What Is Your Preference: Stock, Semi-Custom, Or Custom Cabinets?

A house is not complete without cabinets. It keeps things organized at home. A disorderly house gives the impression of someone not particular with cleaning. It also has a psychological effect to people with the way we think and respond to things.  Some people could not focus well when they see so much clutter around them. Studies show that women with so much clutter at home elicit higher levels of stress hormone cortisol.  Consider this scenario:  You have a writing task and you need to submit it the day after, yet there you are with a helpless look on your face; your eyes wandering about the mess around you. There is so much pressure here, and you end up struggling from the endless cycle of trying to fulfill a task every night in time for your deadline. This will give you stress. Another example would be baking. You have a cake order that needs intricate details and you can’t give your 100% attention to it, because you keep on searching for your baking utensils and ingredients that are not neatly piled in the cabinet. Such clutter is not a healthy lifestyle.

The best way to eliminate the clutter is to store them into a cabinet. Each division in our house is usually provided with a cabinet to keep the things intended for that specific area.

There are three types of production method in cabinet making:

Stock. These cabinets are manufactured ahead of time and ready for shipment. It has a specific size and measurement that start with a width of 9” and a depth of 12” for wall cabinets and 24” for utility cabinets. The name speaks for itself; they are always in stock in home improvement stores. It comes with instructions on how to assemble as well. It is practical, very convenient, and cheap. Hence, a favorite of the home renovators.

Semi- Custom. These cabinets are basically stock cabinets that you can partially customize. Little changes are allowed to fit into your desired style like resizing the drawers. It is not costly nor is it cheap yet you get the best of both methods.

Custom. Custom cabinets are ideally the answer to many homeowners who wish to have their personal touch on the style of the cabinets. It is actually a standard cabinet but you are able to add more details and features to it according to what you want. This involves a lot of work and may be a bit expensive.

So, what is your preference? Think of your budget and your style. Are you the practical person with limited finances and easily satisfied with simple things? If you are, go for the stock. Or you want the best of both worlds?  Or you are the kind of person who is lavish of improving your home furniture and décor?  If you are, then go for the custom cabinets.

Nowadays, people look up to convenience due to the high cost of living. However, competition is stiff amongst friends who wish to have beautiful homes similar to their friends or neighbors. We see magazines with custom cabinets, tables, bed frames, and just about anything we can think of. Somehow, we are lured to these customized items with its lovely designs.

There are limitations on how we beautify our homes but the important thing is we are able to declutter our surroundings with these cabinets whether we choose to go for: stock, semi-custom or custom cabinets.
