Custom millwork
You probably have millwork in your home, even if you don’t realize it. Millwork is anything made in a sawmill, including wall panels, molding, stairs, baseboards, cabinets, doors, trim, and more. It defines every corner of your home in terms of style and functionality.
While run-of-the-mill (pun intended) decor can get the job done, custom millwork brings out the best in every room in your home. Custom millwork craftsmen work with you to bring your vision to life using incredible millwork tailored to each room of your home.
Continue reading to learn how custom millwork solutions can benefit your home, as well as how experienced artisans can make all the difference when establishing your new look.
Adding Style to the Room
The first benefit of commissioning custom millwork is adding unique designs to each room that complement the architecture and your vision for the space. Compared to custom millwork, prefabricated woodwork lacks distinctness and quality.
Consider a scenario in which you have renovated your kitchen to create a more modern vibe, but the trim is old, decayed, or stylistically mismatched with your new vision. You might visit a big box store to order trim, only to find options that undo your hard work with generic solutions.
Why go through the trouble of renovation if such an important detail isn’t right? Custom millwork can intervene to offer customized solutions to your exact challenges.
Adding Value to the Home
Resale value is an important consideration during renovations, and custom millwork is no exception, making rooms more inviting and beautiful, which can make buyers more enthusiastic.
When greeted by custom millwork, buyers are more likely to engage with the space and feel like they’re looking at a one-of-a-kind home. Savvy property owners can benefit from this effect by leveraging eye-catching custom styles against the challenges of previously drab or generic rooms.
Increasing Storage Space
Storage space is highly valuable to your home’s functionality, and a custom cabinet, case, or bookshelf can go a long way to helping you maximize it. However, not every home has room for freestanding storage containers.
While off-the-shelf options stop there, custom millwork craftsmen can identify opportunities for expansion and build the pieces necessary to bring them to life. This includes in-built pieces, entertainment centers, and other space-savers.
Expressing a Unique Vision
Most homeowners would rather have a customized home than a cookie-cutter space, but some need it more than others. There are a myriad of scenarios where custom millwork comes in handy. Here are a few:
- If you host dinner parties, you will want to impress your distinguished guests with engaging customized spaces.
- Those working from home can benefit from a custom workspace that will impress clients on video calls.
- You may have specific stylistic tastes that can’t be fulfilled by generic off-the-shelf pieces.
- You may have a slightly different vision than your spouse and hope to combine them into one unique vision using custom pieces.
These are just a few of the endless possibilities for how custom millwork can incorporate your individuality into your home.
Adding Durability
Take those scenarios and reverse them. Imagine not noticing your crown molding has cracked until someone points it out at a party. Imagine a piece of generic furniture falling apart when you try to store something in it.
Custom millwork doesn’t just cost more because it looks amazing; it costs more because it lasts longer. From mahogany beams to a new entertainment center or living room piece, custom millwork doesn’t fade or crack like generic woodwork tends to do.
Many homeowners focus on custom millwork as an expense when instead, it should be considered an investment in the longevity, beauty, and value of their home.
Consulting with Experts
Commissioning custom millwork gives homeowners the opportunity to work one-on-one with experienced craftsmen. This is an underrated aspect of buying custom millwork. As a homeowner, you may not know what to ask for.
In other words, your ability to match generic millwork to your vision is limited by your imagination. Expert millwork artisans can do much more than help you achieve your vision – they can use their expertise to expand and perfect your vision in ways you never considered.
