Julia FairleyFebruary 25, 2019

Chief Sub-Editor and Writer, Houzz Australia and New Zealand. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

Are you tired of plain-faced cabinets and cupboards? Or feeling a little jaded by joinery that lacks a strong stylistic signature? Here are 30 winning examples of cabinetry and joinery that turn up the texture.

And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work by clicking on a photo.
