The flatpack upgrade
most people don't know exists.
Custom doors, drawer fronts, panels and tops — made in Sydney for the most common flatpack systems or the cabinets you're already using.
You buy the cabinets.
We make the rest.
Customea makes custom doors, drawer fronts, side panels and benchtops for IKEA and Bunnings flatpack cabinets. You keep the cabinet carcass. We replace everything you see — in your choice of finish, made-to-order in our Sydney factory.

Which system are you
working with?
Each opens a system-specific shop.
Will it actually fit
your cabinets?
Will it fit my cabinets?
IKEA PAX, METOD, BESTÅ & Bunnings items in our shop are the same standard measurements, with the same drilling.
For custom size items, enter your exact dimensions and hinge placement.
Always check your cabinet plan and measurements before ordering.
Do you supply cabinets?
We only offer a few set size cabinets for PAX extensions, appliance cabinets & open shelving.
We do not currently offer custom size cabinets.
