Moduline Cabinet Configurator: Garage Cabinet Design Tool

Moduline Cabinet Configurator: Garage Cabinet Design Tool

Cabinets can be complicated. With so many different types to choose from, each having a ton of options and sizes to consider, finding the exact combination that perfectly fits your space, storage needs, and budget all at the same time can be a challenge! However, the Moduline cabinet configurator simplifies the process to make it accessible to everyone interested in updating their garage, shop, or trailer. Using 3D rendering, you can visualize your space while choosing cabinets, colors, and accessories so you can be sure you’re getting exactly what you need.

In this blog we’re going to:

  • Give you an overview of the configurator steps, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
  • Share the best reasons why our cabinet configurator is so intuitive and easy to use.
  • Explain what it means to configure a cabinet layout and what types of things are customizable.
  • Talk about the benefits of having real-time, transparent pricing so you can design to a budget.
  • Let you know how you can start a layout today and finish it later without ever needing to log in.
  • Tell you what you should do when a configurator isn’t right for you or your project.

Garage Cabinet Design

Here’s what to expect when walking through the Moduline Cabinet Configurator:

  • Step 1: Pick your cabinets! Set your countertop height, closet height, and whether you want adjustable toe kicks. Choose your cabinet and frame colors but don’t worry, you can change them at any time!
  • Step 2: Create your room! Choose the number of walls where you want to add cabinets, then enter your room dimensions.
  • Step 3: Build your layout! Add cabinets to your room with a simple drag & drop to start seeing your cabinet layout come to life. Choose from base cabinets, drawer units, wall cabinets, closets, and more! Duplicate, delete, and rearrange your cabinets to make the perfect layout. Selecting a cabinet lets you change options like which side of the door is hinged, add shelves or locking latches, and whether you want the countertop formed up or down at the end of a row.
  • Step 4: Finishing touches! Accessorize your cabinets with locks, cabinet backs, drawer organization, and lighting options. Choose from aluminum or solid stainless steel countertops.
  • Step 5: Next Steps! View a summary of your garage cabinet design and either send it to Moduline to place an order, or save it for later. Either way, you’ll receive a PDF and link to come back and edit your project later.

If you have any questions along the way, have an idea for a more complex layout or just want some advice from an expert, don’t hesitate to give us a call, and let us help you out!

Making Garage Cabinet Design Simple

One of our highest priorities when building our cabinet configurator was to make it simple and easy to use. Here are some of the ways we keep our tool accessible to anyone.

  • We broke up the process into smaller steps to walk you through important decisions.
  • We curated the available cabinet sizes and put the most popular combinations together for you so you don’t need to be an expert cabinet designer to create an expert cabinet layout.
  • We automated the more complex rules we follow as designers to keep you heading down the right path.
  • We focused on making the 3D controls intuitive to keep them from getting between you and your dream cabinet layout.

Customizing Your Aluminum Cabinet Setup

In our over 35 years in business, we’ve learned that no two projects are ever the same. You could choose a pre-configured cabinet setup out of a catalog, but a storage solution tailored to your unique space and needs will always be better. The Moduline Cabinet Configurator lets you customize your cabinet layout with the right types of cabinets with the right accessories to solve your storage problems.

Choose from a selection of standard Moduline cabinets in our most popular cabinet sizes: 

  • Bases
  • Drawer cabinets
  • Closets
  • Wall cabinets
  • “Big Drawer” cabinets
  • Specialty cabinets
  • Open spaces for seating 
  • Rolling toolboxes

Each cabinet is individually customizable, so you can control where to add drawer organization, additional shelves, and how your doors hinge. Some layout-wide cabinet options like under-cabinet LED lightning with light shields, cabinet backs, keyed drawer locks, and countertop material let you equip your cabinets for whatever job you’ve got for them.

The vast majority of cabinet layouts we see are perfectly handled by our configurator, but sometimes you need something truly custom. Moduline specializes in custom cabinet design and has created one-of-a-kind cabinets for organizations like NATO, NASA, SpaceX, and the US military. If you have something special in mind, let the expert cabinet designers at Moduline help you turn it into a reality.

Designing Based on Your Budget

Anyone who has played with online product configurators knows the fun of turning everything up to 11, just because you can. But inevitably all those bells and whistles come with a cost and suddenly you’re recovering from sticker shock. Moduline Cabinet Configurator shows you the price of the layout you’re creating as you create it so you can effectively work within your budget. Each cabinet is individually configurable so you can tailor your layout to your needs with laser precision.  Layout-wide options like LED lighting tell you how much they’ll add to the price of your project so you can make an informed decision about which upgrades to choose. 

Easily Save and Revisit Your Previous Designs

Settling on a cabinet layout can take some time and consideration. You want to make sure you’ll have something that not only meets your current needs but gives you some room to grow. And especially when dealing with new construction, where changes to floor plans can mean completely revamping your storage plans, it’s important that it’s easy to come back to your cabinet layout later and make changes. When you reach the last step of creating your cabinet layout in the Moduline Cabinet Configurator, you’re given the option to send the order directly to Moduline to be processed or to save your project for later. You don’t even need to create an account; we simply email you a PDF summary of your project with a price breakdown, and a link to reopen the layout in our configurator where you can make additional changes without having to start from scratch.

Letting Moduline Handle Your Garage Cabinet Designs

Just as there is no one-size-fits-all cabinet layout, there is also no one-size-fits-all method for creating garage cabinet designs. Moduline Cabinet Configurator is a fantastic tool for letting you design your own cabinet layout in your own time, but it’s not going to be right for every person or for every project. Some layouts are going to be too complex. Some rooms are going to be too irregular. Some problems require a one-of-a-kind solution. And some people are just happier speaking to a real person and letting them do the heavy lifting. In all those cases and more, simply give us a call or send an email so one of our friendly cabinet experts can help you find the perfect cabinet layout. We take the time to understand your project and bring our decades of experience to help avoid common pitfalls.
