If you are looking to get new cabinets, you might want to consider having them custom built instead of choosing stock cabinets. It is possible that you can find stock cabinets to fit your space, but they have a variety of limitations. Here are some reasons to consider paying a little more for cabinets that are customised to fit your needs.

More Time and Effort Goes Into Making Them

There is a distinct difference between cabinets you buy at a local hardware store that were made in an assembly line, to those that were custom-made by a skilled craftsman. You notice in every line and detail that they really put all their hard work into the cabinets. The cabinets not only look better, but they are built to last. Cabinet makers do this all day, every day, and they put their skills to good use. You will find that your cabinets last longer in this pristine condition than any store-bought cabinets ever have.

You Can Design Cabinets Not Available in Stores

If you have a creative eye and tend to decide what you want, but then can't find it available in stores, visiting a cabinet maker will be like a dream come true. You can let them know exactly what you envision your cabinets to look like, and they will do their best to get it done. Make sketches, bring them samples or swatches of material, and work together to make sure the finished result will be exactly what you imagine. This includes various finishes, textures, detail work, hardware, and paint colours.

You Can Customise Everything About Them

Don't just think about the fact that you can get the overall size you want to fit into your kitchen or choose the finish and colour; you can also choose everything inside the cabinets. If you have a particular section of cabinets that is going to hold canned food, you can multiple, shorter shelves built in that cabinet. Leave some cabinets open with less shelves for taller items, like cereal. You might know what appliances will go in what cabinet, which helps to have shelves that pull out to make it easier to grab them. For a cabinet with display items, such as your shot glass collection, consider clear glass cabinet doors.

Many cabinet makers will use locally-sourced wood if you choose to go this route, This allows you to also have eco-friendly cabinets for your kitchen, adding yet another benefit.
