Choosing the right cabinetry is more than just picking out storage units; it’s about enhancing the functionality and elevating the aesthetic of your dream home. Have you ever taken a moment to count the cabinets in your home? Whether it’s in your current home or maybe your rental, you’ve likely noticed one of two scenarios: either an overwhelming abundance of oddly sized, poorly placed cabinets or an overwhelming lack of storage space that leaves you craving more.
Understanding the vast array of cabinetry options is crucial. While it might seem like an added expense at first, integrating custom joinery and cabinetry is genuinely an investment in your home’s functionality and beauty. Custom solutions ensure that everything from the kitchen to the bathroom and beyond not only matches but also enhances the overall feel of your space.
Essential cabinetry units
Standard cabinetry usually includes base units, wall-mounted cabinets, and tall storage options, complete with cohesive panels and kickboards. These fundamentals form the backbone of storage in key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and laundries.

Have you considered specialty units?
Why not make your space uniquely yours with specialty cabinetry and the basics? These units are typically designed to maximise both square footage and organisation. They include corner cabinets, sink/cooktop fronts, suspended units, hutches, bench seats, window seats, study nooks and more.
Built-In Buffets
Take the Albany Attic, for example. This home includes a stunning tall buffet just outside the main kitchen. This provides a beautiful centrepiece to the room that is perfectly fitted with the overall design of the home. It offers ample storage space while also seamlessly fitting into the overall look of the home.
Bench Seats
Let’s consider a Melbourne winter essential—the mudroom bench. Not only does it give you a cosy spot to kick off those rainy-day boots, but it’s also secret storage. Underneath those comfy seats, you’ve got room to stash all your winter wear and boots, keeping your entryway neat and tidy. Add some hooks above for scarves and hats, and you have a perfectly organised entryway for your home.
Window Seats
Enjoy a cosy spot by the window that’s more than just a place to relax. Window seats can come with built-in storage options that offer a practical solution for organising everything from seasonal linens to your favourite books. They are a stylish way to maximise space and keep your essentials neatly tucked away, enhancing both the functionality and charm of the room. They can also be a great way to utilise space that may have otherwise been dead space in a room.
Study Nooks
With more of us working from home or juggling kids’ homework routines, a dedicated study nook is a game-changer. Tucked away into a quiet corner of the house, these nooks can be compact but extremely advantageous. If designed appropriately with shelves and cabinets to keep all your work essentials or school supplies on hand but out of sight. It’s about making your space work smarter, not harder, blending beautifully with your home’s style.
Cabinetry handles: The finishing touch
The design of your custom cabinetry isn’t just about the look; it’s also about its functionality and how it ties into your home. “Soft-closing” or “feather touch” handles allow drawers to close gently, or opt for pull-through handles for easy access from both sides of a kitchen island.
Selecting the right cabinetry involves thoughtful consideration of both style and function. At Premier Traditional Homes, we are committed to guiding you through these choices, ensuring that each cabinetry solution not only meets your needs but also contributes to the overall harmony and beauty of your home.
