CABINET CLASS
All you need to start your joinery journey
Joinery or cabinetry, custom or flat pack – there is so much to know about cabinets, isn’t there? And the price of it can vary so much, depending on what you pick, the design, the quantity and the supplier. Plus, there is an abundance of other options to be worked through, from finishes to handles, which can be overwhelming. So, we at BuildHer are here to give you a fast bootcamp-style introduction to cabinetry. If you have, or are about to, embark on a renovation or new build, there is no doubt that this will become your life. And because the cabinetry you decide on for the project may well be used every day, making the right design decisions should matter greatly to you.
The following is a list of what a joiner or cabinet maker can do for you in each room of your house. But really, the sky’s the limit here because a joiner can design and price up almost anything if they have the skills and experience.
