Custom Home Cabinet Ideas

Tingen ConstructionHomeowner Tips

There are a million tiny decisions to make when designing your dream home. This is especially true when it comes to your kitchen. From appliances to flooring, there are endless opportunities to put your personal touch on the space. When it comes to cabinetry, there are more options than you might realize. Here are some ideas worth your consideration:

Inset Cabinetry

Inset cabinets are all the rage right now. They feature doors and drawer fronts that are flush with the face frame of the cabinet. Their traditional, high-end feel makes them a natural fit in any style of kitchen. Whether you gravitate towards modern farmhouse decor or dream of a mid-century inspired kitchen, inset cabinetry is sure to elevate the space.

Frameless Cabinets 

This sleek, modern look is incredibly popular in Europe. Frameless cabinets go beyond just looking stylish, too – the design offers full access to the interior cabinet space and features larger drawer box capacity. There are some drawbacks to consider, though; since hinges are mounted to the sidewalls, they may be less reliable than traditional framed cabinetry.

Glass Front Cabinets

Want to brighten up a dark room? Glass front cabinets are an ideal way to add light and play with texture in your kitchen. They’re also a great way to showcase pretty ceramics and glassware. You may not want every cabinet in the room to have glass fronts, though – the style can reveal clutter and dust if you’re not careful about regular maintenance. With custom cabinetry, though, you can pick one or two select cabinets and opt for more traditional styles for the rest of the kitchen.

Flat Front Cabinets

If you’re looking for something low-maintenance that’s easy to clean, flat front cabinets are the way to go. Also known as slab doors, these cabinets offer a minimalist look that’s both timeless and elegant. Their simplicity allows for major customization. If you’ve been wanting to showcase customized knobs and drawer pulls, flat front cabinets provide the ultimate stage. While this style can look a little stark at first, paint and hardware can do wonders to transform the simple design.
