Custom cabinetry traditionally involved hiring a designer and craftspeople to achieve your dream. These days modern innovations make custom looks much easier. The idea for the Facets line of cabinets sprang from collaboration between Custom Cupboards and famed interior design expert Roger Hazard of “Sell This House” and other programs. Hazard has been implementing the regular line of Custom Cupboards cabinets into many of his interior design projects for months. It was his idea to bring patterns (plaids, stripes) into the kitchen cabinet market but at the time there was no real way to make it happen. The team at Custom Cupboards came up with some sketches and designs and applied a unique technology application that they had been working with and found success.
The Facets line encompasses a variety of options from artwork to photography and typography. “This now opens doors to entirely new kitchen designs,” says Hazard. “I can now use Facets to inject new energy and personality into homes. Facets enables my clients to get the functional storage space they need while still expressing themselves artistically.
Facets is a very custom product that is meant to be used as an accent piece, like an island. There are a multitude of factors that affect the final price of a kitchen, bathroom or whatever room including wood type, finish, accessories. For example in an average 10′ X 10′ L-shaped kitchen that features approximately 13 cabinets and Facets on 3 of them it would add about 10% – 15% to the total list price of the cabinets or approximately $1,500 – $2,200.
