Designing a Personalized Kitchen with KraftMaid Cabinetry

When it comes to building a space that reflects your personality, lifestyle, and daily needs, your kitchen deserves thoughtful attention. At Freedom Cabinets, we specialize in helping homeowners achieve stunning, functional kitchens using top-tier cabinetry lines like KraftMaid. While we are not the manufacturer, we proudly carry KraftMaid products in our North Royalton and Hudson showrooms and use them in custom kitchen designs tailored to you.


Understanding the KraftMaid Advantage

KraftMaid is one of the most recognized names in kitchen cabinetry, trusted by homeowners for over 50 years. Their success comes from consistently delivering durable, well-crafted cabinetry with design flexibility. As an authorized design partner, Freedom Cabinets offers access to KraftMaid’s extensive product catalog and provides personalized service to ensure your kitchen reflects your unique style and needs.


KraftMaid is known for its:

  • Solid construction that handles daily wear and tear
  • Customizable storage solutions for every lifestyle
  • Wide range of finishes, colors, and door styles

Our team helps translate those options into a cohesive, functional kitchen that complements your home and lifestyle.


Why Personalization Matters in Kitchen Design

No two homes or families are the same. A kitchen should feel like it was built just for you, because it is. At Freedom Cabinets, our designers begin by listening: How do you cook? Who uses the space daily? Are there mobility or storage needs? We use these insights to shape cabinetry decisions that prioritize your routines, values, and style.


This could mean designing extra-deep drawers for large cookware, choosing lighter finishes to brighten a small space, or creating separate zones for food prep, cooking, and storage. KraftMaid’s semi-custom capabilities make it easy to tailor your cabinetry in ways that feel thoughtful and intentional.


Standout Features of KraftMaid Cabinetry

We’ve worked with many cabinet lines, and KraftMaid continues to earn our trust with its consistent quality. Whether you’re remodeling a compact kitchen or building your dream layout from the ground up, KraftMaid offers features homeowners appreciate for both form and function.


Some of the most popular highlights include:

  • Soft-close hinges and glides that add luxury and durability
  • Solid wood doors and dovetail joints for structural strength
  • Custom inserts and accessories to keep kitchens organized
  • A limited lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind

KraftMaid balances beautiful aesthetics with everyday practicality, making it an ideal choice for families seeking long-lasting value.


Your Kitchen Design Journey with Freedom Cabinets

Working with Freedom Cabinets means more than choosing a cabinet door and color. It’s a collaborative process designed to bring your kitchen vision to life with clarity and confidence.


We start with a friendly, no-pressure consultation where we discuss your lifestyle, space, goals, and inspiration. Then, we help you explore the best KraftMaid options for your layout, from door styles and finishes to interior accessories that simplify your daily routines.



We provide:

  • Professional kitchen measurements
  • 3D design renderings so you can visualize your layout
  • Transparent quotes with no hidden surprises
  • Timeline planning that fits your schedule

Throughout the project, we remain available to answer questions and coordinate with your contractor, builder, or installer to ensure everything fits seamlessly.


Smart Design for Every Budget

Personalized kitchen design doesn’t have to mean an inflated price tag. KraftMaid offers various product lines, including the more budget-friendly Elements line, that maintain high quality and modern appeal without exceeding your financial comfort zone.


Our team works with you to understand your must-haves and wish list, then crafts cabinetry options that fit both your vision and budget. Whether you're focused on a few custom touches or investing in a complete kitchen remodel, we’re here to help you get the most out of every dollar.


More Than Cabinets: Full Kitchen Coordination

Cabinetry is just one piece of your kitchen’s design puzzle. That’s why we also help you select:

  • Countertops: Choose from granite, quartz, and other durable materials.
  • Hardware: Find the perfect knobs, pulls, and hinges to match your look.
  • Layout refinements: Ensure smooth movement between cooking, prepping, and cleaning zones.

By handling all these elements in-house, our design team streamlines the process and makes it easier for you to enjoy a cohesive, stylish result.

That’s why we approach every kitchen project with care, creativity, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
