About Designer Living Kitchens
A bit about Designer Living Kitchens..
Designer Kitchens – There’s no doubt that your kitchen is the most important room in the house. It’s where you gather to share a meal – and talk about your day. It’s a place to entertain friends and family. To laugh and talk about the day over a meal.
When you’re designing your dream kitchen, you want to make sure that it ticks the boxes on style and utility.
Not only does it need to suit your lifestyle, but your kitchen design should also be practical – with enough room to make food preparation a breeze, it’s easy to clean, and it provides you with plenty of storage.
The same can be said when you’re renovating other parts of your home – whether it’s your laundry or your bathroom vanity. For more info about designer kitchens, contact us

The team at Designer Living Kitchens will transform your vision into reality
For over 25 years, the team at Designer Living Kitchens have been designing and manufacturing high-quality, custom-built kitchens and joinery for both home renovators and new home builders.
Our commitment is to provide you with a professional, friendly, and personal experience throughout the entire project.
Building beautifully designed kitchens takes skill and careful attention to detail. Our team of experienced staff are committed to a job well done.
We have three factories – at Port Macquarie, Tuggerah, and a small factory on the Queensland Gold Coast. Our sites are equipped with the latest machinery and software to ensure our joinery is made to your exact specifications and is of the best possible quality.
Using our state-of-the-art computer software programs, we can tell you how your job is tracking at any stage.
We know it’s important to stay in touch, so once your job starts, we’ll be in touch as your job progresses.
We offer a free in-home design service for homeowners, or an onsite service for our retail or small builders from our five locations – Port Macquarie, Laurieton, Coffs Harbour, Tuggerah, and Helensvale in Queensland.
Home renovations can be disruptive. So, we always aim to keep a clean and tidy workspace, especially at the end of a workday. It’s all part of the service.
Our 6-step process to designer kitchens laundry, or bathroom vanity you’ll love
01.
Let’s talk
Chances are you’ve already been searching online for ideas. When you’re ready to talk about what you have in mind, give us a call, and we’ll have a chat about your design. We’ll discuss the style you’re looking for, as well as your choice of appliances – and of course, your budget.
02.
We’ll help you visualise your design
At this point let’s start putting your idea’s together and our friendly sales team will work with you in making sure you get everything you want. Our team may also point out what will work better or easier for how you want to use your kitchen
03.
Your comprehensive quote
Once we’ve agreed on your design, we’ll send you a comprehensive quote.
As soon as you give us the go-ahead, the team will start working on your project.
04.
Our workshop jumps into action
Generally, it takes around 4 to 6 weeks to make your kitchen joinery. For a small kitchen or laundry, or for a simple cabinetry job, we’ll be a bit quicker. Time frames can change, but we’ll always keep in touch to let you know how we’re progressing and to set-up key dates for removal of your current kitchen and installation of the new one.
05.
We’ll put you in touch with reliable tradies
During the manufacturing period, it’s a good time for you to line-up other trades, like plumbers, tilers, and electricians. We have a list of reliable tradespeople we work with and are happy to recommend. We can also arrange a skip bin for the removal of your old kitchen, laundry, or joinery.
06.
Ready to install
Once we’ve arranged a mutually agreeable time to install, we start work.
As every project is different, we’ll discuss how long it will take to complete your new kitchen once we’re clear.
The story of Designer Living Kitchens
Our company had an ownership and name change in late 2011 to what is now Designer Living Kitchens. It was known as “Olsen’s Joinery “for the last 25 plus years. It’s still a family run business with two brothers and their wive’s now running the company.
On March the 1st 2014 in the early hours. Tragedy stuck the company. There Manufacturing plant burnt to the ground in Acacia Ave Port Macquarie (See photo’s in gallery).
Within 3 weeks 3 days we had found a new location (“The Port News Complex” in Milton Circuit Port Macquarie) and trucked in new state of the art automated equipment and were back on our own two feet.
The owners said, they couldn’t have done it without good insurance and great suppliers. Plus their dedicated staff that worked all but around the clock to get things back on track.
