Consumer Information
Custom cabinets are more than just having them built to a specific width or height. It is about designing cabinets that are built with your specific needs and functions in mind. When it comes to designing custom cabinets, there are several things you should keep in mind, such as:
- Purpose of the room
- Specific layout needs
- Function
- Obstacles
Designing a custom layout means understanding your home’s specific needs, which an experienced designer can do. Do you have a wall that cannot be moved and needs cabinets built around it? We can and have done this on many projects. Do you need a cabinet that matches the historic style of your home? We have worked with multiple clients who wanted to stay true to the house’s roots. Our goal with each client is to build their custom cabinets with them in mind.
How To Design A Custom Plan
When beginning a renovation, it can be hard to know where to begin, as everything seems to come at once, overwhelming you. This is where our design team’s experience can assist you by making a customized plan for you. Planning is always the first step in any project because it will guide the entire process. At your first design appointment with our team, we prioritize listening and getting to know you. By doing this, we can better understand your specific needs for the cabinets and suggest things that will work best with your daily routines, including:
- Built-in coffee stations
- Drop zone for your entryway
- Feeding area for your pets
- Dividers for your kitchen cabinets
- Deep drawers for your bathrooms
Your home is meant to adjust to the unique needs of your family and lifestyle. It is essential that each area function in a way that makes your routines easier. If you enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning before going to work, there should be a beverage area in your cabinets to make it readily accessible, where your cup, cream, and even sugar are within easy reach. Your entryway should have a drop zone that is customized for your family’s needs. Some of our clients have chosen to have a cubby for each member of the family that allows them to keep their backpacks, briefcases, laptops, jackets, shoes, and anything they need when going out the door. This eliminates the frantic running around the house trying to find everything we need in the morning episodes we have all come to dread. We always like to include pets in the design since they are part of the family, too! Unique feeding stations built directly into the kitchen or laundry room cabinets can give your fur baby a place to eat that can be tucked away from sight when unused.
The kitchen is a particular area in the home, requiring extra consideration when designing the cabinets and layout. Think through the things you like to do, such as baking or even meal prep. You will need extra counter space or cabinets with dividers to simplify and keep baking sheets organized. The bathroom is another essential room in the home and should have features that make it easy to complete tasks efficiently. Deep drawers allow you to keep your counter clear and maximize storage in your vanity. Customized for you means you control the space and decide what truly matters for you and your family.
