Refurbishing Your Stock Cabinets

Living Room Furniture StorageStock cabinets are generally regular looking cabinets that do not have anything extraordinary or exciting about them. So to make these ordinary cabinet anything but, you have to take care of a number of things. The most important thing you want to improve is the functionality, and that’s all up to your own preferences. Most stock cabinets come in the quintessential wooden material but you can always make the custom cabinetry look different with glass and metal add-ons. You always need to keep your overall home theme/decor in mind as well, you want to stay consistent.

You can even add pull out, sliding doors, and deep inset drawers into the stock cabinets. Different people have different requirements when it comes to cabinets and what they prefer. So don’t settle for the norm, make sure you do what YOU want. The entire process of developing customized cabinets from the stock ones is even easier and cheaper.

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!

Innovative Wine Storage for the Kitchen

Wine bottles can be many things: collectable treasures, sentimental objects, or even just simple refreshments.  But when you incorporate beautiful wine storage into the kitchen, they can also become art.
Built-in wine storage can be stained to fit right in with existing cabinetry, or it can be painted or finished differently to create an accent piece.  Let’s look at some examples of different types of wine storage to see the variety of styles being used.
Some homeowners prefer to have their wine storage high up, such as in this traditional kitchen, which is still convenient for adults, but mostly inaccessible for curious children.  The criss-cross design offers a generous amount of bottle storage, and the bright labels add a punch of color to the room.
In this very contemporary kitchen, the built-in storage is lower to the ground, and purposefully does not match the all-white cabinetry that surrounds it.  It helps break up monotone, and also accentuates other decorative wooden elements in the kitchen.
This country kitchen epitomizes the notion that a wine storage can become decorative art in the right space.  The ornate details and geometric design draw the eye right to the wine rack, which matches perfectly with the rest of the elements in the breakfast nook and makes great use of an otherwise under-utilized corner.
These are just a few examples of how built-in wine storage can elevate your kitchen design, while also providing a practical, organized space for favorite bottles.  Contact us to learn more about designing the perfect wine storage for your home!

Storage Shelves, Cabinets and Closets

Many modern homes come with open spaces, connected living areas, more windows and fewer walls separating rooms.  In addition, what used to be attic space is often being converted into additional rooms.  While the increased living space is a welcome advance, it does have a consequence.  Homeowners are having a harder time than ever finding adequate storage space.

If you have a need to add storage to your home, ask Edgewood Cabinetry how adding storage shelves, walk-in closet cabinetry, and other storage solutions can help.
