Your kitchen is about to get a facelift! When planning a kitchen remodel, careful time and attention in selecting your cabinets pays off. Your cabinets are often the most expensive part of a kitchen renovation, you are likely to use them daily, and they are a substantial visual component of your kitchen’s new style.

Custom Cabinets- You control everything about each cabinet. Everything is exactly to your specifications, from the materials, shape, pull-outs, paint, and finishes.
Semi-Custom Cabinets- Think of designing your kitchen with semi-custom cabinets like building blocks or Lego bricks. You get to choose what goes where, but you have limited options.
You’ve got endless possibilities for cabinet door styles, especially if you opt for custom cabinets. Here’s a cabinet door cheat sheet to expand your vocabulary and help you find the precise search terms to identify the look you envision.
Picking the perfect color for your kitchen cabinets is a vital step in your design. You don’t have to pick just one. Many clients opt for two-toned cabinets to capture a more nuanced look and a wider color palette. Our favorite colors for kitchen cabinets include:
Your kitchen cabinets are usually one of the biggest investments in your remodel. Quality cabinets stand up to the demand of heavy daily use and protect everything you store inside them. Expect to pay between $500 and $1200 per linear foot for your custom kitchen cabinets. If you opt for semi-custom or stock cabinets, you will pay between $200 and $650 per linear foot.
Corner Drawers-There’s no reason to waste the corner space. Custom corner drawers can provide the storage you need.
Super Susan- This upgrade from the plastic nightmare of yore can spin for selection or glide out. A super Susan is a great way to make your corners count.
Pull-Out Workspaces- Pull out a peninsula or a cutting board to get the real estate you need for a big job, and tuck it away, so it’s not in the way on the daily.
Vertical Storage- We all know about the frustration sorting through a utensil drawer can create. Install rows of canisters in a vertical pull-out to keep every spatula and set of tongs easily accessible.
Built-in Step Stools- Short people and families with kids can access the top shelf with ease, and the kitchen stays free of the tripping hazard a step stool creates.Down with False Drawers- Why create the illusion of a drawer when you could just build a drawer? Even if the surrounding space creates a unique shape or size restriction, your expert cabinetmakers can create a custom solution that maximizes your storage.
The Super Secret Drawer- Create a drawer that doesn’t look like a drawer. Playful and practical, you can stash your super secret stuff in a hidden drawer.
Cozy Spaces for Furry Family- Build a pet bed cubby so your buddy can watch you work. Install a pot filler and a pet feeding station to avoid trekking between the sink and Fido’s bowls.
Accessibility for Aging-in-Place- If you plan to live in your home indefinitely, failing to account for future accessibility needs during your current remodel can commit you to another one as you age in place. Creating lower countertops, simple pull-outs, easy-grip pulls, and soft-close hinges are a few subtle ways to create accessible cabinets.
