kitchens in NSW. Flatpack kitchens are modular and hence can fit into almost any space. The best part about them is they are easy to install and assemble.

However, if you plan to install it yourself, remember that it demands patience and proper planning. If DIY is not your cup of tea, go some steps further and consider sending some money on installation. 


Let us get started and learn the step by step installation process. 

  • Choose your appliances

It is important to pick your appliances first before you order your flatpack kitchen. That way, you will have the exact dimensions that you need to accommodate. Also, pay attention to the space required to accommodate stuff like a left or right-hinge fridge. Do some online research and ask your friends to make more informed decisions. 

  • Set a detailed plan 

In the next step, you need to chalk out a kitchen layout in sync with your needs and space. That includes drawing a detailed plan of the kitchen. You can take the help of the online tools offered by some suppliers. Such online planners help visualize how your kitchen will look by trying out different styles, colours, and configurations.  You can fix every last detail, so you get an idea of what actually to expect when the actual thing comes into life. 

  • Prepare the area

Now you need to remove your old kitchen setup and repair any damage like uneven floors or rough walls. Ensure that your kitchen walls are structurally sound and strong enough to withstand the weight of the cabinets. If you have stud walls, you need to mark the studs to screw in some components. To complete any preparatory work, you can call in an electrician or a plumber.

  • Take proper measurements

Creating seamless flat pack kitchens in NSW is only possible when you take the accurate measurements. You need to use a laser level or spirit level, a tape measure, and a pencil to draw a horizontal line on the wall where the overhead cabinet's base and the top of the base cabinet will lie. The recommended distance between the top of the benchtop and the floor is 90 cm. The overhead cabinets should lie at a minimum length of 60-65 cm.

  • Time to install

You need to concentrate on the final step by unpacking and assembling the first module. You can start with the end cabinet or overhead corner and then walk your way gradually. Make sure all the edges are flush and square. You should deal with the base cabinets next. Once you are done fixing the cabinets, you need to install the benchtop and finally fit the drawers, doors, handles, and kickboards. You can call in a professional to complete any extra plumbing and electrical needs.  

The above guide has surely helped you learn how to install flat pack kitchens in NSW. However, you can always seek professional help if you are not a DIY enthusiast.
