Not every cabinetry project starts in the kitchen.
For this project with McFarland Woods, MHD helped bring a salon space to life with cabinetry that needed to do more than simply fit the footprint. It had to support day-to-day use, look polished from every angle, and contribute to the overall design of the room. From the wall-hung vanity stations to the coffee bar cabinetry and floating shelves, the result is a cohesive space that feels clean, custom, and highly functional.
A salon environment needs storage that works hard.
Salons ask a lot from cabinetry. Storage needs to be accessible, surfaces need to look clean and intentional, and the overall finish has to hold its own in a highly visible space. In a room where clients are sitting directly in front of mirrors, details matter. The cabinetry cannot feel like an afterthought.
That is exactly where thoughtful design makes a difference. Instead of relying on bulky built-ins, this project uses wall-hung vanity stations to create a lighter, more open feel. The floating design keeps the room visually cleaner while still giving stylists the storage they need.
The look: warm, modern, and easy to work into the space.
MHD supplied this project in the Skyline style in Noce with the Nova Pro drawer system. The wood-tone finish brings warmth into the room and pairs naturally with the bright counters, light flooring, and black fixtures shown throughout the space. White cabinet interiors keep the inside feeling crisp and bright, while soft-close doors and drawers add another layer of polish to the day-to-day experience.
This project also features a new door style tied to MHD’s Revive cabinet refacing program, showing how a fresh door profile can help shape the look of a room without overcomplicating the design.
Beyond the vanity stations: a coffee bar that feels intentional
The coffee bar cabinetry carries the same visual aesthetic into another part of the space, helping the room feel connected instead of pieced together. MHD also supplied floating shelves and included a slide-out wastebasket with a false-panel top in the coffee bar base cabinetry. That kind of detail may seem small on paper, but it helps the area function better and keeps the finished look cleaner.
Why projects like this matter
This salon build-out is a good reminder that cabinetry plays a major role well beyond kitchens and baths. Specialty spaces such as salons, coffee bars, clubrooms, leasing offices, and other amenity areas all benefit from cabinetry that is both practical and visually consistent with the larger design.
When the finishes are right and the functionality is built in from the start, the cabinetry helps define the experience of the room. That is what makes projects like this stand out.
