Custom Cabinets in Boca Raton, FL

Custom cabinets in Boca Raton are often a matter of architecture. Addison Mizner was named town planner right after the 1924 incorporation, and his Mediterranean Revival style, with stucco walls, red tile roofs, arches, loggias and exposed rafters, still sets the tone across the city. Mizner even ran his own workshops, Mizner Industries, producing period furniture, antique-style millwork, ironwork and tile. Cabinets in a Boca home look right when they belong to that same vocabulary rather than fight it.

Design details that suit the style

Mizner liked new buildings to look old. He used pecky cypress, with its worm-eaten grain, for paneling and deliberately aged ironwork. Our version for modern kitchens and baths:

• Door styles: raised or recessed panels with arched tops on feature cabinets, or rustic plank doors for a pantry
• Wood and finish: cypress, knotty alder or stained oak with a hand-rubbed or glazed finish; painted cabinets in warm off-whites
• Hardware: forged or oil-rubbed iron pulls and exposed strap hinges on select doors
• Range hoods: a plaster or wood hood surround framed by open shelves or glass uppers
• Corbels and turned legs: on islands, to read as furniture rather than a box

Historic districts and older houses

Old Floresta was designated a city historic district in 1990 and includes a few small Mizner-era houses along with homes listed on the National Register. Interior cabinets are not usually what preservation rules target, but owners of these houses often want new work to respect original plaster, wood floors and window trim. We scribe cabinets to irregular walls rather than shimming them flat and avoid cutting into historic fabric where we can.

Large homes, many rooms

Forbes has ranked Boca's Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club first among the most expensive gated communities in the U.S. Bigger houses mean more than a kitchen: butler's pantries, bar cabinets with wine storage, paneled libraries, dressing rooms and media rooms. We design these as a coordinated set so finishes and proportions carry from room to room.

Climate and the water table

Boca has a tropical rainforest climate with about 57 inches of rain a year and frequent summer thunderstorms. The water table is high enough that basements cannot be built, so every cabinet sits at or near grade. Solid wood moves with humidity, so we use engineered cores under veneer for large panels, finish all six sides of each door and keep sink bases on moisture-resistant boxes.

Seasonal residents

In 2020, 16.2% of Boca's 48,728 housing units were vacant, a figure that reflects part-year homes. If you are away for the summer, we can schedule measuring and design during your stay and install while you are gone, with a trusted contact to let our crew in. We recommend keeping air conditioning set to control humidity while the house is closed.
