Interior design services in Vaughan and across the GTA.
Cabinetry & Hardware Design Covers Kitchens, Baths, and Storage
Cabinetry and hardware design covers the cabinet boxes, doors, drawers, and hardware finishes in your kitchen, bathroom, or any built-in storage. We design it, cut it on our own CNC, and finish it in our spray booth before installing it ourselves.
If you are thinking about new kitchen cabinets or a bathroom vanity, this is what we do. Cabinetry and hardware design is all about the boxes, doors, drawers, and the finishes that go into storage around your home. That means kitchen islands, wall cabinets, bathroom cabinetry. Even built-ins for a mudroom or laundry room. You need things to fit.
This work is different from custom millwork. Cabinetry is storage-based, so it is about boxes with doors and drawers. Custom millwork covers architectural woodwork that doesn’t hold things, like feature walls or trim details. Some projects will need both, we see this often. Our team plans everything together so all the finishes match.
- Cabinet box construction and layout
- Door and drawer front styles
- Hardware selection, hinges and pulls
- Interior storage like pull-out shelves and drawer organizers
We see a lot of this work in Woodbridge and Maple. Those kitchen and bathroom renovations usually start with a full cabinet replacement. Everything we make gets built to fit your actual space. No standard box sizes here.
Millwork Design Adds Custom Woodwork Beyond Cabinets
Cabinetry handles storage. Custom millwork is something else entirely. Think about a feature wall, or some classic wainscoting. And crown trim. Wall paneling also counts. Media units built into the room are a good example, not just a box that sits there.
We build each piece around your room. Our CNC machine in Vaughan cuts everything exactly to size. It then gets finished in our dust-free spray booth. Nothing leaves our shop until it’s truly done. (We like to get things right the first time.)
We see a lot of this custom millwork in Kleinburg especially. Those bigger homes have the wall height and room depth for a full paneled feature wall or a built-in fireplace. Clients often don’t quite realize what a simple panel detail can do for a space. It makes a real difference.
Timelines change with the scope of work. A trim package moves faster than a full feature wall with integrated lighting. We’ll talk through your actual project first, that gives you a real window. Most jobs run 1 to 3 months, depending on what we’re building.
3D Kitchen Rendering Shows the Design Before Production Starts
You want to know your new kitchen will look good. We get it. You need to see the design before we start cutting any wood. That’s where 3D kitchen rendering comes in.
Once we take measurements and talk through your vision, we build a rendering. It shows the cabinet layout. You’ll see the finishes and hardware all together.
This step happens after our in-home design consultation, not instead of it. The consultation is where we collect all the details about your room (the coffee maker’s spot, how you open that one drawer a hundred times a day). Rendering turns those details into a picture you can react to. Honestly, this part saves everyone a lot of headaches.
It’s a lot simpler to change a wall color or a door style on a screen. Trying to adjust things once the cabinet boxes are built is a big deal, much more expensive. We review the rendering with you before we ever start production. If something feels off, we make the changes then and there.
For custom millwork, rendering is one part of a larger process. It wraps up with production in our Vaughan shop and a full installation. Once you give us the nod on the rendering, we move to CNC cutting and finishing. Lead times usually run one to three months, depending on your project scope.
In-Home Design Consultation Starts the Project at the Client's Space
Where do you even start a project like this? We usually begin at your kitchen table. An in-home design consultation means I come to your space, measure the room, and we talk through what you want from it.
This consultation costs nothing. We walk the space with you, noting ceiling heights, wall lines, window and door spots. Any existing plumbing or electrical matters for the layout, you see. Homes in Kleinburg and Woodbridge often benefit from this step, since room sizes and angles shift even within the same subdivision.
Measurements of the room and fixed points like windows or plumbing
A conversation about how you use the space day to day
Rough direction on cabinetry, custom millwork, or storage that fits the footprint
Next steps toward a 3D rendering, once we have your input
This is the discovery step. It sets up everything that follows, from the rendering to production. But, honestly, it’s the step people tend to rush through. It saves the most headaches later.
Showroom Consultation Lets Clients See Finishes in Person
An in-home design consultation helps us understand your space. The showroom visit, that’s where you get to see what we actually build.
We do these right here at our 1,200 sq ft showroom in Vaughan. It’s sitting right next to our 4,000 sq ft workshop. You can hold cabinet door samples, feel different finish options, and really get a sense of the CNC detail we get (and the smooth finish from our dust-free spray booth). That really helps.
People sometimes skip this visit, honestly. That’s a real mistake. Photos and little paint chips just don’t show you how a finish plays with light. And how a hardware pull feels in your hand, you need to feel that.
Seeing everything next to our shop often makes decisions faster than a bunch of emails back and forth. But it also gives us a chance to talk about timelines. Most custom millwork projects take 1 to 3 months, depending on how big the job is. Seeing our shop helps explain why we plan for that.
Bathroom Design Plans Layout, Fixtures, and Finishes
A bathroom renovation means more than just a new vanity. It’s about where the tub sits. Think about the shower door’s swing, what tile runs up the wall, and how light hits the mirror. We plan the whole room. (It just makes more sense that way.)
This work is different from just vanity design. That’s only the cabinet, countertop, and mirror zone. Bathroom design means we look at the whole space. That vanity area is just one piece of it.
- Layout and how you move through the room
- Fixture placement for the tub, shower, and toilet
- Tile and finish selection that ties the room together
- Lighting placement over the vanity and around the room
- Cabinetry planned to match the layout, not squeezed in after
We build the custom cabinetry and vanity pieces ourselves at our Vaughan shop. The finishes you pick in the showroom are what you’ll see on install day. For a full room project, plan on 1 to 3 months, it depends on the job’s scope. Honestly, layout is the part people rush. It’s also the hardest thing to fix once the tile is set. Book a consultation with William to walk through your space before anything gets ordered.
Vanity Design Focuses on the Cabinet and Countertop Zone
Bathroom design looks at the whole room. Vanity design, though, just covers the spot you use every morning. That’s the cabinet, the countertop, and the mirror above it. If your tile, tub, and overall layout are staying, and you just want that one area rebuilt, this is the service you need.
We build the vanity cabinet to fit your room. It doesn’t go the other way around. This is especially important in some older Woodbridge and Maple bathrooms. Those openings aren’t usually standard widths, you know? Our team builds the cabinet on our CNC, edge bands it, then sprays it in our dust-free booth. It comes out clean. Then we pair it with a countertop and mirror sized just for it.
- Cabinet box sized for your exact opening and plumbing rough-in
- Countertop material and edge profile matched to the cabinet
- Mirror and hardware placement planned together
- Finish options reviewed in our showroom before we start the build
Timelines for vanity projects typically run 1 to 3 months. It depends on the materials and how long the countertop takes to come in. We often hear people think this job is a quick weekend fix, it’s not. But it’s a lot less involved than a full bathroom renovation.
Closet Design Maximizes Storage in Any Room Size
What do you do with a closet that barely fits a coat rack and a vacuum? That’s the question we hear a lot from condo owners. It’s a fair one.
Closet design is our response to that specific problem. It makes a real difference.
It’s different from built-in cabinetry work in one clear way. Cabinetry spans the whole house – kitchen, bath, living room. Closet design stays focused on one space. We squeeze every usable inch out of it (you’d be surprised what we can fit).
We see this often in condo units near Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, where closet footprints run small. Every drawer or shelf has to earn its spot.
- Reach-in closets with stacked shelving and drawer units
- Walk-in closets with hanging zones, shoe storage, and built-in dressers
- Linen closets sized for towels, bedding, and household supplies
- Mudroom and entry closets built for coats, bags, and daily gear
Every unit gets CNC cut, edge banded, and finished in our Vaughan shop. It’s the same process as our other custom millwork. Nothing gets subcontracted out. If your closet feels like wasted space, bring the measurements to a consultation. We’ll show you what fits. We really can make a small space work for you.
Living Room Design Includes Media Walls and Built-Ins
Many living room projects begin with a straightforward question: what to do with the TV wall? This is where good living room design shines. It brings custom millwork and cabinetry design together. We plan it all as one piece, thinking about where the TV sits, how your seating faces, and the storage you need for media boxes or games. Some people just want a clean look.
We build the frame and paneling like architectural woodwork. The storage parts are built like custom cabinetry. All of it forms one connected unit. It’s not two separate projects just bolted together. That’s a real difference from ordering a media wall and a bookshelf on their own. Here, it’s one design, one build, one install.
- TV placement and cable routing worked out before anything is cut
- Open shelving mixed with closed cabinet storage for media gear
- Panel and trim detail that continues across the whole wall
- Finishes matched to the rest of the room, sprayed in our dust-free booth
All our custom millwork is CNC cut and finished in our Vaughan shop. The fit is exact. We keep it all in house. (Nothing gets subcontracted out.) Lead time runs 1 to 3 months, depending on how much of the wall we’re building out. Sometimes it’s a small section, other times it’s the whole thing. If you want to see finish samples in person, book time with William at the showroom before we start any drawings.
Commercial Interior Design Covers Offices, Retail, and More
Commercial interior design involves the layout and custom millwork for places like offices and retail spots. It’s a different kind of conversation than a kitchen or a bathroom, you’re usually working with a general contractor. Timelines are often fixed. Lease agreements matter here. Specs often come before finish samples, honestly.
We handle this work in our Vaughan shop. It’s right alongside our residential projects. We use the same CNC equipment. Everything runs through our dust-free spray booth. Nothing is subcontracted out, so all our shop drawings, material specs, and delivery dates stay under one roof rather than being split across different vendors.
- Space layout planning for offices and retail floors
- Custom millwork for reception desks, feature walls, and built-ins
- Cabinetry for break rooms, storage, and display
- Shop drawings and material specs for contractor coordination
We see a lot of this work coming from the commercial corridors near Highway 7 and Interchange Way. Office and retail spaces turn over. That keeps us busy with new build-outs. Lead time runs one to three months depending on the scope. It pays to bring us in early if you have a fixed opening date. Commercial deadlines are quite firm. Get in touch with William to talk through your project scope.
Other Interior Design Services We Handle
William Millwork handles many other parts of your design project, too. We’re not just about custom millwork and built in cabinetry. A lot goes into making a space work well. This includes things like appliance selection and bedroom design. You also might need help with dining room design, door design, or even hospitality design if it’s a commercial job. We do quite a bit of interior architectural design. (Sometimes it’s just about getting the lines right.) Lighting design is always a big consideration. We can help with office space design] and restaurant design as well. Those require pretty specific layouts, getting the flow right. We even handle window design. Just ask William about any of these when you come in for a showroom consultation. We’ll figure out what fits your project.
