Custom Cabinetry

When working with clients who want a personalized, unique renovation for their kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, or other room of their home, we often recommend custom cabinets! After all, there’s nothing more personal than cabinets that were designed specifically for you! At the same time, there are some implications when it comes to choosing custom cabinets over prefabricated ones, so it’s a good idea to think carefully about your options. In this article, our design team at Terra Mia in Las Vegas will share some helpful pros, cons and considerations for choosing cabinets for your next renovation project.

Making the most of your space

One of the biggest benefits of custom cabinetry is that it allows you to maximize your space. Your design team will take exact measurements of the wallspace available so your cabinet set fits like a glove. That way, you won’t have to deal with the gaps often left by stock cabinetry.

This makes the custom option especially useful for areas of your home that might be short on space, such as your laundry room, bathrooms, or a small kitchen.

Personalize your cabinets to your family

One of the things that our Terra Mia team loves most about our job is thinking about how we can accommodate each family’s unique lifestyle and needs into the design.

With custom cabinetry, we can help you create a space that is functional and convenient for you!

Take the kitchen, for instance. Some families will need cabinetry that can hold multiple dinnerware sets because they love to host large gatherings. Others would prefer cabinets that are designed to keep their many large kitchen appliances off of the counters.

The bedroom is another place where custom cabinets can really shine. In this room, you may be looking for cabinets that help keep your wardrobe out of sight and organized, especially if you don’t have a walk-in closet. Or, maybe your teen needs floor-to-ceiling cabinets and shelving that can showcase their videogame collection, sports trophies, books, or other hobbies.

Your family entertainment space is yet another part of the house that can benefit from made-to-order cabinets. Are you, for instance, a board game family that needs a way to organize your many boxes of cherished games? Or, are you instead looking to create the ultimate movie-watching space with cabinets that can house extra blankets and pillows? Either way, custom cabinets can make this part of the house the ultimate entertainment space.

Make life easier

Custom cabinets can also make life easier by considering the needs of everyone in your home. For example, made-to-order cabinets in the mudroom can make the mad morning rush easier by designing special features that make it easier for kids to find their coats and shoes.

Or, if you struggle to reach anything on the highest shelves of your existing stock cabinets, we’ll think about ways to make meal prep safer, such as pull out step-stools and cabinet built-ins that lower the shelves with an easy-to-use lever.

Design

Many of the advantages of custom cabinets that we’ve covered so far are pragmatic: they allow you to make the most of your space and include life-improving design features. But, let’s not forget the aesthetic benefits of made-to-order cabinets!

When you go this route, you’ll have total control over materials, color, and hardware. Whether you want a bold, modern design or the cozy cottage of your dreams, you’ll be able to achieve your design goals with thoughtfully designed cabinets.

Cost considerations

While there are many reasons why we recommend custom cabinets to our clients, we understand that they’re not in everyone’s renovation budget. Made-to-order cabinets, after all, are more expensive than stock cabinets.

That being said, our team here at Terra Mia are problem solvers! We can help you weigh your options and even put together a blend of prefabricated and custom pieces so that you can enjoy a personalized design without going over budget.

Here in Las Vegas, we have no shortage of natural light! But when it comes to lighting ideas at home or in the office, it’s useful to consider the psychological impact of our lighting options. Our design team at Terra Mia can help you align your lighting with your lifestyle or business goals so that every light switched on is an opportunity for productivity, connection, relaxation, and more.

Waiting for your order

Another consideration for custom cabinetry is time. Going this route may extend your renovation timeline slightly because these cabinets require more careful planning. They then will need to be made-to-order, which typically takes longer than ordering something pre-made.

The benefits of hiring a design team for custom cabinets

If you’re considering ordering custom cabinets for your next renovation, calling in a design team can make the process so much easier. Here’s why:

  • We’re meticulous about the details. If the process of planning out the dimensions of your ideal cabinetry set seems overwhelming, you can leave the math up to us! We’ve got plenty of experience creating customized blueprints for cabinets that will fit seamlessly into your renovation plans.
  • We take into consideration your family’s needs. We love making design suggestions that are catered to a client’s specific needs, especially when it comes to hacks and features that they didn’t think possible! Whether it’s an organization hack for on-the-go families or safety features for homes with small children, we have many creative solutions that you might not have even known you wanted!
  • We can make recommendations for materials. There are so many different kinds of materials, finishes, and colors to consider! Our Terra Mia design team can help you narrow down your choices according to your aesthetic vision.
  • We have the industry experience to get your cabinets as soon as possible. As we mentioned, custom cabinetry is made-to-order, but our connections in the industry mean that we can get the ball rolling quickly.
  • Less stress for you. Overall, our job here at Terra Mia is to make your renovation projects come to life with as little stress or hassle as possible! Whether you’re interested in upgrading your kitchen cabinets, installing a customized entertainment center, or making your guest bathroom less cluttered, custom cabinets are the way to go! And, while we may be based in Las Vegas, we’re happy to come to your home in Henderson, Erie, and elsewhere to bring you the custom cabinets you’ve been dreaming of!
