Whole Home Cabinetry Designed to Fit Every Room

Meet Laslo Custom Kitchens

When you partner with Laslo Custom Kitchens for whole home cabinetry, you are never boxed into a single cabinet category. Because we are a true custom shop, we can build fully custom cabinetry, or thoughtfully combine our semi custom and stock lines with custom elements in a way many design firms simply cannot. That flexibility lets you invest where it matters most. We might use stock cabinetry for select wall runs, then design and build a custom island that becomes the showpiece, complete with furniture style details, specialty storage, and the exact proportions your room needs. The result is a kitchen that reads as fully custom, with meaningful savings built into the plan.

We can also customize stock pieces in smart ways that change the entire finished look, such as adding custom crown and light rail molding, building a one of a kind hood surround, creating tailored end panels and extended finished sides, designing a custom pantry wall or beverage center, or adjusting fillers and trim so everything lands cleanly from wall to wall. In other words, you get the design freedom and polished, built in look of custom cabinetry, while using stock pieces strategically to keep the budget working for you. 

Below are four very different spaces from the Laslo Custom Kitchens portfolio. Each one shows how thoughtful design and custom shop craftsmanship can shape kitchens, baths, basements, and living spaces across the home.

A Snapshot into our Whole Home Cabinetry Portfolio

Cabinetry is one of the strongest tools in remodeling because it can change how a room functions and how it feels. In every project, Laslo focuses on three things: fit, flow, and finish. We help homeowners choose the right cabinet line for their goals, then refine the details with custom craftsmanship so the room looks cohesive and performs beautifully.

A Kosher Kitchen in Allentown, PA

This Kosher kitchen is a perfect example of what truly bespoke spaces deliver. Designing for kashrut isn’t just about separating meat and dairy—it’s about creating a kitchen that supports daily routines, spiritual practice, and family rhythm.

What makes this design special isn’t simply that it includes two workstations or multiple dishwashing zones. It’s that every decision, from layout to workflow, reflects how the family moves through the kitchen. Prep happens in dedicated zones that help eliminate cross-contamination. Clean-up flows naturally from workspace to sink to storage. The circulation path is open and intuitive, eliminating congestion during busy cooking days or holidays.

Aesthetically, the space strikes a careful balance: warm enough to feel like home, refined enough to perform like a true culinary workspace. The palette is calm and timeless, allowing the homeowners to experience a sense of order and serenity even when the kitchen is at full capacity. The result is a space that honors tradition without sacrificing the comforts and expectations of modern living.

This is also where custom shop ability matters. When a kitchen needs very specific function, Laslo can modify cabinetry details and create custom components so the entire plan works as one system. The final space feels calm and timeless, with performance that matches the way the family lives.

A Primary Bath and Closet in Upper Saucon, PA

Moving to Upper Saucon, this primary bath and closet transformation shows how Laslo kitchen and bath remodeling extends beyond kitchens into spaces that support daily routines and well-being.

The bath’s floating walnut vanities instantly change your perception of the room. By lifting cabinetry off the floor, the entire space breathes—light moves freely, flooring is more visible, and the room feels larger than its square footage. The clean lines, warm wood, and uncluttered surfaces work together to create a spa-like environment where getting ready becomes a peaceful ritual rather than a rushed task.

What makes this design exceptional is its restraint. There is no unnecessary decoration. Every element contributes to a sense of calm: vertical wood grain that subtly draws the eye upward, simple hardware that warms without shouting, and a layout that gives each user a clear, comfortable place to begin and end their day.

The connected walk-in closet is compact, but Laslo turned that into an advantage. Instead of overfilling the room, the team designed storage that behaves thoughtfully:

  • Adjustable shelving that adapts as needs change.
  • Pull-out trays that bring items forward instead of forcing users to reach.
  • Lighting that illuminates contents without creating shadows.

The result feels like a boutique—not because it’s large, but because it’s curated, intentional, and easy to live with.

A Basement Bar in Bath, PA

This basement bar demonstrates how Laslo approaches whole home remodeling with the same level of thoughtfulness found in their kitchens. Rather than treating the basement as an afterthought, Laslo designed a space rooted in atmosphere and experience that invites people to gather.

What makes this basement special is its emotional tone. The darker palette, streamlined cabinetry, and monolithic island work together to create a mood that feels intimate yet sophisticated. It’s a room where conversations linger a little longer and guests naturally want to stay.

The layout reinforces the social purpose of the space. The island isn’t just a counter—it’s a gathering anchor. Seating positions face inward, encouraging interaction. The floating shelves add visual warmth and shift the balance away from the cabinetry’s bold color, creating harmony between strength and softness.

Two televisions facing different zones demonstrate how Laslo thinks through real-world use. Whether you’re mixing drinks, chatting at the island, or relaxing on the sofa, the room works for everyone without competing for attention. Storage is another quiet triumph. Wine cubbies, glass displays, and concealed cabinetry keep everything accessible but not exposed, letting the room stay clean and composed even during lively gatherings.

Living Room Cabinetry in Lehigh Valley, PA

This living room project is a masterclass in how Laslo built-in cabinetry can change not only a room’s function, but its architecture.

The homeowners began with a gorgeous space: tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and a stone fireplace. But it felt unfinished, visually disconnected and lacking warmth. Laslo’s solution was not simply to add cabinetry, but to create architecture through cabinetry.

By flanking the fireplace with symmetrical built-ins, Laslo established balance and defined a true focal wall. One side subtly integrates the television so the tech disappears into the design. The other side provides open shelving for meaningful displays, helping the homeowners personalize the room.

The real genius lies in the thoughtful details. The decision to wrap part of the stone chimney with wood battens accomplishes two key things. First, it conceals wiring cleanly. Second, it visually links the stone and cabinetry, making them feel like one cohesive structure rather than separate elements.

Ceiling beams and paneled trim complete the transformation, scaling the height of the room and adding warmth without overwhelming the architecture.

This space now feels grounded, welcoming, and intentional—exactly what a family living room should be.

FAQ

1. What are the benefits of custom cabinetry compared to stock or semi custom?

Custom cabinetry is built to your exact space and preferences, which allows the best fit, function, and more design flexibility than stock or semi-custom options.

Unlike stock cabinets, which come in fixed sizes, custom cabinetry adapts to your home rather than forcing your home to adapt to it. You gain thoughtful storage solutions, higher-quality materials, and design details built specifically for your daily routines.

That said, many homeowners choose a mix. Laslo offers custom, semi custom, and stock cabinet lines, and our custom shop can add panels, trim, and built to fit details so the finished room looks cohesive and intentional.

2. Can a stock or semi custom cabinet line still look like a custom installation?

Yes. With the right design and custom shop finishing details, stock and semi custom cabinets can look built in and room specific.

Laslo can customize the surrounding elements such as extended stiles, furniture bases, end panels, molding packages, and one off pieces that solve awkward dimensions. Those details are often what separates a standard install from a custom look.

3. How much does whole home cabinetry or a remodel typically cost?

Cost depends on the room, the cabinet line you choose, and how much customization the plan requires.

A fully custom package is priced differently than stock or semi custom, but the best budget outcomes come from matching the cabinet line to the goals of the room. Laslo can help you prioritize where custom work matters most and where a curated cabinet line can deliver strong value.

4. How long does a kitchen or whole home remodel take?

Most remodels take several weeks to several months, depending on design scope, material lead times, and construction requirements.

A detailed design phase and clear selections help projects move smoothly. When cabinetry and custom details are planned early, the installation phase is more predictable and the experience is less disruptive.

Timelines vary because no two remodels are alike. A project involving structural changes or highly customized cabinetry will naturally take longer than a simple refresh. The most successful remodels begin with a thorough design process that anticipates challenges and coordinates every detail so installation is efficient and less disruptive to your daily life.

5. What should I ask when choosing a cabinet maker or remodeler?

Ask about product options, customization capabilities, installation standards, and how the team communicates. A reliable partner will answer openly and welcome your questions.

The best cabinet makers are transparent about their craft and confident in their process. Request examples of completed work and clarify who is responsible for measurements, fabrication, and installation. The right partner will make you feel informed and supported from the first meeting through final punch list.

6. Can cabinetry be used beyond the kitchen?

Absolutely. Cabinetry works beautifully in bathrooms, closets, basements, mudrooms, living rooms and more.

Cabinetry is one of the most versatile tools in home design, adding structure, organization, and beauty wherever it’s built. Thoughtful built-ins can anchor a living room, elevate a bathroom, streamline a closet, or turn a basement into an entertainment hub. This is why planning whole home cabinetry makes the entire home feel more intentional and unified.

7. Is custom cabinetry worth the investment long term?

Custom cabinetry often lasts longer and functions better because it is crafted from higher-quality materials and precise construction methods, it holds up beautifully over time. Storage becomes more efficient, maintenance is simpler, and the room functions better overall. Homebuyers also appreciate well-designed cabinetry, making it a feature that improves long-term value.

Though for many homeowners, the best answer is a smart mix. Use custom where it solves a real problem or creates a signature feature, and use a semi custom or stock line where it meets the need efficiently.

8. How do I choose finishes and styles that won’t feel dated in a few years?

Choose clean lines, balanced proportions, and timeless materials, then incorporate trends through smaller accents. Classic foundations keep the room relevant for years to come.

Spaces can age quickly when designed entirely around trends. Instead, anchor the room with neutral palettes, natural textures, and simple profiles that allow flexibility. This approach lets you update décor, lighting, or hardware later without redoing the cabinetry itself. Longevity comes from timeless structure paired with adaptable details.

9. Will a remodel disrupt daily life, and how can I prepare?

Some disruption is unavoidable, but thoughtful planning and proactive communication can minimize stress. A well-organized team will help you understand what to expect.

While you may temporarily lose access to certain rooms, the experience shouldn’t feel chaotic. Setting up temporary stations, organizing essentials, and knowing the timeline all help maintain normalcy. The right remodeler will coordinate trades efficiently, communicate clearly, and respect your home throughout the process.

10. How do I balance beauty and functionality in cabinetry design?

Start with function, then refine the look so it supports the way you use the room. Cabinetry should be planned around your routines—how you cook, store items, or get ready each day—beauty then naturally emerges through good proportions, pleasing colors and thoughtful details.

Great cabinetry feels effortless because storage is placed where you need it, clearances are considered, and materials are chosen for durability. When the plan works well, the finished design naturally feels more beautiful.
