In a stroke of serendipity, Bond informed a competitor of his intention to open a cabinet showroom, and that owner was actually happy, having planned to retire. From that company, The Cabinet Market picked up the Wellborn brand plus displays and samples for their new showroom.

“We hit the ground running,” Bond said. “It was a brand new company, but it was like we’d been in existence for years.”

When it comes to trends in the cabinet market, Phillips and Bond point to styles, colors, and materials that have been popular among clients.

“Lately, it seems like people are moving away from the white Shaker,” said Phillips. “Customers want Semi-Shaker cabinetry that has more detailed edge profiles on the doors, so it still has the same feel, without being a traditional shaker. We do carry many different door styles that offer the clean lines that are associated with the Shaker style.”

While white is classic and timeless, many clients are shaking up the tradition a bit.

“We are seeing a lot of two-tone kitchens, where the island might be different from the wall cabinets, or the wall cabinets may be white, and the bases are gray or stained,” said Phillips. “Lately, we’ve also been seeing a lot of color, like powder blues, royal blues, mint greens, emerald greens, and some gorgeous grays.  And of course, Wellborn Cabinets does a good job of staying on top of our trends and offering products that go with individuals’ different styles.”

In both sinks and countertops, quartz is king. “As far as sinks go, where it used to be all stainless steel, now we’ve got quartz and fire clay sinks on display.” said Phillips. “And for countertops, quartz is huge right now. Cambria continues to lead the industry in color offerings. White quartz tops with marble veining are our leading sellers right now.”

In addition to their expertise, Bond and Phillips note that The Cabinet Market offers one-on-one, comprehensive sales and design services.

“When people come in, they get the same person walking alongside them through the entire job – beginning with design, throughout the whole process,” said Bond. “They know they’re not just getting handed off to somebody else who might drop the ball or drop the concept they’re trying to achieve.”

Instead of a client driving from shop to shop to select cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and paint, Bond points out that The Cabinet Market offers all these products and services under one roof. The Cabinet Market is truly a one stop shop.

The Cabinet Market is, “Beautiful by Design”.
