1. FIND THE PERFECT COLORS
Start by considering the colors already in your space. For new builds, it’s essential to plan your color palette to complement other areas of the home. Custom cabinet doors require careful consideration of their environment, so be mindful of factors like:
- Room Design: Will the cabinets complement or clash with existing floors or tile?
- Lighting: How will direct sunlight affect the color over time?
- Practicality: Consider how different colors will hold up in households with kids, pets, or heavy foot traffic.
One Michigan homeowner who tackled their design plan solo experienced major disappointment when the cabinetry didn’t align with the overall aesthetic. Their kitchen ended up feeling flat and lifeless due to poor texture and color balance, resulting in a space that lacked warmth and personality.
Our clients, however, have a different story to tell:
“I had a very positive experience with Swedish Door. From the initial contact to working through several design iterations for my IKEA kitchen, I was well supported.” - Nathalie K

2. CHOOSE FITTING TEXTURES
The right texture and material ensure that your custom cabinet doors are both aesthetically pleasing and durable. Texture plays a key role in both design and functionality, so it’s crucial to avoid low-quality materials. Swedish Door provides high-quality materials that not only enhance visual appeal but also withstand daily wear and tear.
- Common Pitfalls: Homeowners often regret selecting materials that aren’t moisture-resistant, especially in bathrooms. Choosing porous materials can lead to issues like swelling, warping, and discoloration over time.
- Kitchen Concerns: In kitchens, the environment can also be a hazard. Cabinet doors can be damaged by heat sources like ovens and microwaves.
