What we Do

3 Layout mistakes to avoid in your renovation

Kitchen layouts can make or break a space. As a trusted kitchen designer Sunshine Coast homeowners rely on, we help clients avoid the most common planning mistakes before it’s too late.

1. Ignoring the kitchen work triangle

One of the oldest design rules is still one of the most important. The “kitchen work triangle” refers to the distance between your sink, cooktop, and fridge. If they’re too far apart, or crammed too close, your kitchen becomes frustrating to use, no matter how beautiful it looks.

As an experienced kitchen designer Sunshine Coast, we make sure every layout we design has flow. Whether it’s a small galley or a large open-plan space, we plan for efficiency and comfort from the very beginning.

2. Oversized islands with no room to move

Kitchen islands are incredibly popular and for good reason. But too often, homeowners push for large islands without considering the clearance space around them. If you don’t have enough room to open drawers or move between zones, the island becomes an obstacle, not an asset.

We design island benches that actually fit the space. That includes factoring in walkways, seating comfort, and how it connects to the rest of the kitchen. Bigger isn’t always better, better is better.

3. Not enough prep space where it counts

Benchtop space isn’t just about size, it’s about location. Too many kitchens cram the cooktop into a tiny section of bench, leaving nowhere to chop, rest hot pans, or assemble meals. It’s one of the most common regrets we hear from clients who didn’t plan their last kitchen properly.

As a kitchen designer Sunshine Coast renovators turn to, we focus on usable bench space where you need it, next to the stove, near the fridge, or between zones. We also incorporate design features like waterfall ends, appliance nooks, and under-bench storage to keep benches clear and functional.

Plan it once. Build it right.

At KMAC Cabinets, we combine practical kitchen design with high-quality custom cabinetry—all under one roof. From the first consult to the final install, we’ll help you avoid mistakes, reduce stress, and end up with a kitchen that looks incredible and works beautifully.
