Custom cabinets and standard cabinets each offer distinct advantages and cater to different needs and preferences.
Choosing between custom and standard cabinets depends on factors such as budget, design preferences, timeline, and the specific needs of your space.
Custom cabinets offer unparalleled flexibility and quality, while standard cabinets provide affordability and convenience with much fewer options for customizing to your unique needs.
When deciding on cabinets, here are some things to keep in mind.
Custom Cabinets
As the name suggests, custom cabinets are custom-built to meet your personal and unique specifications. You are able to choose the shape, size, color, finish and function—literally every aspect.
Your S&W cabinet design specialist will guide you through your decisions and provide expert advice. They will know what will look and work best in your home and will help you find the best solutions.
Things to Consider:
- Custom cabinets are built to your exact specifications, allowing you to choose the materials, dimensions, finishes, and features according to your preferences and needs.
- With custom cabinets, you have the freedom to design unique cabinetry that perfectly fits your space and reflects your personal style and taste.
- Custom cabinets are typically crafted with high-quality materials and superior craftsmanship, ensuring durability and longevity.
- Custom cabinets tend to be more expensive standard cabinets due to the personalized nature of the design and construction process.
- Custom cabinets are made to order, just for you, so they often require a longer lead time for production and installation.
Standard Cabinets
Standard cabinets come in pre-made sizes, style, colors, and configurations, offering very little flexibility compared to custom cabinetry.
Things to Consider:
- Standard cabinets are generally more budget-friendly than custom cabinets, making them a popular choice for cost-conscious homeowners.
- Since standard cabinets are readily available, they can be installed more quickly than custom cabinets, reducing overall project timelines.
- While standard cabinets come in a variety of styles and finishes, they don't offer the same level of customization as custom cabinets.
- Standard cabinets may not fully optimize your available space, leading to potential inefficiencies in storage and functionality.
Ultimately, the choice between custom and standard cabinets depends on your budget, preferences, timeline, and the level of customization you desire for your cabinetry project.
