When a homeowner kicks off a remodeling project, one thing that’s often overlooked is the home’s cabinet space. With so much going on with the remodeling project, cabinetry can sometimes just get left out of the picture.
But cabinets should never be an afterthought in remodeling. In fact, you should make them a priority because cabinetry and storage can nearly make or break a home. Continue reading to learn all about custom storage cabinets if you’re remodeling your house.
What are custom cabinets?
Unlike stock cabinets you’d find at a big box store, custom cabinetry is designed to fit within your kitchen or bathroom. They can be made of a variety of materials and come in any style you can imagine. Most of the time, custom cabinets are made of higher-end wood and crafted with the utmost care.
As you can probably tell, custom cabinets also can’t just be picked up from a home improvement store. Instead, you need to work with a local contractor to measure your space and fabricate your cabinetry by hand.
What are the benefits of custom cabinetry?
Although they take longer to make and can be more expensive, custom storage cabinets are worth the money. Here are a few of the reasons to invest in custom cabinetry:
- Durability: We can’t cover custom cabinets without mentioning cabinet durability. Since they’re made of higher-quality wood and crafted by hand, custom cabinets are much more durable than their stock counterparts. This means they can hold greater weights and put up with more wear and tear than something you’d find at the hardware store.
- Customization: Sure, you can find stock cabinetry to match your kitchen or bathroom, but you’re still limited to certain styles and colors and by what the store has in stock at any given moment (which is often an issue nowadays). When you choose custom cabinets during your bathroom or kitchen remodeling project, you have complete control over the end product. Additionally, this customization allows you to install cabinets in irregularly shaped rooms.
- Ample storage space: You can’t forget all of the extra storage space you get with custom cabinetry. Homeowners who design custom cabinets can choose their size, height and depth. Plus, there’s the option to add more shelves or drawers to fit the homeowner’s needs. Simply tell your cabinet designer want you want, and they’ll craft cabinets that meet and exceed your expectations.
- Greater home value: Custom cabinets do cost more than stock ones, but they provide you with a higher resale value should you ever choose to sell your home. If you want the biggest bang for your buck with your kitchen or bathroom remodeling project, be sure to upgrade to custom cabinets.
