Grafton Cabinetry
There’s nothing more frustrating than living or working in a space that lacks proper storage—or worse, has cabinetry that just doesn’t suit the way you use it. At Ken Willis Joinery Pty Ltd, based in South Grafton, we design and build cabinetry that fits your layout, your needs, and your everyday routine. Whether it’s for a kitchen, bathroom, laundry, office, or utility space, we focus on delivering smart storage that looks good and works even better. We’ve been working with clients across Clarence Valley for over 40 years, creating custom cabinetry solutions that aren’t just built to last—they’re built to make life easier. You won’t find one-size-fits-all designs here. We take the time to get the measurements, materials, and finishes right from the start, so everything fits exactly where it should.
If you're ready to replace tired cupboards or plan something new from scratch, give us a call on (02) 6642 4735 and we’ll help you design cabinetry that really works for your space.
Made-to-Measure Storage for Every Room
Every project is a bit different—and that’s exactly how we like it. Some clients come to us needing a few custom cupboards to finish off a kitchen, while others are fitting out an entire home or workspace from the ground up. Either way, we handle the full process—from design input and material selection to construction and installation. We offer a wide range of cabinetry styles, from sleek and modern to traditional and timeless. If you’re not sure what will work best, we’ll walk you through the options and help you find the right balance between practical storage and a look that suits your space.
We also use precision timber machining to ensure every piece fits cleanly and neatly, especially in tight or uneven areas where off-the-shelf options just don’t cut it. Our cabinetry is ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, so whether you're a homeowner, builder, or business owner, we can tailor a solution that fits.
Let’s talk through what you need and how we can help—call (02) 6642 4735 to get started.
What is the difference between custom cabinetry and flat-pack cabinets?
Custom cabinetry is made-to-measure and built specifically for your space, offering complete flexibility in terms of size, layout, material, and finish. This type of cabinetry is ideal for homeowners who want a seamless fit, unique design, or need to work around tricky layouts, such as sloping walls, narrow spaces, or high ceilings. Custom cabinets are built by professional joiners or cabinetmakers and typically installed by tradespeople, making them a longer-term investment in both form and function.
Flat-pack cabinets, on the other hand, come in standard sizes and are typically mass-produced. They're often purchased in kits from hardware stores and assembled either by the homeowner or a tradesperson. While flat-pack options can be more affordable and quicker to install, they may not always suit non-standard spaces and are limited in terms of customisation. The decision between custom and flat-pack will depend on your budget, the level of design flexibility you need, and how long you expect the cabinetry to last.
What materials are best for kitchen and bathroom cabinetry?
The best materials for cabinetry depend on the intended use, environment, and budget. For kitchens and bathrooms—where moisture, heat, and daily wear are common—durability is key. Common materials include:
- Melamine or Laminated MDF: Affordable and moisture-resistant, melamine-faced MDF is widely used in modern cabinetry for its easy-to-clean surface and variety of finishes.
- Plywood: Stronger than MDF and less prone to water damage, plywood is a great option for areas exposed to higher moisture, such as bathrooms and laundries.
- Solid Timber: Known for its beauty and longevity, solid timber is ideal for feature cabinetry or traditional styles, but it’s more expensive and can be sensitive to humidity changes.
- Two-Pack Polyurethane: A high-end painted finish that’s durable and easy to clean, often used in premium kitchen designs.
Choosing the right material involves balancing appearance, maintenance requirements, longevity, and cost.
How do I plan cabinetry to maximise storage space?
To maximise storage space with cabinetry, start by analysing how you currently use your space and what items need storing. Think vertically—installing overhead cupboards or full-height units can make use of otherwise wasted wall space. Consider pull-out shelves, corner units, and built-in organisers to improve accessibility and reduce clutter.
In kitchens, position drawers and cupboards based on workflow—keep frequently used items like cutlery, cookware, and pantry goods close to where they’re used. In bathrooms and laundries, built-in hampers, shallow drawers, and tall cabinets can store cleaning supplies and linens efficiently. Wardrobes can benefit from a mix of hanging space, shelves, and drawers tailored to the types of clothes you own.
Cabinetry design should also account for appliances, plumbing, and structural features, so planning ahead with accurate measurements and sketches is essential. Working with a designer or joiner can help ensure every centimetre is used effectively, especially in small or awkward spaces.
