Why Custom Cabinetry is Ideal for Small Kitchens

• Unlike stock or prefabricated cabinets, custom cabinetry is designed to fit your kitchen’s exact dimensions, making use of every inch of available space.
• Standard cabinets often leave awkward gaps or fail to utilize corners and vertical areas effectively.
• With Alvan Millwork’s custom designs, we create tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of small kitchens.
• For example, in a recent Vancouver condo project, we designed cabinets to fit a non-standard wall with a sloped ceiling, eliminating wasted space and adding 20% more storage capacity.
• Custom cabinetry also allows you to personalize aesthetics, from minimalist matte finishes to warm wood tones, ensuring your kitchen reflects your taste.
