Style Meets Durability

Design Notes

The project is done. You have the cabinets you always wanted. The space is exactly what you hoped for, and you are enjoying your new area. Some time has passed, and you notice that things are not working correctly. Drawers don’t close as they used to; noticeable warping is occurring on some of your cabinets, and there are cracks in the paint. As more time passes, your disappointment only grows as more issues arise. This was meant to be a project that lasted, a one-and-done deal. Now it looks like you will have to repair or redo it completely. Some new clients share a few of the issues they encountered with their previous renovation with other companies. Choosing a custom cabinet company means more than just an opportunity to create a design perfect for you. It means quality and durability. At Walker Woodworking, our promise to you is a quality product guaranteed to last and continue to represent the style you chose for years to come. Here are some of our popular styles.

Traditional Cabinet Style

This cabinet style remains among the top choices and is considered a more formal design. Some of the typical features include raised panels and elegant embellishments. It is showcased beautifully in rich wood tones such as oak and walnut, and harkens back to when things were not so rushed. If you are looking for a refined style that blends elegance with durability, this is it.

Shaker Cabinet Style

Versatile and popular. These words best describe the shaker style. It comprises five segments – vertical pieces on the sides called stiles, horizontal pieces on the top and bottom called rails, and a recessed panel in the middle. This style can lend itself to a variety of design choices, whether you prefer a country or contemporary flair. Whether painted or left in its natural wood, this cabinet style continues to be chosen by multiple clients. Shakers are also a great choice if you plan to sell your home later, since they are a well-favored option in kitchen design.

Farmhouse Cabinet Style

While this style shares similar characteristics with traditional, it has begun to develop its unique elements, including beadboard, shiplap, and reclaimed wood. Open shelving and glass-panel doors are sometimes added to give the space a more relaxed feel. The goal is to create a welcoming environment through minimalism and a subtle color palette, though a pop of color can be seen in many of the designs. This style trend will continue to be seen in the design world.

Modern Cabinet Style

Sleek and simple is usually what comes to mind with this style. The goal is to create a design that is no-nonsense and looks clean. Painted maple with a high-gloss finish in various colors tends to be the trend for this style. A mixture of materials, such as metal, glass, and wood, is often used in design choices. Due to its more simplistic style, the space can feel more open, airy, and clutter-free. Those who enjoy a unique space with an unrestricted design palette love the modern cabinet style.

Meant To Last

Our clients receive a design meeting where they bring their inspirational photos, expectations, and dreams to share with our designer. This meeting is key to the entire project because it sets the course for what will come. We want our clients to have a space that represents them and will last. Style and durability work together to deliver the ultimate home renovation that exceeds your expectations. With over 20 years of experience, we have provided hundreds of clients with a product that stands the test of time.
