Custom cabinets help you take advantage of your room's available space.
Many homeowners building or remodeling their homes dismiss the idea of custom cabinets out of hand, thinking that custom work will add significant expense to the project. However, custom cabinets can help you to create a more functional, beautiful living space, and often for less expense than you think. Does this Spark an idea?
Functionality
Adding custom cabinets can create needed functionality in nearly every room in your home. From bathrooms and kitchens to closets and family rooms, cabinets created to store the items your family cannot live without will make rooms seem larger and more finished. For bedrooms, bathrooms and even family rooms, custom cabinets designed to hold -- and hide -- necessary items can eliminate the need for furniture that may make the room a tight fit.
Created Space
When you're remodeling, custom cabinets can help you take advantage of space that may otherwise be unusable or lost. In small kitchens, custom cabinets that are not as deep as standard-size ready-made cabinets can create floor space while preserving storage space. In tiny bathrooms, tall, narrow or shallow custom cabinets can fit where traditional bathroom furniture pieces cannot, making storage an option where it may have been impossible. If you've got an oddly-shaped room, fitting in ready-made cabinets or furniture pieces may prove difficult, but custom cabinets can take advantage of the space available while working with the existing floor plan.
Unique Designs
Finding ready-made cabinets and furniture that mesh with a house that features unique design features can be difficult. If you've built an ultra-modern home in a rural area, big box stores may not carry cabinetry that fits with your design; likewise, if you've bought an old house that includes existing built-ins, ready-made cabinets or furniture may be difficult to match to these features. Buying custom cabinets can allow you to create the look that you want.
Price
Depending upon your project or where you live, custom cabinets may be as cost-effective as buying ready-made cabinets or furniture pieces. If you live in a remote area, local cabinet builders may offer simple designs for a price that's less than you'd pay for cabinets you'd buy off the shelf, once you figure in transportation costs. And if you're searching for a specific design, or want solid wood cabinets, a local cabinet maker may be as competitively priced as high-end designs offered ready-made in stores.
