CABINETS: More Than Your Kitchen

When you hear the word “cabinetry,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For most of us, it’s the kitchen, the heart of the home, where cabinets are essential for storing pots, pans, and plates. And while kitchen cabinets are undoubtedly a crucial part of our work, at Decker Design, we know that their true potential extends far beyond one room.

A well-designed home is one that maximizes every square foot, and custom cabinetry is the ultimate tool for achieving that. Think of cabinets as the foundation of an organized and stylish living space, no matter where they are.

Here are just a few of the places where thoughtful cabinetry can revolutionize your home:

The Hardworking Laundry Room

The laundry room is a workspace, and it deserves to be as functional as it is beautiful. Cluttered countertops and a lack of storage can make this chore feel overwhelming. Custom cabinetry can transform this space entirely by:

• Hiding Clutter: Conceal detergents, cleaning supplies, and other necessities behind sleek, uniform doors.

• Creating a Folding Station: A built-in countertop above front-loading machines provides the perfect surface for sorting and folding.

• Integrating a Drying Rack: Pull-out or wall-mounted drying racks can be discreetly tucked away when not in use.

The Entertainer's Wet Bar

Whether you're hosting a grand party or enjoying a quiet evening in, a dedicated wet bar brings a touch of luxury and convenience. Custom cabinets are essential for a perfect setup. We can design solutions that include:

• Glass-Front Doors: Display your finest glassware and bottles while keeping them dust-free.

• Built-in Wine Racks: Keep your collection organized and easily accessible.

• Mini-Fridge and Appliance Integration: Seamlessly integrate a mini-fridge, ice maker, or even a dishwasher drawer to keep everything within arm's reach.

The Peaceful Four-Season Room

A four-season room is a haven for relaxation, but it can quickly become a catch-all for outdoor gear, blankets, and games. Custom cabinetry helps maintain that tranquil atmosphere by providing smart storage for all your essentials. Imagine:

• Window Seating with Storage: A built-in bench with lift-up lids provides a cozy spot to relax and a hidden home for pillows and blankets.

• Media Centers: Conceal wires, electronics, and remote controls within a beautifully crafted cabinet to keep the focus on the view.

• Display Shelving: Cabinets with a mix of open and closed storage allow you to showcase decorative items while stowing away less-attractive ones.

The Spa-Like Bathroom

The bathroom, often a small space, can easily become overwhelmed with toiletries and towels. Custom vanity cabinets and built-in storage can turn a chaotic bathroom into a serene retreat. Solutions might include tiered pull-out drawers for makeup and hair tools, hidden hampers, or tall linen cabinets that reach the ceiling to maximize vertical space. With the right cabinetry, your bathroom can feel organized, spacious, and truly relaxing.

Beyond the Obvious: Mudrooms, Home Offices & More

The applications for custom cabinetry are limitless. From creating a highly organized mudroom with lockers and cubbies for each family member to designing a streamlined home office with file drawers and a hidden printer station, cabinetry is the key to a more functional life.

At Decker Design, we don't just build cabinets, we build solutions. We work with you to understand your lifestyle and design spaces that are not only stunning but also perfectly tailored to your needs.
