Custom cabinetry design by Habitual Homes in Toronto: laundry room elevation with upper cabinets, a folding counter and a wall-mounted sink

Sound familiar?

The cabinets fit the catalogue, not your room

Most cabinet shops design for free, with their standard sizes. So you get filler strips at the ends, shelves too shallow for your books and a unit that looks pushed against the wall. And it’s something you’ll look at every day.

The problem isn’t the cabinet. It’s starting without a design.

Sandra Raven and Johanna Serrano, co-founders of Habitual Homes

Who designs it

We design cabinetry we know how to build

Custom cabinet design is what we do best. Because we also build in Toronto, our drawings are made to be built: exact sizes, materials, hardware and finish, so nobody has to guess. Sandra and Johanna are architects, trained in Venezuela, and have built in three countries.

Your cabinetry plan

Your built-in, answered before anything is made

  • Will it fit? Designed to your exact walls, ceiling and alcoves. No filler strips, no dead space.
  • Will it hold what we own? Planned around what you store: coats, shoes, books, laundry, toys.
  • Will it look like part of the house? Doors, trim and colour chosen to match your home.
  • Can I see it first? 3D views of your built-in in your room.
  • What will it cost? An estimated budget, designed to your number.
  • Can any cabinet shop build it? Drawings with every size, material, hardware and finish, so every quote is for the same piece.
  • Up to 3 rounds of changes.

Laundry room designed and built by Habitual Homes in Toronto: sage upper cabinets, wood shelves and a wall-mounted sink

A small laundry room had to fit a washer, a dryer, a sink and storage, with no space to waste. We designed cabinets above the machines, wood shelves and a wall-mounted sink, so everything has its place.

Had such a great experience with Habitual Homes. The deadline and budget were respected, they kept the house clean and protected the areas they weren’t working in and above all, are real perfectionists. Really recommend them if you have works to do in your house!

Great team of professionals. They delivered exceptional work and you can tell they really care - their approach is centered on making the client happy, not just finishing a “job”.

Sandra, Johanna, and her team truly brought our vision for our living room media wall to life. Going through a whole house renovation, we were looking for something super modern and contemporary but not boring, and these guys really came through. From start to finish, Sandra’s communication has been incredibly prompt and very helpful when questions arose. They were also open to additional modifications to the project or custom requests like an extension of the slats, more lighting elements, and handle-free cabinet doors. Something else that also truly shined about their work was their ability to match a very very similar shade of walnut wood finish from our kitchen cabinets. It turned out better than expected and the aesthetic and continuity they’ve brought to our house is chefs kiss to say the least. Their work is a true statement piece for our house and I’m sure it will be for all their future clients as well. Once you see the work, the pricing makes sense, it’s all worth it when you see the final product. Great job Sandra, Johanna, and team. If I ever need this kind of work done, I’ll know exactly who to call. Easy five stars from me

We had a wonderful experience hiring Habitual Homes for our powder room project. They seamlessly helped our vision come to life, provided renderings ahead of time and worked diligently to complete the job on time. We will definitely be working with them in the future and recommending them to friends!

Sandra and Johanna provides a professional service for home improvements and designs. They have lots of ideas. I got my bedroom and family room popcorn ceiling removed, painted, baseboards and crown moulding added in these two rooms. Johanna spends lots of time protecting your area and cleans the place every day before done for the day. I have never heard of rooms actually mopped after work is done. Johanna literally looks for imperfections on the walls and ceilings using headlamp. She is just amazing. I am attaching the picture of the room they left after painting and removing popcorn from ceiling. Keep up the good work ladies. It was an amazing experience working with you. Every dollar spent was worth it. Looking forward to the next project of living room and fireplace renovation. P.S: I removed the electrical outlet cover for replacement.

I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to Habitual Homes – Sandra and Johanna – for the amazing work they’ve done on my new home. I had a vision, and they brought it to life, executing every detail of the design exactly as I had imagined. They presented me with renderings that showcased the layout and design, allowing me to see how my furniture would look in the space. Despite encountering some challenges, including a car accident, they remained professional and finished the project on schedule, delivering outstanding results. I am truly delighted with how they transformed my new place into my own personal sanctuary. Thank you again, Sandra and Johanna, for your incredible work! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

This was my first time working with Habitual Homes. Sandra and Johanna built a wall unit in my condo, and they made the process very easy. They were responsive and accommodating, and sent the design very quickly when I first contacted them. They understood the concept I had in mind, and brought it to life even better than I had imagined. In the initial consultation, they came over to see the space and brought options so I could choose among various colours, patterns and materials. They also provided great advice based on what they thought would work best for my place. They had great attention to the detail, prepped the place before, and cleaned afterwards. They exceeded my expectations and i’m thrilled with the final results!

Johanna helped us with a few projects around our first house. I must say I really admire her work ethic! She did such a great job and got the projects done within the timeline given! Sandra’s design expertise were really helpful too. Thank you both!

With a plan

  • Storage planned around your things
  • Doors and trim that match your house

Questions

Before you start

How much does custom cabinetry design cost in Toronto?

One piece starts at $1,000 + HST ($800 remote). Bigger project? We look at it first and tell you the price before you pay. See pricing

The cabinet shop designs for free. Why pay for a design?

A free design starts with the shop’s standard sizes and its own price. Ours starts with your room and your things. And the drawings are yours, so you can get quotes from several shops for the same piece.

What kind of cabinetry do you design?

Closets and wardrobes, mudrooms and entries, laundry rooms, bookcases and window seats, home office built-ins and TV walls. For kitchens and vanities, see kitchen design and bathroom design.

Can you match the style of an older home?

Yes. We look at your interior doors, trim and floors, and design the doors, mouldings and colour to match, so the built-in looks like it was always there. If you only need colours, see our Colour Consultation.

A cabinet shop already gave me a design. Can you review it?

Yes. Book a Design Session: Sandra looks at the design and your space, and tells you what to keep and what to change before you sign.

What’s included?

A site visit (or your video, if remote), plans, elevations and 3D views, drawings with every size, material, hardware and finish, and an estimated budget. Up to 3 rounds of changes.

Do you design built-ins outside Toronto?

Yes, remotely. You measure with our guide and send us a video of your space. See remote plans

Know your built-in fits before it’s made.

One plan with your sizes, your storage and your number.
