FAQs about Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Cabinets, and Laundry Room Cabinets

At Cornerstone Kitchen & Bath in Raleigh, North Carolina, we have been proud to be in business since 1983 serving our customers’ custom cabinetry needs. Whether you are looking for a full set of kitchen cabinets or just custom kitchen cabinet door refacing, you can be confident we’ll accomplish the vision you have in mind. Over the years, we have fielded a wide variety of questions related to kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and laundry room cabinets, so we thought we’d share a few of those, along with the answers, so you can have a better idea about our company and the work that we do.

What are the benefits of custom cabinets?

Whether you go with custom cabinets or semi-custom cabinetry, you’ll gain the flexibility to maximize storage space by making every inch functional. Instead of unreachable, dead corners and too much open space, we can create kitchen cabinets in a layout that fits your needs the best. Need a large pantry? No problem. Need a dedicated baking area? No problem. Want a built-in desk area for your child to do homework while you prepare the evening meal? No problem. These are just a few of the advantages you can experience with custom cabinets.

Why would I want custom bathroom vanities?

It might surprise you just how much added space we can create with custom bathroom vanities, not to mention making them easy to organize so you can easily grab exactly what you need when you need it. You could shave off a few extra minutes each morning which means you can hit that snooze bar an additional time. Why not get your morning started off right each day with a bathroom vanity that makes you smile when you see it?

I can’t find anything I like at a showroom! Can you help me?

It isn’t easy to make a decision about kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, or laundry room cabinets. A large showroom can actually make that decision harder and make you feel like nothing available is quite right. If you’ve run into that, we recommend considering custom cabinetry or even just custom kitchen cabinet doors that will give your kitchen a facelift while saving you money. Since we also handle and install ornate features, we can take your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room to an entirely new level. We take the time to go over all your options until you are completely satisfied with your decisions.

Are there different things to think about with bathroom cabinets than those in the kitchen?

Actually, you want the best possible quality for both. You might think that you need a higher quality cabinet in the kitchen because it is used for longer periods of time each day, but the bathroom faces certain challenges, as well. For example, the bathroom can endure more exposure to humidity and condensation than in the kitchen, although both areas do have moisture concerns to keep in mind. Good quality wood cabinets can stand up to the added moisture, whereas cheap press-board cabinets cannot. In addition, personal care products can be harsh on countertops and bathroom vanities. In both cases, you’ll want as much storage space as possible, not to mention easy organization.

What things should I keep in mind during the kitchen design process?

If you are doing a full kitchen renovation, including layout changes, this is the ideal time to consider what works and doesn’t work so well with your current kitchen layout and kitchen cabinetry. For example, if you lack space, consider what it is you need more space for. A large pantry is a great option if you enjoy saving money by stocking up during sales at your grocery store or you have a garden and preserve your harvest. Speaking of preserving, do you have sufficient space to do that? Canners, jars, and other canning equipment requires a place to store them, too. Your kitchen design plan should also consider specialty spaces, such as a desk to keep your laptop if you refer to it for recipes, a barista area if you are a serious coffee lover, or whatever fits how you plan to use your kitchen.

What do you do during kitchen design that will make it easier for me to envision my completed project?

We make certain that every part of your project goes like clockwork. From the initial consultation to the design work with 3D renderings, you’ll find our team is equipped to provide the personalized attention you deserve. We don’t start your project until we are confident you have had the chance to understand all your options and that we completely understand what you want to accomplish. We can show you the difference that our custom cabinetry can make in your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room.
