Custom Joinery Melbourne

Melbourne's leading custom joinery specialists.

Touchwood Cabinetry is a Melbourne cabinet maker producing custom joinery to measure — kitchens, wardrobes, vanities and built-in furniture — in our Springvale workshop for homeowners, architects and interior designers across the inner east and bayside.

Every piece is drawn to the space, made from the timber, veneer or painted finish the brief asks for, and installed by the same workshop that built it. We work from architectural drawings or from a design we develop with you. For how custom work compares with modular kitchens, see custom vs flat-pack joinery; for indicative ranges, see the 2026 cost guide.

CUSTOM JOINERY MELBOURNE

High moisture resistance materials are used in the manufacturing of all custom joinery available at Touchwood to ensure durability in all types of households. The use of brads and nails has been eliminated by installing a tongue and groove system to assemble robes. The structure, stability and accuracy are improved remarkably by using only screws for the assembling process. After the carcasses have been completed, they are connected to each other using a nut and bolt system with plastic cups instead of the standard chipboard screws since this produces a stronger end result. Moreover, our shelves are safer than most others since every shelf of ours which is greater than 750mm in length is safeguarded from sagging, due to the weight of contents, with thick boards of 25mm in comparison to the 16mm boards which other companies use.

None of the hardware is visible when our drawers are opened since they are equipped with under-mount concealed runners that close softly, providing a very simple and polished look. Additionally, no screws and nails are exposed since the drawer, too, is put together using the tongue and groove technique. Our onsite steel fabrication facility makes it possible for us to strengthen our cabinets in case someone requires suspended cabinets, wall-hung units and concealed shelf fixings along with other cantilevered items. This makes our custom joinery different from others.

Touchwood, has been able to create relevant and innovative new systems and unique hardware as a result of the research and development which we take pride in. Owing to this, Touchwood now has an exclusive range of LED lighting, wall panelling mounting brackets, finger-pull channels and extrusions. We are, therefore, not limited by the unavailability of hardware in the market since we develop the solutions to any design problems by ourselves.

FUNCTIONALITY & SUSTAINABILITY

Touch Wood only uses hardware made in Europe and supplied by top brands, such as Hafele and Blum, which means that the quality of our products is always the best. The hardware itself comes with a lifetime warranty from the supplier. Since we cater to all of the needs of our clients whenever we undertake a custom joinery project, we even offer the option of installation of LED lighting inside cabinets to anyone who may be interested. This means that your shelves and hanging rails will be lit using LED lights. Additionally, LED lights can also be installed on the sides of the cabinets or above and below them. You won’t need the services of an electrician since our wires are preassembled at our factory in such a way that they are not exposed. Not only will we supply the switches and sensors, but we will also install them. A power outlet, at a spot which is agreed upon, is the only thing we require our clients to take care of since this will be used to connect our systems.

Making good use of our experience, we are able to boost the functionality of entertainment units using the techniques and systems that we have adopted. No one knows the importance of a clean look better than us which is why we have ensured that you do not have to go through the hassle of tending to tangled wires. Overheating is another element that we have taken into account at Touch Wood which is why our systems are specifically designed to prevent overheating with adequate airflow. Weather conditions are also kept in mind when creating barbecue areas for our clients, which is why we only use the best materials to suit external conditions. We can also ensure the sustainability of our materials using techniques to waterproof and heatproof them.

Touchwood is proud to be Melbourne's leading custom joinery expert, specialising in high-end domestic architectural projects.

Frequently asked questions

Who makes custom joinery in Melbourne?

Touchwood Cabinetry designs and builds custom joinery in Melbourne from our Springvale workshop. We make kitchens, wardrobes, bathroom vanities and built-in furniture to measure for homes across the inner east, bayside and greater Melbourne, working with homeowners, architects and interior designers.

What is the difference between a cabinet maker and a joiner?

In residential work the two overlap. A cabinet maker typically builds fitted furniture — kitchens, robes, vanities — while joinery also covers architectural built-ins and detailing. We do both: fine-furniture cabinetmaking and architectural joinery, fabricated and installed by the same team.

Do you work with architects on custom joinery?

Yes. We regularly build from architectural and interior-design drawings, flagging buildability early and producing shop drawings for sign-off where that helps. See about us (/about-us) and how to choose a cabinet maker in Melbourne (/blog/how-to-choose-a-cabinet-maker-melbourne).

How much does custom joinery cost in Melbourne?

Custom joinery is quoted per project after a consultation and site measure, because materials, hardware, finishes and complexity vary. Indicative ranges by project type are in our bespoke cabinetry cost guide (/blog/bespoke-cabinetry-cost-melbourne-2026).
