Planning Your Custom Cabinetry

Factors to Consider

Even before you start making cabinetry decisions, it pays to start thinking about what you want from those cabinets. As you begin to plan, be sure to consider the following:

Evaluate your current cabinet layout by identifying what works well and what doesn’t. Consider factors such as storage capacity, accessibility, organization, and overall flow to determine what changes could enhance both functionality and aesthetics.

Kitchen cabinets should seamlessly combine style and functionality to enhance both the look and efficiency of your space. Before selecting your new cabinets, take time to identify the features that matter most—such as soft-close doors, pull-out shelves, built-in organizers, or custom finishes—to ensure your storage meets both your aesthetic and practical needs.

Gain insight into the key differences between stained and painted cabinet finishes, including their appearance, durability, maintenance needs, and how they complement various design styles.

Evaluate which door and drawer front styles best complement your overall design aesthetic, considering factors such as material, finish, panel design, and hardware compatibility.

When selecting cabinet hardware, it’s important to consider not only its visual appeal but also its functionality. Choose pieces that complement your overall design while ensuring they offer a comfortable grip and durability for everyday use.
