Searching for “kitchen showrooms near me”, “kitchens near me” or “kitchen displays near me”? At Joyce Kitchens, our Perth kitchen display showrooms are purpose-built to help you compare finishes, try hardware, and speak with experienced designers about your renovation or repair—whether it’s a new kitchen, bathroom, laundry or custom wardrobes. Below you’ll find what to look for in kitchen display centres, how our renovation process works, material choices and costs for Western Australian homes.
Why visit a kitchen showroom near you
Photos are great, but nothing beats seeing full-sized kitchen display showrooms in person. In our kitchen centres you can:
- Compare door profiles (Shaker, V-groove, flat) and finishes (melamine, vinyl wrap, 2‑pack polyurethane).
- Test hardware like soft‑close drawers, pull-out pantries, corner solutions and handleless cabinetry.
- View benchtops, splashbacks, sinks and taps under proper lighting, including LED task lighting.
- Discuss kitchen renovations Perth wide with an experienced designer who understands WA building practices, AS/NZS standards and local trades.
- Explore matching bathrooms, laundries and wardrobes so your whole home flows.
Unlike general “kitchen places near me”, a specialist showroom lets you touch materials, check colour accuracy against natural light, and confirm appliance sizing common in Australia (600 mm and 900 mm ovens, 700–900 mm rangehoods, 45/60 cm dishwashers).
Our Perth renovation process
1) Free in-showroom consultation
Bring room measurements, photos and inspiration. We’ll discuss lifestyle, budget, and whether you prefer contemporary, coastal Hamptons or Shaker kitchen styling.
2) In-home check and concept design
We measure precisely, model the space in 3D, and recommend layouts (galley kitchen, L‑shape with island, U‑shape, or one-wall with a butler’s pantry) to improve workflow.
3) Materials, appliances and compliance
We guide you on durable finishes, appliance selections, and compliance with relevant standards such as AS/NZS 4386 (domestic built‑in cabinets). We can work with your builder or provide project management under industry-recognised contracts (e.g., HIA). See guidance at the Housing Industry Association (HIA).
4) Detailed quote and timeline
You’ll receive a transparent, itemised proposal, including cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks, trades (licensed electrician and plumber), and installation scheduling.
5) Manufacture and installation
Your custom cabinetry WA-made with quality hardware (e.g., Blum or Hettich). Our installers follow WA best practice. Electrical and plumbing are completed by licensed trades, and any gas work follows WA regulations.
6) Care, warranty and after-service
We provide care guides for benchtops, cabinetry and splashbacks, and support for future repairs or upgrades.
A hard-wearing painted finish for doors and panels, factory-cured for a smooth surface and excellent colour depth. Great for Shaker profiles and satin or matte looks.
Materials and finishes that suit WA homes
Perth’s climate and lifestyle influence smart material choices. Consider heat resistance, UV stability, and easy maintenance for busy family kitchens.
Cabinetry
- Melamine/laminate doors: Cost‑effective, durable, many textures including woodgrain.
- 2‑pack polyurethane: Premium painted finish in any Dulux/Wattyl colour; ideal for feature islands or Hamptons/Shaker kitchen designs.
- Thermo‑laminated (vinyl wrap): Seamless look on profiled doors; check heat protection near ovens.
Benchtops
- Sintered porcelain / ultra‑compact surfaces: Excellent heat and UV resistance; ideal for Perth’s bright kitchens and alfresco servery windows.
- High‑pressure laminate benchtops: The best value for money, with realistic stone and timber looks. Modern edges and square profiles available.
- Natural stone (e.g., granite): Unique patterns and excellent heat tolerance; requires sealing and care.
- Solid surface (e.g., seamless acrylic): Repairable and hygienic with integrated sinks; moderate heat resistance.
Australia has introduced restrictions on high‑silica engineered stone due to silica dust risks. Speak to your designer about compliant, low‑silica or alternative materials such as porcelain/sintered surfaces or natural stone. See Safe Work Australia for up‑to‑date guidance.
Splashbacks
- Large‑format porcelain or stone: Minimal grout and excellent heat resistance behind induction cooktops.
- Subway or kit-kat tiles: Timeless look; coordinate grout colour with benchtops.
- Toughened glass: Sleek and easy to clean; custom colours available.
Hardware and lighting
- Soft‑close hinges and drawers: Everyday comfort and longevity.
- Pull‑outs and corner solutions: Maximise storage in U‑shaped or L‑shaped layouts.
- LED strip lighting: Bright, efficient task lighting under overheads and within a butler’s pantry.
Benchtop comparison: Sintered porcelain vs laminate
| Feature | Sintered porcelain (ultra‑compact) | High‑pressure laminate |
|---|---|---|
| Heat resistance | Excellent; can tolerate hot pans briefly | Moderate; use trivets to avoid damage |
| Scratch/stain resistance | High; very dense, low porosity | Good for daily use; avoid cutting directly |
| UV stability | Excellent; colourfast in bright WA light | Good indoors; avoid prolonged direct sun |
| Cost (installed) | $$$–$$$$ (premium) | $ (best value) |
| Edge profiles | Square, mitred, waterfall edge possible | Squareform or tight radius edges |
| Maintenance | Low; non‑porous, easy clean | Low; avoid harsh abrasives |
| Outdoor suitability | Yes (great for alfresco bars) | No (indoor only) |

Layouts
- Galley kitchen: Efficient for apartments and terraces; add a tall pantry and integrated appliances.

Two quick Perth case examples
Claremont family Shaker update
A dated U‑shape became an L‑shape with a 2.7 m island in satin 2‑pack Shaker doors, stone‑look porcelain benchtops and a tiled splashback. We added soft‑close drawers, a 900 mm induction cooktop and a concealed rangehood. The result: more storage, better traffic flow and brighter, family‑friendly surfaces.
Fremantle apartment galley
For a narrow galley kitchen, we used matt melamine in warm white with timber‑look overheads, compact 600 mm appliances, an undermount sink and LED task lighting. A slimline laminate benchtop kept costs tight while improving prep space by 20%.
FAQ
How do I choose the best kitchen showrooms near me?
Look for kitchen display centres with full‑size kitchens, a broad range of materials, experienced designers and transparent quoting. Make sure they discuss compliance (AS/NZS cabinetry standards), use licensed trades, and can show local WA projects.
Do you only design kitchens, or also bathrooms, laundries and wardrobes?
Joyce Kitchens designs and installs kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and custom wardrobes so your whole home matches. Visiting our kitchen display showrooms is a great way to view finishes and storage ideas across all rooms.
What is a realistic timeline for a kitchen renovation in Perth?
From final sign‑off, allow 4–8 weeks for manufacture and 1–3 weeks for installation depending on scope, trades and materials. Complex work (e.g., 2‑pack, porcelain splashbacks) or peak seasons can extend this.
Which benchtop is best for WA conditions?
Sintered porcelain suits Perth’s bright, warm climate thanks to high heat and UV resistance. High‑pressure laminate is the best value choice, with many realistic stone or timber looks. Your designer will match the right surface to your budget and lifestyle.
Can you repair or retrofit existing cabinetry?
Yes. We can replace doors and benchtops, add soft‑close hardware, fit pull‑outs and adjust layouts where practical. A designer can advise whether repair or a full redesign will deliver better value.
