Retreat Design | Our Point of Difference

If you’d like to know what sets us apart, then look no further. Our reputation and portfolio of past projects is proof of our continued relevance in the Perth market.

Have a read below for our point of difference to local cabinet makers.

UNIQUE

At Retreat Design, we have exclusive access to a world of Italian cabinetry that is not otherwise provided in Western Australia. Our standard door thickness starts at 20mm, ranging up to 26mm thick in some collections, making the sturdiness of our cabinetry indisputable. We also have a large range of sophisticated handleless look solutions on offer, capable of giving another level of distinction and interest to any space. On top of this, the technologies used to finish our doors and drawers cannot be replicated by local manufacturers; cabinetry finishes such as lacquer, render, porcelain, glass and stainless steel are completely specific to our Italian importers.

VALUE FOR MONEY

We pride ourselves on being highly competitive in pricing with local cabinetmakers, whilst still catering to the bespoke requirements of the spaces we encounter. Our standard package includes an obligation free consultation, modelling and quotation process with one of our interior designers, a comprehensive set of shop drawings that outline the exact dimensions and locations of your cabinetry and other accessories, a detailed site measure to ensure cabinetry is built to specification and three consistent points of contact throughout the duration of the project. We strive to deliver each project on budget and on time, every time.

HASSLE FREE

When you select Retreat Design as your cabinetmaker, you are dealing with a company that has been in the market for 12 years; we have seen and done it all! We provide formally qualified Interior Designers to work with you on the look and feel of your project, and a team of cabinetmakers to physically bring your project to life. Our staff are well versed in the cabinetry systems and know their possibilities and limitations, meaning we are equipped to provide a smooth pathway to a functional and attractive final outcome. While we are confident that our premium product will provide you with years of use to come, all of our projects are backed by a full care and warranty package.
