How to Choose the Right Cabinets During a Whole Home Remodel

Cabinetry plays a major role in how a home looks, functions, and feels. During a whole home remodel, cabinet decisions go far beyond aesthetics. Cabinets influence storage, daily usability, and how spaces connect from room to room. Choosing the right cabinetry requires thoughtful planning and coordination across the entire home.


At Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling & Design, we help homeowners select and install cabinetry that supports both design goals and everyday living. Through our design-build process, cabinetry choices are planned alongside layouts, lighting, and finishes to create a cohesive result. We proudly serve homeowners throughout Summit County, including Hudson, Bath, Akron, Fairlawn, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Richfield, and surrounding areas.

Why Cabinetry Decisions Matter in a Whole Home Remodel

In a whole home remodel, cabinetry is rarely limited to one room. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, and built-in storage solutions all rely on cabinetry to function properly.


When cabinetry is planned in isolation, spaces can feel disconnected. By coordinating cabinet styles, finishes, and storage strategies across the home, the remodel feels intentional rather than pieced together over time.

Start With How Each Space Is Used

The first step in choosing cabinetry is understanding how each space will be used on a daily basis. Kitchens and bathrooms serve different purposes, and cabinetry should reflect those needs.


We work with homeowners to evaluate storage habits, accessibility needs, and workflow. This ensures cabinetry supports real-life use rather than forcing homeowners to adapt to poor storage layouts.

Balancing Custom Cabinetry With Overall Design

Custom cabinetry allows flexibility in layout, sizing, and storage features. During a whole home remodel, this flexibility helps cabinetry align with architectural details and room proportions.


Rather than selecting cabinets room by room, we guide homeowners toward cabinetry solutions that support a consistent design language throughout the home. This creates visual continuity while still allowing each space to function independently.

Storage Upgrades That Improve Daily Life

One of the biggest advantages of thoughtful cabinetry planning is improved storage. During a whole home remodel, storage upgrades can be integrated into kitchens, bathrooms, and transitional spaces.


We focus on storage solutions that reduce clutter and improve organization. Well-designed cabinetry helps homeowners maintain a cleaner, more functional home over time.

Coordinating Cabinet Finishes Across the Home

Finish selection plays a major role in how cabinetry impacts the overall design. During a whole home remodel, finishes should complement each other rather than compete.


By coordinating cabinet finishes across spaces, the home feels more cohesive. This does not mean every cabinet must match, but finishes should relate in a way that feels intentional and balanced.

Cabinetry in Kitchens and Bathrooms

Kitchens and bathrooms place the highest demands on cabinetry. Moisture, daily use, and storage needs all influence cabinet selection.


At Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling & Design, we install cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms with careful attention to durability, function, and integration with surrounding finishes. Planning cabinetry alongside the full remodel ensures these spaces work well together.

Planning Cabinetry Through the Design-Build Process

A major advantage of a design-build approach is the ability to plan cabinetry early. Cabinet layouts, dimensions, and storage features are coordinated with construction details and mechanical considerations.


This level of planning helps avoid last-minute changes and ensures cabinetry fits seamlessly within the finished space.
