A Guide to Custom Cabinetry
Cabinet making involves much more than simply building kitchen cupboards.
A professional cabinet maker can design, manufacture and install custom cabinetry for many different areas of a home or commercial property.
From kitchens and laundries to living rooms, studies and commercial fit-outs, custom cabinet making is about creating storage and functional spaces specifically for the project.
What Is Custom Cabinet Making?
Custom cabinet making involves manufacturing cabinetry to suit the dimensions and requirements of a particular space.
Unlike standard flat-pack cabinetry, custom cabinets can be designed around the room, the customer and how the space will be used.
The process can include:
- Project briefing
- Measuring
- Cabinet design
- Material and finish selections
- Manufacturing
- Assembly
- Installation
- Final adjustments
Each project can vary depending on its size and complexity.
Kitchen Cabinetry
Kitchens are one of the most common areas where cabinet makers are involved.
Custom kitchen cabinetry may include:
- Base cabinets
- Overhead cupboards
- Pantry cabinets
- Island benches
- Drawer systems
- Appliance cabinetry
- Tall storage
- Integrated storage solutions
The cabinetry can be designed around the kitchen layout and appliance specifications.
Laundry Cabinetry
Laundries can benefit significantly from custom cabinetry, particularly when space is limited.
Cabinet makers can create:
- Overhead cabinets
- Tall storage
- Linen cupboards
- Bench areas
- Appliance surrounds
- Cleaning storage
This can help make a small utility area far more practical.
Bathroom Cabinetry
Custom bathroom cabinetry may include vanities, tall cabinets, drawer storage and other built-in solutions.
Bathroom cabinetry can be designed to suit the dimensions of the room and coordinate with the broader renovation.
Living Rooms and Entertainment Areas
Cabinet makers can also create cabinetry for living spaces.
This may include:
- Entertainment units
- TV cabinetry
- Built-in shelving
- Display cabinets
- Bookcases
- Storage units
Custom living room cabinetry can help integrate storage into the overall design of the room.
Studies and Home Offices
With more people working from home, study and office cabinetry has become increasingly important.
Cabinet makers can create:
- Built-in desks
- Shelving
- Filing storage
- Overhead cupboards
- Study nooks
- Workstations
Custom cabinetry allows these spaces to be designed around the available room.
Commercial Cabinetry
Cabinet makers may also work on commercial projects.
Commercial cabinetry can include:
- Office storage
- Reception areas
- Staff kitchens
- Retail counters
- Display cabinetry
- Workstations
- Built-in storage
Commercial projects may require coordination with builders, business owners and other trades.
Working With Builders
Cabinet makers often work closely with builders on new homes, renovations and commercial projects.
Builders may provide architectural plans, cabinetry schedules, appliance specifications and project timelines.
Early coordination can help ensure cabinetry fits correctly within the broader construction project.
