5 Tips for a Successful Cabinet Design Project

Drawing from our experience crafting custom cabinets for DFW homes since 1979, here are essential tips for a successful cabinet design project.

Define Your Storage Needs

Start by listing your storage requirements. Our most satisfied clients thoroughly assess their storage needs before design begins. Consider specialized solutions like our salon drawers for bathroom vanities or pull-out organizers for kitchen cabinets. This early planning ensures your cabinets work perfectly for your lifestyle.

Set Clear Budget Parameters

Cabinet costs can vary significantly based on materials and features. At CNS, our modular line offers 30-40% savings compared to full custom, while maintaining quality. Understanding available options within your budget helps guide material and design choices effectively.

Consider Material Selection

Material choice impacts both aesthetics and durability. While painted cabinets remain popular after shows like Fixer Upper, we help clients understand maintenance requirements for different finishes. White oak and other premium woods offer timeless appeal and durability for high-use areas.

Plan for Integration

Custom cabinets should complement your home's architecture. Our recent project in Westlake exemplifies this - we precisely scribed cabinets to walls, creating a seamless built-in appearance. This attention to integration elevates the overall design impact.

Think Long-Term

Quality cabinets are a long-term investment. While laminate options offer initial savings, our wood cabinets can be refinished and updated over time. Consider future needs and choose solutions that will serve you well for years to come.

Successful cabinet projects balance aesthetics, functionality, and budget. Our team is ready to help you navigate these decisions to create storage solutions that enhance your daily life. Visit our showroom to explore options and begin planning your project.
