Elevate Your Home with Custom Kitchen Cabinets: Essential Tips from Home Design Experts

Is your kitchen missing that special something? Want to transform the heart of your home into a wow-worthy space for entertaining and cooking healthy meals with family? Let your creativity shine with custom kitchen cabinets.

Say goodbye to the bland, bog-standard cabinets from the big-box store and hello to gorgeous handcrafted cabinets that perfectly match your style. Our home design consulting team makes it a snap to craft the cabinets of your dreams.

Explore our guide below to help you choose the perfect custom kitchen cabinets for your abode.

Why Custom Cabinets?

Basic cabinets may get the job done, but let’s face it, they’re far from unique. If you want cabinetry that reflects your personal style, customization is the way to go.

Here are just a few reasons why you’ll love opting for custom cabinets.

Maximize Your Space

Big-box cabinets don’t fully take advantage of the layout of your kitchen, which means there’s often wasted space that you could put to better use. With custom kitchen cabinetry, you can take advantage of every square inch of space in your kitchen. It’s a must for large families or adventurous home cooks.

Endless Design Possibilities

Choosing cabinets from a catalog isn’t much fun, and sometimes, it’s tough to find a style that you’re truly in love with. You won’t have to worry about finding the perfect design when you opt for custom kitchen cabinets. The only limits are your budget and your imagination.

The Finest Materials

Basic cabinets are often made from inexpensive particle boards that can crack, chip, and fade in just a few years. With custom cabinets, you choose the wood you’d like to use, whether that’s oak, mahogany, hickory, or walnut. Not only are these woods gorgeous, but they also stand the test of time.

Built To Last

Our seasoned carpenters craft custom cabinetry with the utmost care. We are dedicated artisans who take pride in our work.

Adds Value to Your Home

Custom cabinets certainly increase your property value, but they also add life value that relieves pains for you and your family and sparks joy. 

Discover a World of Custom Cabinetry Possibilities

Not sure which type of custom cabinets to choose? Whether you’d like a few wall cabinets or are craving custom sliding shelves, our team will help you find the perfect cabinets for your kitchen.

Base Cabinets

Base cabinets sit on the floor and against the walls. They provide support for the sink and countertops. These cabinets may contain small sliding drawers for cutlery and roomier storage areas for large items, such as pots and pans.

Wall Cabinets

Wall cabinets are suspended above countertops and appliances, and, as the name implies, mounted on the wall.

Shelving

Adding custom shelving is an excellent way to make the most of your kitchen’s square footage. Our team can craft shelving in a nearly endless array of styles, colors, and configurations.

Kitchen Islands

A kitchen island is a popular way to add more workspace to your food prep area. You can even customize your island to hold a sink or stove. Add a few chairs or bar stools to transform your island into a welcoming gathering space.

Decorative Touches

Decorative molding, valances, and cornices add an elegant touch to your custom kitchen cabinets.

Hallmarks of Cabinet Customization

When it comes to custom cabinets, there truly is no limit to the look you can achieve.

Cabinet Style

Do you prefer sleek, modern cabinets with clean lines? Or maybe you’re more into the vintage farmhouse look. Whatever your style, we can build your cabinets to match.

Finishes, Stains, and Colors

Choosing the color is one of the most exciting parts of crafting your custom cabinets because color sets the mood of your kitchen. Warm yellow makes your kitchen appear sunny and inviting, while red energizes and inspires.

Don’t forget about staining and finishing. The right stains and finishes protect your cabinet wood and keep it in superb condition for many years.

Wood Type

There’s nothing quite like cabinets made from real wood. Solid wood, such as hickory, cherry, and oak, adds a hint of luxury to your kitchen. If you’re on a budget, you can pair wood cabinet surfaces with wood composites, such as MDF, for baseboards and other hidden cabinet structures.

Pulls and Hinges

Who said cabinet hardware has to be boring? Add an attractive finishing touch with top-quality hinges, pulls, and handles.

Tips for Bringing Your Vision to Life

Follow these pro tips to design the cabinets you’ve always dreamed of.

Discover How Storage Solutions Can Complement Your Space

Are you making the most of your kitchen’s space? If you’re struggling to find room for all of your dishes, cutlery, and cooking ingredients, probably not. Maximize your space by adding floor-to-ceiling shelving or roomy cabinets with plenty of space for your largest pots, pans, and baking sheets.

Stick With High-Quality Materials and Top-Notch Craftsmanship

You want your cabinets to last, so choose the highest-quality materials that your budget allows. Solid wood cabinets can remain in great shape for decades with proper care. Opt for hinges and pulls made from metals such as iron, copper, brass, and steel.

A Rainbow of Colors To Choose From

Selecting the color is one of the most important parts of designing custom kitchen cabinets. Gray, black, and navy blue are ideal for modern kitchens, while bold colors like orange, red, and yellow inspire cooks and excite guests.

Consider Modern Design Trends for Added Aesthetic Appeal

Handleless cabinet drawers and built-in LED lighting are excellent additions to modern kitchen cabinets. If you’re selling your home, buyers love these extras, too.
