While the latter is an example of a cosmetic update, it can generate some wildly remarkable results. For example, if a homeowner has faceless cabinets already installed in the kitchen, they can “get away with” buying only replacement doors and drawer faces. This is because there is no “reveal” made by the presence of cabinet facing. So, someone who is living in a kitchen that doesn’t match their personal aesthetic could create a set of entirely custom kitchen cabinets simply by acquiring a set of replacement doors.

Of course, we also mentioned the use of RTA cabinets too. These are also available in faceless styles (which some manufacturers call European styles), and these can also deliver a very clean look too. They are also beneficial in creating an original kitchen because they can be found in nearly any height, width, and configuration imaginable. From tall single cabinets designed to go from floor to ceiling to hefty base units, any possible layout is possible.

Both options come in a wide range of wood veneers as well, and this is another way to create custom kitchen cabinets without a lot of effort or expense. For instance, someone who loves the striped patterns of Zebrawood or Ebony Macassar could incorporate them into their spaces and install them in original or unique ways. They might use a “mix and match” approach to their new kitchen by purchasing base cupboards that coordinate with a different type of wall cabinets.

Custom kitchens are both fun and easy to achieve, it just takes some extra thought and planning to make it happen.
