What does the phrase “custom kitchen” really mean? While you may think that having a custom kitchen designed and installed in your home means high-end (expensive) cabinetry custom-made by a specialty cabinet shop, there are actually many other options that fall into this category.
The biggest misconception about cabinets is that anything that is not “custom” is just sitting there waiting for someone to order them. Due to the range of woods and finishes available, most cabinet manufacturers build the cabinets per the specs of your order – even if you are ordering the “stock” sizes. What makes a cabinet “custom” is the availability of modifications you can order for that particular cabinet.
