Deep pot drawers
wide, deep drawers hold pots, pans and appliances far more easily than low cupboards, and everything is visible at a glance.
A walk-in or hidden butler’s pantry
keep the mess and small appliances out of sight while entertaining, with a dedicated prep and storage zone.
Full-height pantry cabinets
floor-to-ceiling storage uses vertical space that standard kitchens waste, adding serious capacity.
Corner solutions
clever pull-outs and carousels turn awkward corners into fully usable storage.
Integrated bins
pull-out bin drawers keep waste and recycling tidy, hidden and easy to access.
Custom drawer inserts
dividers for cutlery, utensils and spices keep everything organised and in its place.
Appliance garages
a benchtop cupboard hides the kettle, toaster and coffee machine, keeping your bench clear and calm.
Storage designed around you
The best storage isn’t about cramming in more cupboards — it’s about designing around how you actually use your kitchen. That’s the advantage of custom joinery: every drawer, shelf and cupboard is planned for your space and your routine.
At Formline Joinery, we’ve spent 25 years designing kitchens across Melbourne that are as practical as they are beautiful. If you’d love a kitchen with a place for everything, we’d be glad to help.
