AUSTRALIA-WIDE SHIPPING
A Bunnings kitchen planner is a free online design tool provided by Bunnings Warehouse that lets you plan, visualise and customise your kitchen layout in 2D and 3D before you begin a renovation or new kitchen project. In simple terms, it’s like having a virtual design studio where you can input your space — including dimensions, cabinet layouts, appliances and finishes — and see how your kitchen could look before you buy anything.
The planner guides you step‑by‑step from choosing your layout and appliances to experimenting with colours, cabinet styles, splashbacks and even floor finishes. This makes it easier to make confident decisions, reduces guesswork, and helps you communicate your ideas with tradespeople or Bunnings kitchen consultants.
Here’s why so many Australians use a kitchen planner: it turns imagination into a visual plan that’s ready for quoting, purchasing, and installation.

You can also use the planner in tandem with Bunnings’ design services, where expert consultants refine your design and produce detailed plans or quotes.
Together these options make kitchen planning accessible, whether you’re renovating on a budget or designing something aspirational and luxe.
How to Use the Bunnings Kitchen Planner
Using the kitchen planner is designed to be intuitive, even if you’ve never planned a kitchen before.
Step 1: Enter Your Room Dimensions
Start by inputting your kitchen’s width, length, and ceiling height so the tool can create a realistic room model.
Step 2: Choose Your Layout
Select typical kitchen layouts — such as galley, U‑shape, L‑shape or island configurations — based on your space and how you use your kitchen.
Step 3: Add Cabinets and Appliances
Drag and drop cabinets, shelves, cooktops, ovens, sinks and more into your kitchen plan.
Step 4: Select Finishes
Customize cabinet colours, door styles, benchtops, splashbacks and flooring to match your aesthetic.
Step 5: View in 3D
Switch between 2D layout and 3D view to visualise how all elements work together.
Step 6: Save and Print
Save your design, generate a shopping list, and take it into store or share with a kitchen consultant for a quote.
This planner puts control in your hands and removes much of the stress from kitchen design — especially if you’re doing a lot of the project yourself.

Bunnings Kitchen Planner Trends in Australia for 2025
1. Integrated Planner + Consultation
Combining online planners with in‑store or online expert consultations is becoming more popular as Aussies demand polished design outcomes.
2. Realistic 3D Visualisation
Homeowners want planners that show more lifelike representations of materials, finishes and lighting.
3. Inclusive Design Tools
Expect tools that help with laundry, pantry or multifunctional room planning guided by the same interface.
4. Connected Shopping Lists
Planners that generate item lists you can take to stores or share with professionals streamline the build process.
5. Mobile‑Friendly Planning
Accessing planning tools via smartphones and tablets is increasingly essential for design on the go.
Here’s why this matters: kitchens are no longer just functional spaces — they’re design statements, and 2025 planning tools reflect that shift.
Styling Advice After Using a Kitchen Planner
Once your layout is finalised, styling choices matter to bring warmth and personality to your kitchen.
Anchor with Lighting
Choose pendants over islands and statement fixtures to define zones.
Coordinate Metals
Keep tapware, handles and lighting finishes consistent — brushed brass or matte black works beautifully.
Add Natural Textures
Layer timber, stone and soft textiles for depth.
Introduce Greenery
Potted herbs and greenery soften hard surfaces and add fresh vibes.
Balance Colours
Use your planner’s colour choices as a base, then introduce accent tones through décor and accessories.
Styling creates a space you love living in — not just one that works.
