Use Joyce Kitchens’ professional room planner to visualise your renovation in 3D, compare layouts, choose finishes and price options before a single cabinet is cut. Designed for Australian homes and Perth conditions, our process helps you plan your room with confidence — from a shaker kitchen with a new island benchtop to a streamlined laundry or fully fitted walk-in robe.
How a Room Planner Works (for Perth and WA homes)
Our room planner combines in-home measuring, expert design and a 3D preview so you can plan your room before you renovate. Whether you’re after a new kitchen, bathroom, laundry or wardrobe, we create a custom 3D room design that reflects Australian appliance sizing, WA building practices and your budget.
- Measure: We record room dimensions, ceiling heights, windows/doors, and services (plumbing, power, gas).
- Design: Your designer builds a 3D room planner model and tests multiple layouts, storage options and materials.
- Visualise: Explore colours, door profiles and benchtops in a true-to-scale 3D room creator and sample them in our Perth showrooms.
- Refine: We optimise the room layout for workflow, storage and lighting, then price options with transparent inclusions.
A design tool used by our team to create a detailed, to-scale model of your space. It functions like a 3D room builder so you can review layouts, finishes and appliances before manufacturing.

Core Design Insights That Make a Difference
1) Room layout and flow
Great results start with a smart room layout. In kitchens, we balance the classic work triangle with modern work zones (prep, cook, clean, store). Our room layout planner tests L-shape with island, galley, U-shape, peninsula and scullery configurations. For wardrobes, we map hanging vs drawers vs shoe storage to create a practical room organiser before finalising cabinetry.
2) Storage engineered for daily life
- Custom cabinetry WA-made, with soft-close drawers, pull-out pantries, corner LeMans units and Hafele-style organisers.
- Dedicated recycling pull-outs and under-sink storage to maximise every millimetre.
- Integrated appliances to streamline a small kitchen or open-plan living area.
3) Lighting, power and safety
We plan task lighting (LED under-cabinet), ambient pendants over the island bench and correct power circuits for appliances. Electrical work is designed to meet AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) and completed by licensed WA electricians.
4) Ventilation and compliance
Rangehood ducting and bathroom exhaust are specified to suit the space. If you’re choosing a gas cooktop, we’ll position it to meet AS/NZS 5601 clearances. Induction cooktops are sized with correct electrical allowances. Cabinetry construction aligns with AS/NZS 4386 where applicable.

Materials and Finishes for WA Conditions
From coastal Hamptons to modern minimalism, we specify finishes that perform in Perth’s heat and light. Popular choices include melamine and vinyl-wrap doors, two-pack polyurethane, timber veneer, engineered stone benchtops and high-pressure laminate. For heat-exposed areas near cooktops, we’ll recommend heat-resistant surfaces and an appropriate splashback.
Regulations around engineered stone are evolving nationally. We offer compliant alternatives such as porcelain/sintered stone, natural granite, solid surface and advanced laminates. Ask your designer for the latest WA guidance and safe product options.
Engineered Stone vs Laminate Benchtops
| Feature | Engineered Stone Benchtop | Laminate Benchtop |
|---|---|---|
| Look and feel | Stone-like appearance; seamless undermount sinks and waterfall edges | Huge range of decors; realistic stone/timber looks at lower cost |
| Heat resistance | Good, but use trivets; avoid direct pots near joins | Moderate; use trivets and cutting boards |
| Maintenance | Low-maintenance, non-porous | Very low-maintenance; easy to clean |
| Typical WA supply cost | $$$–$$$$ (premium) | $–$$ (budget-friendly) |
| Best for | Premium kitchens, islands, resale value | Smart budgets, rentals, kids’ spaces |
Other finishes to consider: porcelain/sintered stone for heat and UV resistance, solid surface for seamless joins, mirrored or tiled splashbacks, and finger-pull profiles for handle-free doors.
Layouts and Styles We Model in the 3D Room Planner
Kitchens
- L-shape with island benchtop and breakfast bar for open-plan living
- Galley kitchen with parallel benches and a full-height pantry wall
- U-shape with integrated fridge and dishwasher for compact footprints
- Scullery or butler’s pantry to keep prep out of sight
- Shaker kitchen for a Hamptons vibe; or flat-panel for a modern look
We plan for Australian appliances: 600 mm dishwashers, 600/900 mm ovens, standard 32–40 mm benchtop thicknesses, and correct clearances for induction/gas cooktops and rangehoods.

- Wall-hung vanities to increase the sense of space in ensuites and powder rooms
- Laundry work zones with tall broom/linen storage and bench space over front-loaders
- Moisture-resistant cabinetry and tile-to-paint junctions detailed for durability
Wardrobes and Bedrooms
Use our bedroom designer approach to create your own bedroom storage: hanging, drawers, shoe towers and jewellery organisers. We also support a bedroom layout planner and room furniture planner to optimise bed placement, side tables and lighting. Prefer to redesign a room online? We can start via video and convert your sketch into a professional 3D bedroom design.

Short WA Case Examples
Case 1 — Mount Lawley kitchen renovation: A compact character home needed more storage. Our 3D room planner tested galley vs L-shape. An L-shape with a 1.8 m island, soft-close drawers, pull-out pantry and LED task lighting won out. A satin shaker profile and porcelain splashback modernised the space without losing charm.
Case 2 — Subiaco laundry and robe: We combined a laundry refresh with a walk-in robe fitout. The room design online started via video with simple measurements. Tall linen storage, bench over appliances, and a custom shoe wall in the WIR delivered everyday convenience within a modest footprint.
