– Reasons to Choose Custom-Designed Cabinets
If you’ve noted all the signs that point towards updating your kitchen, you might be planning a kitchen remodelling project that will enable you to customise and decorate your kitchen for a new and improved look and functionality. We’re here to tell you why you should consider custom-designed kitchen cabinets for your home to make your kitchen renovation a success.
Let’s first talk about what it means to custom-design your kitchen cabinets, and then we’ll move on to why you need to consider customisation over readymade cabinets.
What Are Custom-Designed Kitchen Cabinets?
Your kitchen needs a row of cabinets to help you store your food smartly and provide you sufficient space to place all of your pots and pans out of sight. No matter which kitchen design and interior style you choose, it will always come with cabinetry installed into the walls or under the island to help you store your excess dinnerware, cutlery, and appliances.
Since kitchen décor is incomplete without wall cabinets, you’ll have to make a choice between premade or custom cabinets. Now, what are custom-designed kitchen cabinets?
If you visit a furniture showroom, you’ll see a fancy kitchen with an array of storage space, and if you choose to install the design at home, it will come complete with its cabinetry. But what if it doesn’t fit your space? What if it isn’t the colour you want it in? What if you want a different design, texture, or style? There’s also the possibility that spacious as it might look, the cabinet does not make full use of the internal storage space, making you wish for an extra shelf to use the top half of the cupboard too.
This is where custom-designed cabinets come into play. You not only get to choose the materials, designs, colours, and technicians for the job, but you also get to customise the interior of each cabinet, making sure it makes maximum use of the available space, gives you proper access, fits your kitchen perfectly, and reflects your personal style. Let’s talk about all of these benefits of custom kitchen cabinets below.
Benefits of Choosing Custom-Designed Cabinets for Your Kitchen
The significant advantages that you get when you decide to customise the design of your kitchen cabinets are:
- Get Unlimited Design Options
- Choose Eco-Friendly Materials
- Benefit from Custom Storage Solutions
- Make a Personal Style Statement
- Enjoy Better Durability
Here’s a detailed discussion on each of these pros of opting for customisation of your kitchen cabinets.
Get Unlimited Design Options
Your kitchen’s aesthetic appeal depends largely on the cabinetry, because it takes up the largest chunk of your walls and open space, hiding all the mess from your guests. Thus, one of the biggest benefits of choosing custom-designed kitchen cabinets is that you get the option to merge a number of styles, designs, colours, textures, and materials into a single and seamless kitchen décor with unlimited design potential. From the shape and size of each cupboard to the door frames, door handles, edging, choice of materials, polishing, and so on, you get to pick and choose exactly what colour scheme you want and how you want to incorporate it into the space.
For instance, you might consider going for wooden cabinets with a door that is framed to hold a piece of textured glass that not only adds fanciness to your kitchen but also blurs the glass enough that nothing is visible from the outside. With wood as your material of choice, you can choose to polish it or use laminate to coat the cabinets, polishing just the rounded edges in your chosen colour scheme.
In terms of cabinet designs, you might also consider adding floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, or just a few cupboards under the countertop or kitchen island. The choices really are endless when you begin exploring custom cabinet designs for your kitchen remodelling project.
Choose Eco-Friendly Materials
Some may prefer the convenience of readymade cabinets, but if you choose to bring something home from the store to install, you never know what goes into its making and how harmful it might be to your direct environment. One reason to opt for custom-designed cabinets is that along with the freedom to choose your own designs and materials, you also get a chance to select eco-friendly materials for your build—a luxury that is not offered by readymade cabinetry.
Benefit from Custom Storage Solutions
Have an awkwardly shaped kitchen with inclined walls? Got too many corners and don’t want to spend time deep inside the corner cabinets looking for your stuff? Choosing custom-designed cabinets allows you to create a storage space that is well-aligned, not just to your interior space, but also to your storage needs. If you have a back problem that prevents you from bending double and looking into cupboards, don’t put your health at risk.
Simply opt for custom storage solutions inside the cabinets, like a pull-out rack, sliding shelves, door hooks for smaller items, and so on. You can also opt for hinged doors that open up or down instead of sideways or sliding doors that part to give you access to your belongings, depending on the space available in your kitchen.
Make a Personal Style Statement
Of course, custom designing any part of the house means projecting your sense of style and making a bold statement about your preferences. This is something that you might not be able to do with a readymade alternative, as it is rare to find something that exactly fits the image in our heads when we consider a kitchen décor idea.
So, this is the perfect opportunity to get your creative juices flowing and design the cupboards as you want them to, reflecting your personality, taste, and sense of style in the heart of your home. Go for bold colours, fancy door handles, unique shapes and designs, and set yours apart from the kitchens you find in every other home.
Enjoy Better Durability
The best part about custom designing your cabinets is that this type of construction is not done in a workshop. It is done right in front of your eyes, inside your home. While it may seem messy and take a while, the results are well worth it. Custom-designed kitchen cabinets are more durable and functional in comparison to premade versions. You’ll always find more love of labour involved in custom projects in contrast to factory-made goods that are produced in bulk. That extra bit of love and care gives your storage solutions a longer lifespan and much better quality overall.
You will not be complaining about peeling laminates, broken door handles, or chipping polish anytime soon with a custom job, because you can oversee every part of the build yourself with the help of the carpenter you’ve chosen for the task.
These benefits of choosing custom-designed cabinets for your kitchen should be enough to convince you to go for them. If that’s the case, start your kitchen renovation today for the best results!
