In-Home Design Consultation

After the showroom consultation, we offer a free in-home design consultation with our kitchen designer who comes prepared with the wish-list from the showroom consultation. Our design consultant will measure the space and discuss in detail how you wish your new kitchen to function.

MKN’s kitchen designers aren’t restricted by pre-designed modular units. All our kitchens are custom made and measured from quality materials at our Lawnton workshop, and because we’re not constrained by flat pack or modular sizing, we can manufacture drawers to specified sizes. Also, we don’t have to use as many filler panels as a modular kitchen, so less space is wasted. We like to give customers as much functional storage and workable space as possible, without filler panels and voids, and implement clever space-saving designs that are tailored to the layout of your home and how you want to use your kitchen.

Project Management & Manufacturing

At MKN we’re proud of the quality that we offer, and this is upheld throughout the manufacturing process. Our project managers assess each kitchen while in production to ensure accuracy and we factory-fit each kitchen in our warehouse before installing in our customer’s home. This enables every detail is checked prior to delivery and ensures each kitchen is installed at the allotted time.

MKN has proudly invested in state-of-the-art machinery giving us a leading advantage in the market. When we design and manufacture your kitchen, we can cut our board with millimeter accuracy providing our clients with the quality and fit that their home deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your current kitchen layout just not doing it for you? Whether you need to remove a wall or change the flow of your kitchen we can help. We’ll design a functional space and remove the headache by coordinating all trades to ensure a smooth renovation process for your new kitchen.

When a client wishes to change their kitchen layout, our designer will evaluate the space for appropriate changes during the in-home design consultation. If required, our designers will take photos and send to one of our recommended registered builders to obtain a quote for wall removal, or for more complex building works we’ll arrange for the builder to perform a site inspection and provide a firmer quote for the works. Once the new space has been proposed, our kitchen designer will design your new kitchen and provide you with plans, elevations and a 3d render to help you visualise your new kitchen space.

The most popular layout request is an L-shaped kitchen with an island, or a contemporary galley kitchen with an island. The reason why this layout is so popular is accessibility. With previous trends e.g. U-shape there’s only one access point in and out the kitchen, whereas if you move to either an L-shape or galley style, you have free range to enter the space from two different areas, allowing you to entertain around the island, or create a little hub where the family can gather. These designs offer greater flexibility for the users and improved access.

MKN offers kitchen solutions for every budget – that’s why we provide a showroom consultation before visiting your home. This allows us to demonstrate our products and finishes to suit your budgetary requirements. For example, choosing a Laminate door over a 2pack door can significantly reduce costs whilst maintaining quality, but choosing cost-effective options doesn’t mean you get an inferior product. MKN uses the same materials used in a $50,000 kitchen – we don’t compromise on the quality of products – we ensure everyone receives a high standard of kitchen that will stand the test of time.

A laminate door has a substrate which is moisture resistant particle board with a laminate coating on the front, and ABS edging on all four sides. The laminate coating comes in a wide range of colours and finishes including matte, semi-gloss, high-gloss, natural and timber look finishes.

A 2pack door has a substrate which is moisture resistant MDF and can either be flat, or have a profile routed into it and the edges of the MDF are slightly rounded. 2Pack refers to the paint finish. As a comparison, interior wall paint is 1Pack and the final finish is softer and not as moisture and scratch-resistant as 2pack, which is more like car paint, and combines paint plus a hardener giving a hard and moisture-resistant finish. 2pack paint can be colour matched to almost any colour and comes in various finishes similar to interior paint, e.g., matt, satin, semi-gloss and high gloss. The most popular 2pack finish is satin, which has a smooth velvety feel and helps to conceals fingerprints.

A 2Pack painted door has the advantage of endless colour options and we can colour match to almost any colour you would like, but the finish is always a block colour. A 2Pack door also has the advantage of routed profiles which is common in Hampton or Farmhouse style cabinetry.

People usually select a laminate flat door if they don’t want to add a profile due to the wide range of finishes available. Timber look or textured finishes are not available in 2Pack. A great advantage of laminate is that it’s a more affordable product compared to 2Pack, for example, the price difference between a laminate and 2Pack door could be between three and six thousand dollars (depending on the size of the kitchen).

A laminate benchtop has a particleboard substrate and is a popular choice due to its durability and cost effectiveness. Some laminate benchtops have a squared off front edge, which at first glance can be a little reminiscent of stone, and a coating on the back to protect the particleboard from moisture damage. These benchtops are also UV stabilised meaning whites won’t turn yellow over time, nor fade in places frequently exposed to sunlight.

Modern laminate won’t crumble underneath like it used to in the past – and the Nikpol brand we use also has a drip-loop beneath the benchtop to prevents liquid spills leaking inside cupboards or drawers.

We use several of the best brands of engineered stone on the market and we prioritise brands with their own manufacturing facilities. This provides greater quality control compared to generic engineered stone products. Engineered stone benchtops comprise 93% quartz, polymer resins, and organic pigment, making them 99.9% non-porous. The non-porous quality of engineered stone means no routine sealing is required compared to natural stone surfaces that require a rigorous maintenance schedule. Engineered stone benchtops are also resistant to staining and scratching which is a big tick when selecting a kitchen benchtop.

Engineered stone benchtops are available in 20mm slabs, but our stonemason can provide the look of 40mm or 60mm benchtops.

Within each engineered stone brand there are generally three to five pricing categories. This is due to the additional production time required to produce a veined stone vs a plainer finish (found in entry level stones), but these are by no means inferior. The more veins there are in the stone means more production hours to achieve this finish.

We use Blum soft-close hinges on all our cabinetry and each hinge comprises 56 working parts.  Blum manufactures each working part within the hinge.  Once assembled each hinge is nickel-dipped three times making them resistant to tarnishing, pitting and rusting, which is important with Queensland’s humidity and homes in coastal areas. Blum offers a 20-year warranty on their hinges.

We use Nikpol smooth telescopic drawer runners which are weight rated to 38 kgs.  The runners are fully extendable meaning the drawer opens 100% of the way, allowing you to gain full access to the entire drawer space, and because it’s a concealed runner it also has a smooth soundless operation when you’re opening and closing the drawers.

We offer a large range of handles from Barchie Australia and Nikpol, so there’s plenty of styles to choose from. Our handle finishes include satin, nickel, chrome and black powder-coat. Alternatively, you are more than welcome to source your own handles.

We offer a range of splash backs including glass and engineered stone. Our glass splash backs can add a pop of colour into your kitchen and can be customised with any colour from the Dulux range. You can choose from metallic, or mirror with a smoky bronze or black mirror finish, which can add a dramatic look to your kitchen. Continuing your engineered stone benchtop onto your splash back can add that extra feeling of sophistication and luxury. Alternatively, you can source a tile of your choice.

“Well what can we say..MKN gave 110% in every way.

Every step of the process from MKN was professional and the finish was beyond my expectations. Such a breath of fresh air to deal with a reliable company that provides such a professional finish – that’s so hard to find in today’s market.

Communication was excellent from start to finish.
Highly recommend using MKN Kitchens!!

We had our kitchen made and installed a few years ago by MKN after trying other big name companies. We were very impressed with the quality of the product and the ease of the whole job from start to finish.
We recently had our floors re done and there was some damage to the kitchen. From my first phone call, liaising with Al and Ben the installer was just seem less, quick and extremely professional. Thank you to all at MKN!
