Contemplating Custom Kitchen Cabinets?
Your kitchen cabinets are the skeleton of your kitchen. Why not make them exactly what you want them to be? That’s what custom cabinetry allows you to do. Although going the custom route comes with a bit higher price tag, there are some major perks to choosing to splurge in this important space:
- Measure Twice, Cut Once
When putting together a set of custom cabinets, specific measurements are taken of your space. This allows cabinetry to be built to fit your kitchen like a glove. Stock cabinets, on the other hand, are pre-made and if your kitchen is not a normal shape or size it can be difficult to find the perfect fit. If your main wall is 20 feet long, cabinets can be made exactly 20 feet long.
- Optimizing Functionality
Everyone uses their kitchen differently. Some people want their silverware right next to the dishwasher; others want it under the plates. Some people want their coffee maker out on the counter; others want it hidden in a cabinet out of sight. Going with custom kitchen cabinets allows each person to make their kitchen function the way they want it to. They can layout the cabinets exactly how their kitchen habits tell them to. A bonus perk here is that no one will have the same exact kitchen layout that you do. You have the freedom to make the kitchen unique to you and your family’s needs. My family needs all the help they can get to stay organized. Custom cabinetry means I can utilize storage solutions that work for me, and keep my husband on track too.
- Matchy, Matchy
Another large perk of custom cabinetry is ensuring that the style of the cabinet matches the rest of your house. If your home has modern finishes, a traditional raised panel cabinet door would not be the best fit. Or if you are looking for a more ornate look, you can choose to go with cabinet doors that have molding and accessories that fit that look. Custom cabinetry allows you to design custom doors that will fit in with the rest of your home so your kitchen feels like it belongs there.
- Quality
Stock cabinets are not always made from the best materials. Because they are mass-produced, they are typically also cheaply produced. Going the custom route means you can pick exactly what type of wood you want the cabinets to be made of. Beyond that, you can choose if you’d like them to be stained or painted—and which wood options will be the best choice for that finish.
Stock cabinets may seem like the easy choice because there are fewer decisions to make. We promise though that you will not regret taking the time to make your kitchen exactly what you want it to be. Families spend more time in their kitchens than in any other room in the home. Make it a place that makes sense and functions well.
