Semi-Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Chicago, Illinois

Two-Tone Kitchen Cabinetry with White Oak Hood Accent

This kitchen in Chicago features semi-custom cabinetry designed and built in collaboration with Hyland Homes. The homeowners wanted a modern kitchen that balanced warmth and contrast while maximizing storage and functionality.

The cabinetry design incorporates two-tone finishes, with crisp white perimeter cabinets paired with a dramatic island and tall cabinetry finished in Benjamin Moore Cheating Heart. A white oak accent hood introduces natural texture and complements the brass hardware used throughout the space.

Full-overlay cabinet construction and double-stacked upper cabinets provide a refined, built-in appearance while increasing storage capacity. The upper cabinets extend to the ceiling, giving the kitchen a more architectural feel and drawing the eye upward.

By combining semi-custom cabinetry with carefully selected finishes, this kitchen achieves a tailored look while maintaining the efficiency and value of semi-custom construction.

Projects like this demonstrate how semi-custom cabinetry can deliver a highly personalized kitchen design while keeping the build process efficient and streamlined.
