Good cabinetry is the backbone of any kitchen — and the difference between a kitchen that works and one that frustrates is almost always in the storage. The Property Masters makes custom kitchen cabinets and storage joinery in Dubai, built to your exact kitchen dimensions and designed around how you actually use the space. This page covers standalone cabinetry and storage joinery: individual cabinet runs, pantry units, utility-room storage and additional kitchen storage fitted to an existing kitchen. For full kitchen design — layout, appliance coordination, worktops and a complete renovation — see our modular kitchen design page.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets — Standalone Joinery vs Full Kitchen Design
Before we get into the detail, a clear distinction worth making:
- Custom cabinetry (this page) — individual cabinet units, additional storage, pantry joinery and utility-room storage, built and fitted to an existing kitchen or space. Ideal when you want to add, replace or upgrade cabinets without a full kitchen renovation.
- Full modular kitchen design — a complete kitchen from scratch: layout planning, appliance selection, worktops, splashbacks and all cabinetry coordinated as one design. See our modular kitchen page for that service.
If you are not sure which applies to your situation, call us — we will advise honestly.
What we make under custom kitchen cabinetry
Base cabinets
- Standard base units — with or without drawers; sized to your run and appliance positions.
- Corner solutions — carousel (lazy Susan), pull-out corner systems, or dead-corner drawers; the corner is one of the most wasted areas in a kitchen.
- Under-sink unit — configured around your plumbing; with or without doors.
- Drawer-stack base unit — a full column of drawers; more accessible than a single deep drawer.
Wall cabinets and tall units
- Wall-hung cabinets — above the worktop; sized to ceiling height if desired for maximum storage.
- Tall larder / pantry unit — a full-height cabinet for food storage, pull-out larder baskets, or a broom/appliance column.
- Full-height integrated column — built to house a fridge, oven or tall appliance seamlessly in the run.
Pantry and utility room storage
- Walk-in pantry fit-out — shelving, pull-out baskets, drawer units and door organisers for a dedicated pantry room or large alcove.
- Utility room joinery — storage around a washing machine and dryer, with overhead cabinets and a fold-down ironing board if needed.
Hardware and mechanisms
- Soft-close hinges and drawer runners — standard on all our cabinetry; the difference in feel and longevity is significant.
- Push-to-open — handle-free option for a minimal kitchen aesthetic.
- Pull-out systems — spice drawers, pull-out bins, cutlery inserts and pan organisers sized to your cabinet widths.
- Lift-up door systems — for wall cabinets where swing clearance is limited.
Finishes
- PU (polyurethane) lacquer — the right choice for kitchen environments; hard, wipeable, heat-resistant, available matt or gloss.
- Veneer — real wood grain on a stable engineered core; popular for warm, natural kitchen aesthetics.
- Lacquered MDF — good for lower-heat areas and pantry joinery.
- Colour matching — we can match an existing cabinet colour if you are adding to an existing kitchen rather than replacing it.

What Affects the Cost of Custom Cabinets
- Number and size of units — more cabinets, more cost.
- Material and finish — PU lacquer and veneer cost more than basic lacquered MDF.
- Hardware specification — soft-close is standard; pull-out internal systems are an addition.
- Complexity — corner solutions and integrated appliance columns involve more bespoke work.
- All prices subject to +5% UAE VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between custom cabinets and a modular kitchen?
Custom cabinetry (this page) means individual units or storage joinery built to fit your existing kitchen or space — adding, replacing or upgrading cabinets without a full renovation. A modular kitchen means designing and installing a complete new kitchen: layout, worktops, appliances, splashbacks and all cabinetry coordinated as one project. We do both — we advise which is right for your situation after a site visit.
How much does custom kitchen cabinetry cost in Dubai?
Custom cabinets are priced by the number and size of units, material choice, finish and internal hardware. We quote every job free after a site measure. All prices are subject to +5% UAE VAT.
Can you add cabinets to an existing kitchen to match the current ones?
Yes. If you are adding storage to an existing kitchen, we colour-match the finish as closely as possible so the new units blend with what is there. We inspect the existing finish at the site visit and advise on achievable match quality.
What finish is best for kitchen cabinets in Dubai?
PU (polyurethane) lacquer is our recommendation for kitchen cabinet doors — it is hard, wipeable, heat-resistant and holds up well in the UAE kitchen environment. Veneer is a good choice for a natural wood look in lower-heat areas like a pantry.
Can you fit out a pantry room or walk-in pantry?
Yes. We design and fit out walk-in pantries and large pantry alcoves with shelving, pull-out baskets, drawer units and door-mounted organisers — making the most of the available space.
