Transform Your Kitchen in Just One Weekend.

Kitchen renovations often conjure up images of tradies, blown-out budgets, and weeks of chaos. But what if you could do it yourself—faster, cheaper, and without compromising on quality?

With a flat pack kitchen from Kora Kitchens, Brisbane renovators are reclaiming their weekends and transforming tired kitchens into sleek, modern spaces—without breaking the bank.

What Is a Flat Pack Kitchen?

A flat pack kitchen is a ready-to-assemble cabinetry system designed for easy transport, storage, and DIY installation. You receive all the panels, and hardware, needed to build your kitchen—just like assembling furniture, but on a bigger (and more rewarding) scale.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Plan Your Layout

Measure your space, mark power points/plumbing, and double-check your layout before unboxing.

2. Unpack & Organise

Lay out your flat packs by cabinet type. Label each pile and check that all components and fixings are included.

​

3. Assemble Cabinets

Cabinets are pre-drilled. Work on a clean, soft surface to avoid scratching panels.

​

4. Install Base Cabinets

Start from the corner or a flat wall. Check for level and plumb as you go. Shim as required. Secure cabinets to the wall once positioned.

​

5. Install Wall Cabinets

Use a ledger board (temporary support) to rest the cabinets while you secure them. Hit studs or use proper wall anchors for safety.

6. Fit Drawers, Doors & Panels

Clip in hinges, slide in drawers, and install handles (if applicable). Adjust hinges and runners to ensure even spacing.

​

7. Add Benchtops, Kickboards & Fillers

If using a laminate benchtop, cut carefully to fit and seal edges. Kickboards and fillers complete the look and conceal gaps.

Pro Tips from Kora Kitchens•

• Assemble before installation to save time.

• Use a cabinet jack or second set of hands for wall units.

• Double-check levels before drilling—this will make tiling easier later.

• The End Result: A Kitchen You Built Yourself. There’s nothing more satisfying than stepping back at the end of the weekend and saying, “We built this.”Whether you’re flipping an investment property, renovating your own home, or refreshing a rental—Kora’s flat pack kitchens deliver speed, quality, and value.
