Cabinetry

Cabinetry is one of the most used parts of a home and one of the easiest places for poor planning to show.

Why we use it

BCG coordinates cabinetry early because appliances, lighting, plumbing, tile, stone, and hardware all depend on it.

Character

Inset, overlay, painted, stained, paneled, and open storage decisions should come from the architecture and the way the owner lives.

What we look for

Shop drawings, hardware quality, finish samples, clearances, appliance specifications, and field verification.

Design considerations

Door style, rail width, reveal, counter edge, hardware scale, and lighting should be studied as one composition.

Installation considerations

Level floors, straight walls, blocking, mechanical rough-ins, and protected finishes make the installation precise.

Common mistakes

Ordering before appliance decisions, ignoring clearances, or separating cabinetry from lighting and stone planning.

Maintenance + aging

Cabinet finishes need appropriate cleaning and hardware adjustment as the house settles into use.
