Cabinetry that serves how you live.

Learn how we work →As one of the few authorized SieMatic dealers in Southern California, we bring authentic German and Italian cabinetry expertise to every project — genuine European craftsmanship, designed in California and installed by our own team.
Every detail is resolved before a single cabinet is fabricated. Full 3D visualization and material sampling ensure what you see is exactly what you receive — from kitchen to closet to whole-home installation.
We curate finishes, hardware, and surfaces from the world's finest suppliers. Every tactile detail — the weight of a drawer, the whisper of a soft-close hinge — is considered in full, for every room we design.
Our installation team manages every trade and timeline across San Diego County, Orange County, and greater Los Angeles — one point of contact, from concept through the final reveal in your home.
A process as refined as the result.

What our clients say.
The design team worked very hard to find us the right vendor and helped build our dream kitchen. Impeccable customer service from start to finish. Installation was very smooth. We highly recommend Inplace Studio.
I had a complete set of kitchen and bathroom cabinets customized at Inplace Studio, and everything turned out perfect. Great attention to detail during installation. The quality is absolutely worth the investment.
Wonderful products and staff. Very personable and eager to please. From the very beginning of our kitchen project to the very end, Inplace Studio was exceptional every step of the way.

Book a ConsultationInplace Studio designs and installs custom cabinetry across every room in the home — kitchens, bathrooms, closets, walk-in wardrobes, home offices, libraries, entertainment centers, and whole-home cabinetry systems. We specialize in European, German, and Italian cabinetry and are an authorized SieMatic dealer in Southern California.
We have two showrooms. Our flagship La Jolla studio at 7739 Fay Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037 serves San Diego County including Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Coronado, and Carmel Valley. Our Laguna Beach SieMatic showroom at 465 Forest Ave, Suite A-B, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 serves Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Newport Coast, and Dana Point. A Los Angeles showroom in Beverly Hills is opening soon. Both by private appointment, Monday–Friday 10am–4pm.
We are an authorized SieMatic dealer, one of the few in Southern California. Our collections include SieMatic SLX (German precision, handleless engineering), Urban SG-6 (contemporary form), Mondial (refined minimalism), and Classic (timeless European proportion). We also source Italian cabinetry and design custom closet and wardrobe systems from the same European manufacturing partners.
Yes — we serve luxury homeowners across all of Southern California. San Diego clients use our La Jolla showroom. Orange County clients in Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Pelican Hill, and Coto de Caza use our Laguna Beach location. Los Angeles clients in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and West Hollywood are served by appointment at either showroom or by video consultation.
We begin with a private showroom consultation where your designer walks you through our European collections and material library. We develop a full 3D design with specifications, tailored to your specific space. Once approved, your cabinetry is fabricated in Europe and shipped to California for our white-glove installation team. We manage every phase — design, procurement, logistics, and installation — as your single point of contact.
Yes. Share your floor plans and inspiration images in advance and we'll arrange a video consultation with one of our designers. Ideal for our Los Angeles clients and those early in planning. Most clients who begin by video choose to visit our La Jolla or Laguna Beach showroom at some point — experiencing European materials and hardware in person is an important part of the custom cabinetry design process.
Your home, designed
with intention.
From your first showroom visit to the moment we hand back your home, our four-phase process makes a complex project feel effortless — in San Diego, Orange County, or Los Angeles.
