Kitchen cabinetry with Utopia typically starts from around $15,000–$20,000 for a standard renovation. However it's important to understand that cabinetry is just one part of the total cost of a kitchen renovation. When you include stone benchtops, electrical works, plumbing, appliances and tiling, a complete kitchen renovation in Brisbane typically starts from $30,000 and can range significantly depending on the size of your kitchen and the quality of materials and appliances you choose. At your free consultation we'll scope the full picture clearly so you know exactly what your project will cost before you commit to anything.

Custom wardrobes with Utopia start from $3,000 for a simple built-in wardrobe. Walk-in robes, butler's pantries and full home office fit-outs are priced according to your space and specification.
To get a rough sense of joinery costs, try our [Wardrobe Pricing Guide →] — it gives you an indicative range based on your layout and finish. Final pricing covers everything including removal, disposal and associated trades, and is provided once your design and scope of works are agreed following your free Design Consultation. No surprises.

Most kitchen renovations take 3–6 weeks from the date of installation, depending on the size and complexity of the project. The design and manufacturing phase typically takes 4–8 weeks before installation begins. We'll give you a clear timeline at the quoting stage so you can plan accordingly.

Your free consultation is a relaxed, no-obligation conversation about your project. We can have it on the phone or in our design studio where you can see a range of styles, finishes, handles, along with our state of the art factory.
There's no pressure and no cost to talk to us. After the consultation we prepare the next steps depending on your requirements. You might require only an estimate for a space, or you might want a full design plan and fixed-price quote for your consideration?

Yes — we work with both homeowners renovating existing kitchens, builders and new home buyers fitting out new builds. If you're building a new home, we can work directly with your builder or independently. Contact us early in the build process to get the best result

We work in all styles — from classic Hampton and coastal to contemporary, Japandi and everything in between. We don't have a house style that we impose on every project. We listen to what you love and design something that's entirely yours. If you have inspiration images, bring them to the consultation — the more we know about your taste, the better the result.

A walk-in robe is a dedicated room you step inside to access your wardrobe. A reach-in wardrobe is a shallower built-in solution — typically behind doors — where you reach in to access your clothes and storage. Both can be fully custom designed and built by Utopia. Reach-in wardrobes are a great solution for bedrooms where space doesn't allow a full walk-in, and a well-designed reach-in can be just as functional and beautiful as a walk-in robe.
