Your cabinets are more than just storage. They’re a defining element of your kitchen’s character.

Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen to better fit your lifestyle or designing your dream culinary space, the style of cabinetry you choose sets the tone for the entire remodel. With so many options to choose from, from classic shaker to fully custom millwork, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start.

At William’s Handcrafted, we are here for our clients every step of the way, including providing guidance on the perfect cabinet style. We get to know our clients on a personal level, which enables us to find a design that reflects their taste, complements their home, and stands the test of time.

Function Comes First

One of the first questions we ask our clients is, “How do you live in your kitchen?

Cabinet style isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s your lifestyle, cooking habits, and your personal storage needs that should shape the layout and functionality behind the doors. That’s where custom cabinetry truly shines. At William’s Handcrafted, we tailor each design to the way you live, with interior solutions built for real life.

This is evident in one of our most recent projects, where we designed a custom cookie sheet organizer and mixing station with white oak cabinets for a family that loves to entertain and is constantly baking in their kitchen. The result? A space that is functional, beautiful, and a true reflection of their lifestyle.

Know Your Style (Or Let Us Help You Discover It)

If you’re drawn to clean lines and subtle detail, you might love inset shaker cabinets. If you’d prefer a sleeker, more contemporary look, then maybe flat panel slab fronts with one of William’s Handcrafted’s custom finishes are more ideal. Prefer something that no one else has? No problem. Our team can design a custom cabinet profile unique to your home.

Our owner and our in-house designer guide clients through material samples, renderings, and inspiration boards to make style decisions feel informed and exciting. Your kitchen should perfectly capture your style, and we’re here to help bring that vision to life.

Keep Timelessness in Mind

We love good design that lasts. While we stay current with trends, we advise against choices that may feel dated in just a few years (unless you absolutely love them!). Our goal is to build a kitchen where your family creates memories and becomes a legacy you can pass down for generations. While we can tailor finishes, hardware, and even paint colors to nod to current tastes, we take a lot of pride in ensuring your kitchen remodel has an elegant and timeless feel.
