Looking for cabinet furniture bedroom ideas that work just as hard as your kitchen? Joyce Kitchens in Perth designs and manufactures custom bedroom cabinet solutions, white bedroom storage walls, walk‑in wardrobes and built‑in robes—seamlessly coordinated with your kitchen, bathroom, laundry and home office. Here’s how to plan bedroom cabinetry that’s beautiful, practical and built for WA conditions.
Bedroom Cabinetry: Core Insights for WA Homes
Bedroom cabinet design isn’t just about hanging space. Perth homeowners increasingly want integrated storage walls, concealed desks, and display shelving that ties in with their kitchen renovations. Whether you’re after a sleek white bedroom storage wall or a warm timber veneer wardrobe, align function with the way you live and the climate you live in.
- Plan for WA heat and coastal humidity: choose moisture‑resistant cores, durable finishes and quality hardware.
- Think whole‑home: match your bedroom cabinetry to your kitchen doors, laundry storage and bathroom vanities for a consistent look.
- Maximise millimetres: standard robe depth is ~600 mm; allow 40–60 mm for doors/handles and consider sliding vs hinged to suit room size.
- Consider future resale: timeless profiles (e.g., shaker kitchen style doors echoed in the bedroom) and neutral palettes deliver longevity.
Our Renovation & Cabinetry Process
1) In‑home or showroom consult
We measure your room, discuss storage needs, and review style options—from minimalist, handleless cabinetry to classic routed profiles that echo a shaker kitchen.
2) Design & specification
You’ll receive detailed drawings and finishes boards. For whole‑home projects we coordinate your kitchen renovations Perth, laundry renovation and wardrobes so door styles, benchtops and hardware align.
3) Manufacturing in WA
Custom cabinetry WA made with premium materials, moisture‑resistant substrates and trusted hardware (e.g., soft‑close drawers and hinges). We build to AS/NZS 4386 domestic joinery guidelines.
4) Installation & finishing
Our installers fit your built‑in bedroom cabinet precisely, integrate lighting and mirrors, and coordinate with other trades where required (e.g., painters, electricians).
Perth case examples
- City Beach: Wall‑to‑wall white bedroom storage with soft‑close drawers, glass‑front display, and a study nook. Doors match the family’s Hamptons‑inspired kitchen and butler’s pantry.
- Fremantle: Compact terrace home with a sliding door robe, toe‑kick drawers and LED strip lighting. Kitchen refresh in a galley layout completed to the same door profile for cohesion.
Materials & Finishes for Bedroom Cabinets
Bedroom cabinets don’t endure splashes like kitchens, but WA’s sun and temperature swings still demand robust choices. Here’s what we recommend.
Cabinet carcasses
- Moisture‑resistant melamine (HMR) in white or woodgrain
- MDF for painted 2‑pack doors and detailed profiles
Doors & drawer fronts
- 2‑pack polyurethane (matte, satin or gloss)
- Thermofoil/thermolaminate for cost‑effective routed styles
- Premium melamine for durable, family‑friendly finishes
- Timber veneer for warmth and natural texture
Benchtops, dressers and tops
In bedrooms, many clients opt for laminated dressers or timber tops. If you prefer a stone look to match bathrooms or an engineered stone benchtop alternative, see the WA‑context table below.
Hardware & lighting
- Soft‑close hinges and concealed runners
- Quality drawer systems (e.g., Blum‑style metal sides)
- Integrated LED strip lighting in robes and display shelves
- Pull‑out mirrors, tie racks, trouser racks and shoe towers
Engineered Stone vs Laminate (2025 WA context)
Traditional high‑silica engineered stone is prohibited nationally from 1 July 2024. For dressers/vanities, consider these options in Perth.
| Feature | Porcelain/Sintered (Engineered Stone Alternative) | High‑Pressure Laminate |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance (WA 2025) | Compliant low‑silica option; installed with appropriate controls | Compliant |
| Heat/UV resistance | Excellent; suitable for sunny rooms | Good; avoid prolonged heat exposure |
| Price range (installed) | $$$ (premium) | $ (budget‑friendly) |
| Maintenance | Very low; non‑porous | Very low; wipe clean |
| Look/variety | Stone, concrete, marble looks | Huge range including timber and stone looks |
For current rules and safe work practices, refer to national guidance from Safe Work Australia and work with qualified fabricators.

Layouts & Styles That Work
Popular bedroom cabinet layouts
- Wall‑to‑wall storage: Maximise a spare wall with hanging, drawers, and overhead cabinets.
- Walk‑in wardrobe: U‑ or L‑shape with double‑hanging, shoe towers and island drawers.
- Sliding door robes: Space‑saving in smaller rooms; mirrored panels brighten spaces.
- Built‑in dresser/vanity: Match bathroom or kitchen finishes for a unified home aesthetic.
Style cues from the kitchen
- Hamptons/shaker: Routed profiles, satin white, and cup pulls—timeless with your shaker kitchen.
- Contemporary/handleless: Flat fronts, push‑to‑open or finger rails; pairs with a modern island bench and scullery.
- Warm natural: Timber veneer and matte finishes echoing a soft, stone splashback kitchen palette.
Tip: If you’re planning a future kitchen or laundry renovation, specify the same door profile and colour across rooms. It builds perceived value and design continuity.
