# Custom Cabinet Solutions for Westchester County Homes
Westchester County represents some of New York's most prestigious residential communities. From Scarsdale to Bronxville, homeowners expect cabinetry that combines exceptional craftsmanship with intelligent design.
## Why Custom Cabinets?
Custom cabinetry maximizes every inch of available space while reflecting personal style. Unlike stock cabinets with standard dimensions, custom solutions accommodate architectural features, ceiling heights, and specific storage needs.
## Popular Cabinet Styles
### Traditional Elegance
Raised panel doors with decorative moldings suit colonial and traditional architecture. Rich wood stains (cherry, mahogany) create warmth. Glass-front uppers display fine china and glassware.
### Transitional Design
Shaker-style cabinets bridge traditional and contemporary aesthetics. Clean lines with subtle detail work in any setting. Popular finishes: white, gray, navy, and natural wood.
### Modern Minimalism
Slab-front cabinets create sleek contemporary look. Handle-less designs with push-to-open mechanisms. High-gloss or matte finishes in bold colors.
## Material Selection
### Wood Species
- **Maple**: Dense grain accepts paint beautifully
- **Cherry**: Warm tones deepen with age
- **Oak**: Distinctive grain pattern, highly durable
- **Walnut**: Luxury option with rich chocolate tones
### Construction Quality
Full-overlay doors provide modern proportions. Dovetail drawer construction ensures longevity. Soft-close hinges and glides prevent slamming. Plywood box construction outperforms particleboard.
## Organization Features
### Kitchen Storage Solutions
- Pull-out spice racks near cooking area
- Deep drawers for pots and pans
- Vertical dividers for baking sheets
- Corner solutions (lazy susan, magic corner)

### Pantry Design

### Bathroom Cabinetry

## Finish Options
### Painted Cabinets
Factory-applied conversion varnish provides durable finish resistant to chipping. Unlimited color options match any palette. White and gray remain most popular.
### Stained Wood
Natural wood grain creates organic warmth. Clear coat protection preserves beauty. Can be refreshed with new topcoat years later.
### Two-Tone Designs
Contrasting island color creates focal point. Upper and lower cabinets in different finishes add dimension. Popular combinations: white uppers with navy lowers, gray with natural wood.
## Investment Considerations
Custom cabinetry typically costs $500-$1,200 per linear foot installed, depending on materials and features. Investment returns 70-80% at resale while providing daily enjoyment.
