Kitchenette by Plumbob - Space saving ideas

COMPACT KITCHENS FOR SMALL SPACES


Kitchenette was the combined brainchild of father and son, Harry and Robert Tollenaar. Both had been involved in the cabinetry industry for over 20 years and wanted to create a point of difference in the kitchen market.

For those in search of a small kitchen or kitchenette, the choices include either flatpack options or a custom design from a kitchen company. The former poses challenges with assembly, time constraints, and quality concerns, whereas the latter is often quite pricey.

Simplicity was the key factor. The aim was to create a range of kitchenettes with various options that could be delivered as complete units or with only basic assembly required. These would feature branded appliances, quality materials, and electrical and plumbing components pre-fitted and assembled in our factory to minimise on-site time and costs as much as possible.

What began as a small selection of three sizes and two styles has now expanded to multiple options. Choose from a wide range of standard kitchenettes or design your own. 

Design and assembly take place in our Auckland factory, with all products sourced locally.

Starting from humble beginnings, Kitchenette has established a reputation for simplicity, quality, affordability, and timely delivery. From district councils to granny flats, and office spaces to garages, Kitchenette has made its way into many lives.

While sales may have grown and life has become busier, Kitchenette still retains the same family qualities with both staff and customers. Treat people well—and keep it simple.

Testimonials

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a ready-made kitchenette from Kitchenette by Plumbob, and I am absolutely thrilled with the result! After spending considerable time comparing pricing for flat-packed units from Mitre 10 and Bunnings, I decided to go with a pre-assembled, professionally installed unit, and it was definitely the right choice.

The quality of the unit is outstanding—every detail is meticulously crafted, and the fittings are top-notch. From the sturdy structure to the sleek, modern design, this kitchenette has truly elevated the space. Not only does it look fantastic, but it also works seamlessly with the fridge/freezer and microwave that was supplied with the unit, providing everything I need in one compact and efficient design.

The delivery was prompt, arriving exactly when expected, and the installation was smooth and hassle-free. The customer service throughout the process was exceptional, with the team keeping me informed every step of the way and addressing any questions I had.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to invest in this unit, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality, well-made kitchenette. It has proven to be both a practical and stylish addition to my space.

We have received and installed several Kitchenettes to date for our Aged Care Facilities in the far North. Kitchenette’s save time, being delivered mostly assembled. The inclusion of appliances and pre-fitted electrical and plumbing components make life easy. My team had the kitchenettes fully assembled and in position within an hour due to pre-assembly, electrical pre-fitting and plumbing. I can fully recommend Kitchenette throughout the entire process.

I needed a small kitchen area for a hair salon. The size was exactly what we needed. Manufactured and delivered in a timely fashion. I love the fact that everything was included... microwave, fridge, power points and sink with tap and plumbing/electrical all included. Highly recommend.
