Semi-Custom Cabinets
What Are Semi-Custom Cabinets?
Semi-custom cabinets offer a popular middle ground between the affordability of stock cabinets and the limitless possibilities (and higher cost) of fully custom cabinetry. Essentially, they are pre-manufactured cabinets available in a broader array of sizes, styles, finishes, and features than standard stock options.
The "semi-custom" aspect stems from the ability to modify certain elements better to fit a specific kitchen layout or aesthetic preference. While you can't design them from scratch, you can often adjust dimensions in small increments (e.g., 3-inch increments instead of fixed sizes), choose from a broader selection of door styles, wood species, and stains, and incorporate upgraded features like soft-close drawers, specialized storage solutions, or decorative elements. This flexibility allows for a more tailored look and improved functionality without the premium price tag and extended lead times associated with entirely custom work.
