What is a cabinet design consultation in Orlando?

A cabinet design consultation is an in-home meeting where a cabinet maker measures your space, reviews your storage needs, and creates a custom layout plan.

  • Designer assesses room dimensions, ceiling height, and existing plumbing or electrical
  • You choose door styles, wood species, finishes, and hardware
  • Receive a scaled drawing with cabinet placement before the build begins

Orlando consultations account for humidity levels and termite-resistant material options common in Central Florida homes.

What Happens During a Cabinet Design Consultation

We come to your Orlando home and measure every wall, corner, and opening. Our designer notes ceiling height, window placement, and where plumbing or electrical lines run. You share what works and what frustrates you about your current storage.

Before we leave, you have a measured plan, material samples, and clear next steps. No build starts until you approve the layout. Florida block wall construction and slab foundations affect how we anchor cabinets. We check for these details during the visit so installation goes smoothly.

Kitchen Layout Rules That Shape Your Cabinet Plan

A good kitchen layout puts your stove, sink, and fridge within easy reach of each other. This is called the work triangle. We use it to guide where base and wall cabinets go.

The 60-30-10 color rule helps balance cabinet finishes with countertops and accents. The 1-3-5 grouping guides how we arrange open shelving or display areas. Open floor plans common in Lake Nona and Windermere homes often shift island placement. We adjust cabinet runs so traffic flows around the kitchen without bottlenecks.

How Orlando Homes Influence Cabinet Material and Style Choices

Central Florida humidity affects which materials hold up over time. We recommend plywood cabinet boxes, solid wood doors, and moisture-resistant finishes for Orlando homes.

MDF without sealed edges can swell in year-round humidity. Older homes in College Park or Winter Park may also have pest pressure that shapes wood selection. Our designer specs materials matched to your home's age and location. You get cabinets customized for the climate, not just the look.

Cabinet Door and Drawer Configurations for Your Space

A 24-inch base cabinet can have one door or two. The right choice depends on how you reach inside and what you store. Our consultation matches door swing, drawer depth, and pull-out options to how you actually use the kitchen.

Deep drawers work well for pots and pans. Shallow drawers keep utensils easy to find. Smaller galley kitchens in Baldwin Park townhomes often benefit from single-door uppers. Fewer doors reduce visual clutter and make tight spaces feel open.

Gap Tolerances and Fit Standards for Quality Cabinets

Quality cabinets have tight, even gaps between doors and drawers. Acceptable gaps range from 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch. Countertop edges should sit flush against the cabinet face with no visible space.

These details signal solid craftsmanship. Seasonal humidity shifts in Florida can cause minor wood movement. Quality builds account for this expansion so doors still close smoothly year after year. During your consultation, we explain how our standards keep your cabinets looking and working right.
