Homeowners want modern kitchens featuring modern appliances and features and come to us to provide custom cabinetry solutions that will camouflage them.

Another year, another beautiful start to Spring. In theory, cleaning your custom cabinetry and joinery is a weekly practice.

In theory. 

But if you’re like us, those shorter days and cooler nights eased you into a winter hibernation where consistent cleaning was the last thing on your mind. With longer, warmer days upon us, it’s the perfect time to kick off your spring cleaning and address those internal home areas you may have overlooked.

While G & M’s kitchen designs incorporate functional and aesthetically pleasing features, we are dedicated to working with clients to produce cost-effective solutions. 

We are proud of the custom joinery and cabinetry we provide our clients, but custom doesn’t mean you need to break the bank to feature our craftsmanship. Our team can design a kitchen that meets your style brief while remaining within your budget.

As the most used area of your home, it’s important for your kitchen to be functional. But G & M ensure aesthetics never takes a backseat when designing kitchen spaces. 

Your kitchen is the centre of your home, and if you’re spending a lot of time there, shouldn’t it be an inviting space also? 

Somewhere you actually want to prepare meals? 

You don’t have to sacrifice style for functionality. To add something special, think outside the box when deciding on your standard features. 

It is designed by them, for them. But if you'll take time to create an aesthetically pleasing kitchen or bathroom because you spend a lot of time in those spaces, why not your laundry?

We welcome clients who come to us with a clear vision for their space. But for those who need help figuring out where to start, we suggest looking at the size of your laundry and understanding your washing machine and dryer types will affect your storage options.

With so many tradesman businesses popping up, it’s hard to know who to use for your new home build or renovation. Finding one that offers quality work on time while being cost-effective is no easy task.

More and more, our G & M Craftsman clients are asking us to design and install butler’s pantries for added luxury to their homes. There was a time when some may have dismissed a butler’s pantry as too extravagant and an added expense. But a butler's pantry has almost become a prerequisite when building a new home or completing a kitchen renovation.

It’s no secret Australia’s current home-building boom has seen building material costs and shortages increase during the pandemic. But G&M remain unaffected by the downfalls many building trades are experiencing.

Choosing to renovate your home is a huge decision. Whether your family is growing or your design tastes are evolving, a renovation is the best way to accommodate lifestyle changes while maintaining your home's sentimental value.

More and more, our clients are requesting remodeling consults and designs to upgrade their homes and inject personality into their personal space.

Our clients can be very surprised at the cost of a large scale renovation or design project; we know that they aren’t trying to be cheap and unrealistic, they’re simply not used to shopping for quality materials the way that we are.

Here are a few tips for you to use to avoid being shocked when it comes to designing your space.
