About us

My Kitchen Makeover was established in 2009, to offer a convenient alternative to completely replacing your kitchen, whilst “keeping an eye on cost” as well as the environment.

My Kitchen Makeover's approach to kitchens is holistically simpler and the process is much more enjoyable than completely removing your existing kitchen and starting all over again.

My Kitchen Makeover also upgrades your kitchens functionality by manufacturing and installing custom-made cabinetry and accessories to improve the usability and flow of your current kitchen space. Some of our most popular customised solutions include additional cabinetry space, soft closing hinges and drawers, rubbish bin systems, internal pantry drawers, narrow cabinet solutions and much more.
