Custom Cabinetry
Custom cabinets require careful planning, quality materials, and proper construction to handle daily use in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and throughout your home. Drakewell Kitchens & Closets combines design expertise with American-made cabinetry, German-engineered systems, and bespoke details that express the individuality of each client.
Our Approach to Designing Cabinetry That Works for The Way You Live
Thoughtful planning makes the difference between cabinet storage that works and storage that frustrates you daily. Our consultation process explores how you use your space so that we can design a custom solution that fits your lifestyle.
We understand the storage needs of every room are different, and we’ll pivot our design and materials based on you and your family’s functional needs. For instance, kitchen cabinets handle heavy daily use, from cooking to cleaning, so they need to be durable. Bathroom storage deals with heavy moisture, so it needs to resist humidity; Bathrooms are also where many people get ready for their day in the morning, so there needs to be plenty of storage for personal items and towels. Laundry rooms are often multi-functional spaces for cleaning clothes, storing cleaning supplies, and housing random items. They can be a catch-all space for shoes, backpacks, and jackets. With how diverse laundry and mudrooms are, they need storage solutions that can keep up!
Expertly Crafted Cabinetry and Millwork
During our planning phase, we consider door styles, wood species, finishes, and internal organization before we present options to you. Our complimentary consultations are a great time to walk through your current challenges, discuss your preferences, and create realistic goals within your budget.
In addition to our custom in-house cabinetry and millwork, Drakewell Kitchens & Closets also partners with bespoke brands like
