You are ready to begin your renovation but you are unsure whether you want to go with custom or semi-custom cabinets. While custom cabinets will provide you with the exact fit you need for your space they are on the upper price point. Semi-custom cabinets tend to be a more budget friendly alternative while still giving you the style and function needed for your space. Many homeowners are discovering the benefits of choosing semi-custom cabinets and are learning that they can still get the look they want while staying within the budget they need. Let’s talk more about what semi-custom cabinets are, the benefits they bring to your project, and some of the options we offer here at Greenbrook Design.

What are semi-custom cabinets?

While they are similar to stock cabinets you can get at a home improvement store there are differences between them including:

  • The ability to alter sizes
  • Different door styles
  • Choose painted or stained
  • Add specialty storage options

Stock cabinets must be purchased as is and have limited color and style ranges. Semi-custom cabinets offer a wider variety to choose from plus the ability to mix and match colors which are a popular trend today. Even though they do not have the full range as custom cabinets, this option comes with all you need to create a project capable of meeting your needs. Don’t forget that hardware, accent pieces, and interior aspects can greatly impact the final design.

The benefits of semi-custom cabinets

More selections are offered including stains, doors styles, colors, and even sizing giving you a larger range of possibilities for your home. They have also expanded beyond kitchen cabinets. Semi-custom is used for bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and even home offices.The ability to implement additional organization and storage solutions grants more control to you enabling you to gain the extra storage needed for your space.
