What Do Custom Cabinets Offer You?

Understanding the Benefits of Custom Cabinets in a Living Space

There is a growing trend in people personalizing their houses to meet their needs. The growing trend is with custom cabinets in Raleigh, NC. You might be wondering what benefits a custom cabinet could give you that a normal one cannot. It is clear right off the bat that a custom cabinet is more expensive in comparison to normal cabinets and semi-custom ones. However, they offer a longer shelf life, the extra storage that you want, and can add a lot of character to the home.

Cabinet Materials Matter

Most people assume that the term ‘custom cabinets’ means that they are better than the rest. The quality of the cabinet depends on the material used to make it. This is what people like most; they the choice of selecting long-lasting materials instead of settling for readymade cabinets that are made out of low-quality materials. The readymade cabinets are known as stock cabinets and they are the cheaper option since they are displayed on the shelf waiting for the consumers to purchase them and affix. Semi-custom cabinets are partially built before a person makes an order. They are slightly unfinished in order for the customer to personalize it some. Below are some of the benefits of selecting a custom cabinet in Raleigh, NC for your home.

Benefits of a Custom Cabinet

  1. Vintage style custom kitchen cabinetPersonalization: They fit the unique design of the room, storage preferences, cooking habits, and design preferences and lifestyle of the person. Stock cabinets are average and are the best fit for averagely designed spaces. If your home is unique or you want to make it that way, they custom cabinets are for you.
  2. Fit the space: If space has an odd or abnormal shape, the last thing you should think about doing is trying to fit a stock cabinet. A custom cabinet by Edgewood Cabinetry is bound to meet your needs and fit the required space.

  3. Choice of materials: You can customize the cabinet further by choosing the materials that will be used to make it. You have the option of choosing the finish, style and wood used to make it. If you choose to use semi-custom and stock cabinets, you just won’t have this option. If you want to have more control over the design of your home, custom cabinets are what you need.
  4. Increased storage space: Not all cabinets have the same amount of storage space available. Limiting yourself to pre-fabricated cabinets could leave you lacking a lot of the storage space that you desperately wanted. The beauty of a custom cabinet is that you can measure the space and make cabinets that fit any space, even if it is abnormally large or small.

Custom Furniture Is A Great Gift

We all love giving and receiving gifts during Christmas, and there is no shortage of gifts out there that you can buy. However, nothing says someone is special like high quality custom furniture. It is more expensive, yes, but it is a gift that will last a lifetime and one that will be treasured. So why should you choose custom furniture as a gift item this Christmas?

  1. Superior Quality 

Mass produced gifts are cheaper, but the quality cannot even be compared to that found in custom made gifts. Custom furniture is handmade from the best of materials, the artwork is intricate and detailed, and you can be certain no two pieces are identical. They will never go out of fashion and the quality stands the test of time as long as it’s taken care of.

  1. Custom Furniture Makes a Statement

Furniture, just like clothing, makes a statement about the person who owns it. Custom furniture exudes class, style, value, and beauty that can never be found from mass-produced furniture pieces.

  1. The Handcrafted Quality is Unmatched

The detail and attention put into custom furniture is like no other. Quality is the key element in creating custom pieces. Some of the artwork done dates back centuries ago and only skilled masters can replicate it. In fact, some custom furniture pieces take months or years to complete because the handcrafted elements are delicate and require attention and patience. This is just the name of the game, if you want perfection you have to work carefully and watch every single detail.

  1. You Are Guaranteed Qualitycrown molding on cabinets

If you want to find out if custom furniture is legit and worth your money, look out for pieces that have a guarantee and/or are insured. Most custom furniture makers also offer maintenance services such as polishing for a subsidized fee to customers. If you’re going to spend a lot of money on a piece of furniture that you hope will live through generations, then you might as well make sure that it is treated with the respect it deserves. Nothing says I value you more than that kind of custom furniture. So looking for a special gift for a special someone this Christmas? Custom furniture it is.

  • Custom Furniture is Made From The Best Wood

Unlike mass-produced furniture that is popularly made from wood imitations, custom furniture is only made from the absolute best quality wood that has gone through advanced treatment to ensure that it is sturdy, and can survive for years to come. When you invest in custom furniture you can be certain it will live beyond the person you gifted it too. His/her children and their children will most likely enjoy that piece of furniture. That’s pretty amazing, you don’t get that with most other things!

Don’t just fill your cabinet space, create something amazing in it.

New Cabinet Designs

Settling for a custom design should not mean that you’re not open to new ideas. A true custom cabinet maker may have even better ideas than yours, and offer those to you as you work on the project. They can take your dreams and thoughts and transform them into something magnificent. You only need to be open minded to their ideas. Furthermore, such a cabinet maker is continuously keeping up with new skills and knowledge in cabinet making. They are aware of the trends in custom cabinet making and can advise you accordingly. Cabinet makers, Raleigh such as Edgewood Cabinetry are on top of their game.

Customer Service

If you are working with a true custom cabinet maker, you know that in the end you’re going to have a quality product.

QualityMudroom

Get The MOST Out Of Your Custom Cabinets

What Can Beat Custom Cabinets?Organize Kitchen Cabinets

Every homeowner wants nothing more than a home that satisfies their taste and looks good to others. Cabinets are an amazing way to add taste to your home. On top of that, what could be better than getting to design exactly how your cabinets look and work so that YOU can get the most use out of them!

  • They allow you to match your décor and architecture exactly.
  • They allow you to add specialized touches to suit your specific needs.

Reservations about custom made cabinets may arise from their expensive nature when compared with cheap and easy pre-made cabinets. Unfortunately, cheap does not assure you of effectiveness and attractiveness. If you are still unconvinced about the advantages of custom made cabinets, here are other reasons to consider:

Looking Good

Custom cabinets of good quality can be made from any type of wood and trim you can imagine. Whether your home is full of rustic pine furniture or simple bohemian furniture, a custom designed cabinet can be made of the same style. Such a cabinet can also feature a unique trim or crown-molding pattern. With these pre-made cabinets, you get none of these customization options!

Conquering Space

You may have noticed that older homes are not designed to accommodate the standard sizes of pre-made cabinets. In many cases the kitchen is rarely the ideal width. As a result, awkward spacers are necessary to be fitted between standard-size cabinets. Fortunately, custom-made kitchen cabinets save your kitchen of awkwardness. These cabinets can be made for any size even in odd spaces that don’t need to go unused. Custom is key, your cabinets will fit like a glove and truly look incredible.

Personal TouchBathroom Storage

Standard pre-made cabinets follow the mantra one-size-fits-all which is more often than not a false premise. There’s just something about a custom-made cabinet. For instance, you can add a wine rack, rotating spice shelves or a glass door that shows off your china to your custom-made kitchen cabinet. You can also use custom-made cabinets for your living room. At Edgewood cabinetry, a master custom cabinet maker, we give you the opinion to add a personal touch to your cabinets. Even if you’re not sure what you want, we can bounce ideas together until we find something you love!

Quality Of Workmanship

Custom-made cabinetry is always handled by the professional whom you choose. Professionalism ensures that your standards are met and that the investment in your home is more than worth your money. Regardless of whether you are hiring an interior designer or directly working with a registered cabinet maker, the process of making custom-made cabinets is always managed by a trained professional. As a result, your cabinets should always turn out to be of excellent quality. Edgewood Cabinetry guarantees you professionalism. We endeavor to make your finished product something you are proud of and can enjoy for a long time. We ensure every single thing we produce is something we’d be proud to display in our own homes.

An Investment Into Your Home

Benefits of Bespoke Furniture

Custom Cabinets Are THE Way To Go

Advantages of Custom Made CabinetsBenefits of Bespoke Furniture

Owning a home for the first time is exciting in different ways for everyone, but we all have different ways of expressing this intense joy! Research shows us that of all aspects of the home, people spend the most time and energy on desgning and coming up with a good layout for their home. People building a home for the first time love to throw in their own touch on what they do, personalize their first big project only makes them feel even more proud of what they’ve done!

Every room in the house matters; whether bedroom, dressing room, kitchen, or living room. Edgewood cabinetry comes in to help you add taste to every corner of your house. Kitchens, generally considered the heart of the home,  are loved for the variety of customizations and different designs options you can fit into them! Just be sure to keep the rest of your home interior in mind when designing the kitchen, you want it to fit in with the rest of the house.

A well-designed kitchen not only saves you time any un-nessicary headaches, it just makes it more comfortable to operate in the space. Having custom cabinets in the kitchen only improves your situation. Usually, Edgewood cabinetry’s custom kitchen cabinets are designed to the homeowners exact taste. Most people want everything to be in the right place and neatly stored away. Custom made kitchen cabinets can be expensive, but there are multiple advantages to designing them to fit into YOUR space.

  1. Offers multiple options.

When it comes to Edgewood cabinetry, the sky is the limit.  Since it is designed for your space and pace, you choose the type of wood, style, and finish of your cabinets. You can even decide on the specific storage/shelving hardware you want installed! Working directly with the cabinet designer/builder is a great way to guarantee that you get exactly what you envisioned. If you get a pre-built you may get kinda what you want, but it will never exactly meet your desires.

Although contractors aim to do quality work, jobs can quickly end up shoddy at times just due to miscommunication and simple errors that result from that. They may not capture the essence of your design, they may not even give you the options you want! At the end you very well may be disappointed, but it is too late to do much unless you want to start over (hint: you probably don’t). Dealing with the cabinet manufacturer gives you full control of the decisions to be made regarding the cabinets. Edgewood cabinetry manufacturers assist you in deciding the style, colors of floor and wall. From step 1 to step 100, they’re there! Think of it like this, for your project you’re the project lead. You decide what things look like, where they go, and pretty much everything directly dealing with you!

There are endless modifications possible for your designs. You can always change things around before they’re actually made to fit your family lifestyle and aesthetic value better.  Just make sure things are in a place where you like them when the process starts to wind down, last minute changes can be frustrating and you want the process to be as easy and nice as you can.

  1. Saves Space!

Who doesn’t need more space in their home? I know I’d love just a little bit more space in some areas. Custom cabinets can help you to save a ton of space in the house, mainly the kitchen you’re installing them in. If they’re designed right, they can fit a ton of things in them, saving you both from visible clutter and just general annoyance while trying to rememeber where something is that you had to move due to lack of space. After doing away with the soffits, monopolize the area and install a tall cabinet. Semi-custom cabinets go as high as 36,” but custom cabinets can be as high as 102”. With semi-custom cabinets, a lot of space is left horizontally, but customized customs maximize every bit of space possible. That’s the key with this whole custom cabinet thing, you’re maximizing your space and using it how YOU want to at the same time. Pretty amazing deal right?

  1. Perfect craftsmanshipHandcrafted Living Space

It takes a certain level of both craftsmanship and artistic style/ability to make a good set of custom cabinets. The craftsmen often plan on where drawers and such will go while even drawing up your cabinets, making sure no detail is left behind. Pieces of wood are cut to size and fit together, ensuring that they can slide right into place. The craftsmen prefer to use merged joints and dowels instead of nails, they give you a more clean overall look and make both assembly and dis-assembly easier.

  1. Environmental friendly

Ever heard, take care of mother nature, and she will take care of you? Custom cabinets are made using wood, a non-poisonous, semi-renewable, and biodegradable material. By working directly with the cabinet manufacturer, you can always ensure that the wood used has no adverse impacts on the environment. Some bulk-cabinet makers will use lower quality materials and things that may even contain dangerous compounds. You don’t want that around your friends and family all the time, or even at all. Materials matter almost as much as craftsmanship, make sure you’re getting the best.

Conclusion

A well-organized space preserves your time, energy, and looks more appealing that the opposite. Custom cabinets assist you in getting and keeping your place organized. There are various storage space options in customized cabinets.  They help in altering the look of the space; modern cabinets can be modified to match the interior of the house also!

Stock VS Pre-fabricated VS Custom-Made Cabinets

All These Cabinets, What’s Best?

Cabinets are prepared in three ways: custom built, semi-custom built and stock. All three are different and understanding the structure of each is crucial in helping you determine which one is ideal for your situation.

Stock Cabinetsopen cabinet

These are built, then cartooned before being warehoused. They are based on industry standards of sizing. These sizing standards start from 9 inches all the way to 48 inches with 3-inch increments from one size to the next.  There are also specifications on the base and height dimensions for vanity, wall and tall cabinets.

Because they aren’t not made following a client’s order, there is a limit on the sizes that you can you can choose. Additionally, stock cabinets don’t provide room for modifications so you are stuck with what you buy irrespective of whether it meets your specific needs.

The advantage of stock cabinets, however, is the fact that you if you need  a solution urgently, they are easily available and cheaper than custom ones. The instillation process should be relatively easy as well.

Semi-Custom Cabinets

semi-custom cabinets Semi-custom cabinets come with a wide range of selection including all options available in stock cabinets. Moreover, they offer the options of modifications for some of the options available. These types of cabinets allow the homeowner a lot of freedom to tailor make their space to achieve desired style and size.

  • Flush to Space
  • Reduced Width
  • Increased Depth
  • Extended Stiles
  • Reduced Depth

There are other types of semi-custom cabinets on the market but these are among the most popular. When purchasing, it is important to buy them from a store or manufacturer who will be able to give you additional information that will help lead you in your purchasing decision.

Custom Cabinets

Custom cabinets are usually made by local cabinetmakers some of whom cabinets other than in kitchen-edgewood cabinetry-clayton ncsell semi-custom and stock cabinets. Custom makers often have shops furnished to produce cabinet boxes, drawers, face frame and doors.

Custom cabinets give a client the freedom to construct and design the exact specifications that they want. There is no standard sizing for custom cabinets as you would find with stock ones. Sizes are produced based on what is needed. This means that the interior of the cabinets can be open and without partitions and this provides greater capacity for storage and flexibility.

There are limitations to custom cabinet making but generally, they offer more options and a wider range of designs to choose from. It is important to note that custom cabinets cost more than the semi-custom and stock. The value you get from custom cabinets, however, is worth every penny and more.
