We design vanities, storage cabinets, and built-ins to fit exact room dimensions, plumbing locations, and stylistic goals. Expect options for materials, hardware, and internal organization that balance aesthetics with daily function.
We create vanities tailored to either modern minimalism or traditional detail. For modern designs we use flat-panel drawer faces, integrated sinks, and concealed handles. Materials commonly include engineered quartz tops, matte lacquer, and metal legs. For traditional styles we incorporate raised-panel doors, beadboard, and brass or oil-rubbed bronze hardware. Tops often use marble or honed stone.
We size vanities to match user needs, including single- and double-sink widths from 24" to 72", custom depths for small powder rooms, and floating or freestanding configurations. We also integrate plumbing chase cabinets and built-in electrical access for lighting and outlets.
We optimize storage with purpose-built layouts that avoid wasted space. In small bathrooms we recommend shallow base cabinets, 12"–15" deep, recessed medicine cabinets, and toe-kick drawers to add 20–50% more usable volume without enlarging the footprint.
In larger bathrooms we offer full-depth base cabinets, banked drawer systems for linens and toiletries, and dedicated organizer inserts for cosmetics and grooming tools. We include adjustable shelving, soft-close hinges, and pull-out trays to improve access. For continuity with the rest of the home, we match finishes to adjacent kitchen cabinetry or bookshelves when requested.
We design tall linen cabinets to maximize vertical storage while keeping items accessible. Typical tall cabinets range from 72" to 96" high, with a mix of fixed and adjustable shelves and lockable drawers for valuables or medications.
For built-in shelving, we create recessed units around vanities or over toilets, and we can mirror bookcase-style open shelving seen in living spaces for a cohesive look. Materials, trim profiles, and paint or stain match our custom cabinets and kitchen cabinetry to create a unified interior. Options include concealed lighting, glass-fronted display shelves, and integrated laundry hampers.
We use solid hardwoods including maple, oak, walnut, and cherry on visible faces and trim where grain and finish matter most. Solid hardwood provides a durable, repairable surface for vanity fronts and custom cabinet doors. For cabinet boxes and interior shelving, we specify furniture-grade plywood with cross-banded veneers to prevent warping in humid Santa Monica bathrooms.
Where higher moisture exposure exists, we recommend moisture-resistant plywood or marine-grade plywood for bottoms and toe-kicks. We also offer engineered options such as MDF with moisture-resistant resin for painted finishes. MDF gives a smooth paint-ready surface while reducing cost. For full wet areas, we can apply sealants, waterproof backers, and elevated cabinet feet to prevent standing-water damage.
We fit cabinets with premium hardware designed to reduce wear and improve daily use. Soft-close hinges and undermount soft-close drawer slides prevent slam damage and extend cabinet life. We select stainless steel or zinc-alloy hardware with corrosion-resistant finishes for Santa Monica’s coastal conditions.
We offer options for full-extension soft-close slides, push-to-open systems for minimalist vanities, and heavy-duty hinges for tall storage units. Hardware finish choices include brushed nickel, matte black, antique brass, and custom powder-coated finishes matched to plumbing fixtures. We also provide warranty-backed brands and clearly label load ratings and cycle-life where relevant so clients understand performance expectations.
We focus on solutions that fit exact layouts, materials, and daily routines. Custom cabinetry improves storage capacity, function, design cohesion, and long-term value in ways prefab units cannot.
We design cabinets to use every inch of available space, from toe-kick drawers to recessed medicine cabinets. That means tailored depths, adjustable shelving, and corner solutions that turn wasted areas into organized storage.
We specify drawer heights for toiletries, pull-out trays for cleaning supplies, and vertical dividers for linens. Those choices reduce clutter and make items easier to access, which matters in compact Santa Monica bathrooms where square footage is limited.
We create vanities and storage cabinets that match the bathroom’s style and workflow. Clients choose wood species, finishes, hardware, and countertop materials that integrate with tile, lighting, and fixtures.
Function-driven options include integrated electrical outlets, soft-close drawers, built-in organizers, and custom mirror fronts. We adapt cabinet heights and sink styles for families, accessibility needs, or luxury preferences.
We prioritize durable materials including solid hardwood faces, furniture-grade plywood boxes, and quality hardware that withstand humid bathroom environments. Those material choices extend service life and reduce repair or replacement frequency.
Custom cabinets typically cost more upfront but deliver better return through longevity and higher perceived home value in competitive markets like Santa Monica. We document expected lifespans and maintenance to help clients compare lifecycle costs versus prefab alternatives.
Santa Monica Custom Cabinets installs a full range of bathroom cabinetry for commercial spaces like hotels, medical offices, spas, and multi-unit residential buildings, as well as single-family homes, condos, and townhomes. Our work covers custom vanity cabinets, floating wall-mounted units, tall linen towers, medicine cabinets, under-sink enclosures, and built-in storage columns. Every cabinet is built to client specifications using materials selected for durability in high-humidity environments, including moisture-resistant plywood boxes, solid wood face frames, and MDF with waterproof finishes. Whether we are outfitting a single guest bathroom or a full floor of hotel suites, we bring the same level of craftsmanship to every project.
Yes, custom vanity installation is one of our core specialties at Santa Monica Custom Cabinets. We design and install single and double vanities in a wide range of sizes, from compact 24-inch units for tight spaces to expansive 96-inch double-sink configurations for master bathrooms. Clients choose from frameless and face-frame construction, soft-close hinges, dovetail drawer boxes, and a broad selection of wood species including maple, birch, white oak, and walnut. Finish options range from painted shaker-style doors to stained natural wood and high-gloss lacquer. Every vanity we install is built to fit the exact dimensions of your bathroom, not adjusted to fit from a box.
Absolutely. Custom fabrication is specifically what makes Santa Monica Custom Cabinets the right choice for challenging bathroom layouts. We regularly work in bathrooms under 50 square feet, including those with angled ceilings, recessed alcoves, sloped soffits, or plumbing walls that limit standard cabinet placement. Our team takes precise field measurements before any build begins, often using 3D modeling to plan the layout. We build cabinets to the exact depth, height, and width required, including non-standard dimensions like 8-inch deep wall cabinets or corner units with blind pullouts. No space is too awkward for a cabinet solution that fits cleanly and functions well.
Pricing varies based on cabinet size, material selection, construction method, and project scope. As a general range, a single custom vanity installation typically starts around $1,500 and can reach $6,000 or more for larger double-sink units with premium hardwoods and custom hardware. Full bathroom storage systems, including vanity, linen tower, and medicine cabinet, often fall between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on complexity. Commercial projects are quoted separately based on unit count and specification requirements. Santa Monica Custom Cabinets provides detailed written estimates after an in-home or on-site consultation, so clients always know exactly what they are paying for before any work begins. No surprise charges, no vague line items.
The timeline depends on whether cabinets are being built from scratch or installed from a completed order. For a standard single vanity replacement with no structural changes, installation itself typically takes one day. A full custom bathroom cabinet project, including fabrication, finishing, and installation, generally runs three to six weeks from the time the design is approved. Larger commercial projects or multi-bathroom builds are scheduled in phases and can take six to twelve weeks depending on scope. Santa Monica Custom Cabinets gives every client a project timeline in writing before work begins, and our team communicates proactively if anything affects the schedule.
