Custom Kitchen Cabinets: Features And Benefits

Many homeowners first think of the kitchen when they envision custom cabinets, so let's start there. Stylish cupboards and drawers that complement the home's interior design and fit the space to a T are the starting point for most of our clients - but there's also a tremendous amount more to explore! When it comes to visionary custom features that can revolutionize the way you use and enjoy your kitchen space, choosing the right cabinet door styles and hardware is just the beginning.

Here are some of the custom features Winnipeg homeowners like you are incorporating into their state-of-the-art kitchen designs:

• Hidden Storage Solutions - Enhance the reachability of tough-to-access spaces with Lazy Susans and pull-out shelves or baskets. Keep unsightly trash and recycling bins conveniently tucked away in hidden cabinets. Want to maintain large appliances within arm's reach without cluttering up your countertops? Consider an appliance garage with roll-down or lift doors to keep them hidden when not in use.

  
  

• Efficient Organization Systems - Optimize cupboard, shelf, and drawer space with built-in organization systems designed to enhance the efficiency and layout of your kitchen. Consider the following:

  • Built-in spice racks

  • Built-in wine racks

  • Built-in dividers for utensils, plates, and more

  • Vertical storage slots for cutting boards and baking sheets

    
    

• Luxury Integrations - Elevate the ambience of your food preparation area with luxury integrations that set it apart. Soft-close hinges and drawers reduce noise and wear and tear on your custom cabinetry, while integrated LED lights add versatility to your lighting scheme by conveniently illuminating darker areas.

Bathroom Vanity Cabinets: Design Tips And Trends

Moving on to the bathroom, let's think outside the box. Standard bathroom designs often include medicine cabinets and under-the-sink vanity cupboards or drawers. While it’s great to incorporate these elements into your Winnipeg bathroom, it's also worth considering what other features could be tailored to your space.

Whether you're hoping to maximize storage and function in a small, oddly-shaped toilet room or pull out all the stops to create a spa-like ensuite fit for royalty, our team of experienced cabinetmakers is up to the challenge. Here are some possible elements and features to consider in your custom bathroom design:

• Custom Cabinet and Shelving Solutions - There's no right or wrong when it comes to your bathroom design - so dream away. Rather than feeling frustrated by non-standard spaces, consider custom solutions such as floating cupboards and shelves, over-the-toilet cabinets, or corner cabinets.

  
  

• Integrated Towel Storage - Once upon a time, people used to hide their towels away, but today many homeowners prefer to stylishly showcase them rolled in dedicated spaces like built-in cubbies or vertical shelves.

  
  

• Built-In Organizers - Avoid clutter and chaos inside a vast medicine cabinet or under-sink cupboard with built-in organization solutions like pull-out organizers or drawer dividers.

  
  

• Special Features - Sometimes it's the details that really change your day-to-day experience in a space. Why not consider unique bathroom customizations like a built-in laundry hamper, a pull-out step stool for kids, or integrated lighting around your mirrors?

  
  

Living Room Built-Ins And Custom Entertainment Centres

Your living room is the heart of your home. It sets the tone for your entire interior design concept, so take some time to consider your space and imagine how custom cabinetry could distinguish it in new and exciting ways.

Often, our clients are interested in designing a feature wall as the focal point of their living room. While every vision is unique, these types of walls generally incorporate an entertainment centre, built-in shelving, or both. Visually, custom cabinetwork draws the eye and adds depth and beauty to the living room. Functionally, it provides dedicated spaces for electronics, hides unsightly cords, offers increased storage opportunities, and provides shelving to showcase books, photos, or artwork.

Functional wall features to consider in your Winnipeg living room include:

• Floating shelves

• Built-in shelving

• Recessed niches

• Hidden storage

• Hidden doors

• Built-in spaces for TVs, soundbars, and other electronics

  
  

Aesthetic wall features to consider in your Winnipeg living room include:

• Crown moulding

Custom Closet Solutions: Maximizing Storage Space
