When upgrading or renovating a kitchen, installing new cabinets is often a critical component of the to-do list. The design of your cabinets is essential to the kitchen aesthetic, as they directly impact the layout and storage of your kitchen.
If you plan on upgrading your cabinets, you must decide between prefabricated and custom cabinets. Both types of cabinets have their benefits, but custom cabinets offer significantly more long-term value.
Prefabricated Cabinets Vs. Custom Cabinets
Let’s start the comparison with prefabricated cabinets. Prefabricated cabinets are commonly found in most kitchens due to their ease of ordering and affordability. When a cabinet is prefabricated, it means sections of the cabinet are already manufactured, and you only need to assemble the parts.
Prefabricated cabinets are available at many large stores, such as Home Depot, Lowes, or Ikea. They come in various shapes and sizes, but you do not have control over the dimensions, colors, or design.
Alternatively, a custom cabinet is a statement piece, crafted by hand and built to pair with your unique kitchen aesthetic. Custom cabinets are made from much higher-quality material, providing a more premium aesthetic, and increasing the cabinet’s durability and lifespan. When you create a custom cabinet, you can control the colors, shape, sizing, design, materials, and more.
Investing in a custom cabinet is a prudent long-term move that will improve your kitchen experience and increase the value of your home.
