Featured on Australian House & Garden: Transforming Joinery Through Colour, Texture, and Profile

A recent feature on Australian House & Garden explored the thinking behind Fliplab and how a relatively simple change can completely transform the feel of a space.

For our founder, Sacha Leagh-Murray, design is ultimately about giving people more ways to bring personality into their interiors.

That idea shapes everything we do at Fliplab.

Rather than treating cabinetry as purely functional, we see joinery as a way to shape the atmosphere of a home through colour, texture, profile, and materials. A shift in surface finish or cabinet detailing can completely change how a space feels, adding warmth, softness, contrast, or character without the need to rebuild the room.

And while kitchens are often the starting point, the same thinking extends across laundries, wardrobes, living spaces, and other areas of the home where joinery plays a central role in the overall experience.

That’s why Fliplab was created to offer a simpler and more accessible way to personalise joinery. Our custom doors, drawers, and panels are designed to integrate seamlessly with IKEA and Kaboodle cabinet systems, allowing homeowners to add a personal spin through designer doors, routed cabinet doors, and refined finishes without the complexity of fully custom cabinetry.

The feature also highlighted the experience inside our showroom, where everything is designed to be touched, layered, and explored—creating a space that sparks ideas and helps people imagine how they want their home to feel. Rather than presenting design as something overly technical, the showroom encourages a more intuitive way of creating, allowing customers to experiment with combinations of finishes, colours, textures, and profiled doors in a hands-on and natural way.

Because transforming joinery isn’t always about rebuilding everything.
Sometimes, it starts with the surfaces people interact with every day.
