Say which room you need — a kitchen, wardrobe, study, laundry, entertainment unit, bathroom vanity or shop fit-out — and whether it is a new home or a house you already live in. Every job is measured and made to order, so the useful first step is describing the room and how you use it.

Homeowners and new-home builders across Melbourne. A lot of the work is for people building a new house, and a lot is for households adding or replacing cabinetry in a home they already live in. Kitchens, wardrobes and the other rooms are made to order for both.

Maya Cabinets P/L works from 2/45 Amherst Drive, Truganina VIC. That address is both the workshop and the office. Phone (03) 8376 8077, mobile 0406 900 404, email info@mayacabinets.com.au. The business is a cabinet maker: cabinetry is measured and made to order for Melbourne homes, and for shop fitting.

Custom kitchens, wardrobes, study cabinetry, laundry cabinetry, entertainment units, bathroom vanities and shop fitting. Each job is measured and made to order for that room, rather than supplied as a fixed-size unit. Photos of kitchens, wardrobes, laundries, studies and entertainment units are grouped in the gallery.

Start with the room. Note the wall lengths, the ceiling height, where the windows and doors are, and which appliances you are keeping. Then list what you store: everyday plates, pots, a pantry shop, and the bin. In many Melbourne homes the kitchen shares space with meals and living, so the walkway from the door to the sink matters as much as the door colour. A north-facing room shows sheen differently from a darker internal kitchen. The kitchen article on the blog walks through zones, storage and light, and the kitchen gallery shows finished rooms.

Decide what must hang, what belongs in drawers, and what can sit on shelves. Count long coats separately from shirts, and be honest about folded clothes. Many Melbourne bedrooms put the robe in an alcove or along one wall, so ceiling height, a sloping ceiling or a door that swings into the bed will change the design. Sliding doors suit a tight room. Hinged doors suit a wider opening where you want to see the whole interior. A walk-in needs enough floor left to get dressed. The wardrobe article goes further, and the wardrobe gallery shows sliding-door and walk-in robes.

Yes. They sit alongside kitchens and wardrobes, and they are measured and made to order in the same way. A laundry might need a bench, a trough, machine space and a tall cupboard. A study might be a desk with drawers. An entertainment unit is built to the wall the television sits on. A bathroom vanity is built to that wall and the basin layout. Shop fitting covers counters, display and storage made to the shop's measurements. Laundry, study and entertainment photos are in the gallery, and the laundry article on the blog is a practical starting point.

Yes. Every job is measured and made to order. Walls in new homes and in older Melbourne houses are rarely a perfect module, and a window sill, a bulkhead or a corner that is out of square changes the cabinet. Measuring is how the doors and benchtops end up fitting that space, whether the job is a kitchen, a wardrobe or another room.

Maya Cabinets has been in business for 5 years and has completed 1,000+ installations. The work is custom cabinetry for Melbourne homeowners and new-home builders, made to order in each case.

You describe the room, by phone, email or the contact page, and the job is measured and made to order. That is the path for a kitchen, wardrobe, laundry, study, entertainment unit, bathroom vanity or shop fit-out. There is no fixed-size cabinet that skips the measure. If you are a builder with more than one home underway, say so at the start so the rooms can be discussed together.

Maya Cabinets serves Melbourne. The workshop and office are at 2/45 Amherst Drive, Truganina VIC, on the western side of the city, and the cabinetry is made for homes and shops across Melbourne. When you enquire, say where the site is so a measure can be arranged.

Both. A lot of the work is for new-home builders and for homeowners. A new build often needs a kitchen, robes, a laundry and sometimes a study or a vanity planned around the house. An existing home might need one room replaced, such as a kitchen or a built-in wardrobe, measured to walls that are already there.

Yes. A lot of the work is for new-home builders. You can enquire about several homes, or several rooms in one home, at the same time. Each room is still measured and made to order, because the walls are not identical from house to house. Call (03) 8376 8077 or use the contact page and say that you are a builder.
