When it comes to redesigning the heart of your home, stock cabinets from a big-box store rarely cut it. Homeowners who want a kitchen that truly reflects their style, maximizes their space, and stands up to decades of daily use turn to custom kitchen design — and in the Greater Cleveland area, that means turning to Somrak Kitchens. Based in Bedford Heights, Ohio, Somrak Kitchens has been creating beautiful, functional kitchens and bathrooms for over 70 years, serving four generations of Northeast Ohio families.

What Makes Custom Kitchen Design Different

There’s a significant difference between a stock kitchen renovation and a fully custom kitchen design. Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes and a limited range of finishes, which means your kitchen gets built around the available dimensions — not the other way around. Semi-custom cabinets offer more flexibility but still leave you working within a manufacturer’s framework.

Custom kitchen cabinetry is designed around your space, your lifestyle, and your vision. Every cabinet is built to fit your exact measurements, so there’s no filler strips or awkward gaps. Drawer inserts, pull-out shelving, hidden waste bins, spice racks, and specialty storage for everything from stand mixers to pots and pans can all be integrated into a seamless design.

At Somrak Kitchens, the process starts with a detailed design consultation. Their team of experienced kitchen designers listens to how you use your kitchen — how many people cook at once, whether you need more prep space or storage, what your style preferences are — and translates that into a complete design plan. Clients receive full 3D renderings of their new kitchen before a single cabinet is ordered, along with detailed floor plans and lighting recommendations.

Cabinet Materials, Door Styles, and Finishes

One of the most exciting parts of a custom kitchen is the sheer range of options. Somrak Kitchens represents some of the most respected national and international cabinet brands, giving clients access to a wide variety of:

• Wood species — maple, cherry, white oak, hickory, painted finishes, and more
• Door styles — from simple Shaker profiles to ornate raised-panel and modern flat-front designs
• Hardware — soft-close hinges, full-extension drawer slides, and hundreds of knob and pull options
• Finishes — stained, painted, glazed, or matte for a look that fits your aesthetic

Whether you’re drawn to a sleek, contemporary kitchen with handleless cabinetry and quartz countertops, or a more traditional space with painted white cabinets and subway tile, a Somrak designer helps you pull it all together into a cohesive, polished result.

Countertops That Complete the Look

Cabinetry and countertops work together to define the feel of any kitchen. Somrak Kitchens offers custom countertop solutions to complement every design:

• Quartz — engineered for durability and low maintenance, available in hundreds of colors and patterns
• Granite — natural stone with unique veining and excellent heat resistance
• Quartzite and marble — for a high-end, natural look that’s particularly striking in luxury kitchens
• Solid surface and laminate — cost-effective options for budget-conscious remodels

The team at Somrak helps clients understand the trade-offs between materials in terms of maintenance, durability, cost, and visual impact — so you make a choice you’ll love for decades.

Beyond the Kitchen: Bathroom and Specialty Design

Somrak Kitchens doesn’t stop at kitchen cabinets. Their full-service design capabilities extend to:

• Custom bathroom vanities and cabinetry — designed to maximize storage and style in any size bathroom
• Laundry room storage solutions — built-in cabinetry for utility spaces
• Wine cellars — custom storage and display systems for serious collectors

For homeowners looking to transform multiple rooms at once, Somrak offers a comprehensive design approach that creates consistency throughout the home.
