All-oak custom cabinetry with matching storage towers, a three-drawer beverage center, display shelving, and a coordinated kitchen beyond

Design • Specify • Supply • Coordinate

Custom Cabinetry Services

Plan cabinetry as part of the architecture. MDI develops kitchens, bathrooms, closets, built-ins, bars, offices, laundry rooms, garages, and whole-home storage around real dimensions, daily use, and a coherent material direction.

One design language across the home

Cabinetry Services Built Around the Room

A successful cabinetry package begins before door colors and accessories. It starts with architecture, circulation, storage needs, appliance specifications, utilities, sightlines, ceiling conditions, and the way one room transitions into the next.

MDI helps organize those decisions into a coordinated cabinetry direction. Depending on the project, that may involve fully custom work, semi-custom solutions, premium ready-to-assemble cabinetry, or a deliberate combination of cabinet paths.

What MDI Helps Coordinate

  • Field dimensions, openings, ceilings, walls, and utilities
  • Cabinet layouts, elevations, proportions, and clearances
  • Door profiles, finishes, hardware, glass, and lighting
  • Appliances, plumbing fixtures, stone, panels, and trim
  • Interior storage, access, movement, and daily workflow
  • Delivery, documentation, and installation responsibilities

Cabinetry for the rooms that carry daily life

Core Custom Cabinetry Services

Each room has different functional demands. The design approach should respond to those demands rather than forcing one generic cabinet layout across the home.

01

Custom Kitchen Cabinetry

Coordinate work zones, islands, appliances, pantry storage, panels, fillers, lighting, and finish transitions as a complete kitchen composition.

02

Bathroom Cabinetry & Vanities

Plan vanity widths, sink locations, usable drawer storage, plumbing clearances, linen towers, medicine storage, stone, and finished end conditions.

03

Custom Closets & Dressing Rooms

Build storage around wardrobe inventory, hanging lengths, folded goods, shoes, accessories, drawers, hampers, mirrors, lighting, and comfortable circulation.

04

Built-In Wall Units

Create architectural storage for living rooms, libraries, offices, media walls, bars, display areas, window seats, and difficult wall conditions.

05

06

Custom Garage Cabinetry

Organize tools, household overflow, automotive supplies, sports gear, and work surfaces with durable cabinetry designed around actual garage use.

The cabinet path should fit the project

Custom, Semi-Custom & Premium RTA Cabinetry

“Custom” should describe the solution—not become a reason to ignore budget, schedule, available dimensions, or the strengths of a proven cabinet system.

Fully Custom Cabinetry

The highest degree of control for unusual dimensions, specialized finishes, integrated architecture, concealed passages, complex millwork, and one-of-a-kind details.

Semi-Custom Cabinetry

A flexible path when available sizes, modifications, door styles, finishes, accessories, and trim can support the room without unnecessary fabrication.

Premium RTA Cabinetry

A practical option for projects that fit established cabinet sizes and benefit from efficient ordering, transparent specifications, and nationwide availability.

Materials must be described honestly

Construction, Finishes & Functional Hardware

Cabinet construction varies by collection and project. Boxes may use plywood or engineered panels, while doors and visible components may incorporate solid wood, wood veneer, painted material, glass, metal, or other selected finishes. The correct specification depends on use, environment, design intent, and cabinet program.

Premium results also depend on the unglamorous details: hinge and slide performance, door and drawer clearances, finished ends, fillers, scribes, toe kicks, ventilation, lighting access, and alignment across the completed elevation.

Details Reviewed Before Release

  • Cabinet box, door, drawer, and finish specifications
  • Hinges, slides, pull-outs, hampers, and accessories
  • Finished panels, exposed sides, backs, and toe kicks
  • Appliance, plumbing, electrical, and ventilation needs
  • Stone support, overhangs, seams, and edge relationships
  • Open-door and open-drawer operating clearances
