Custom Cabinetry
Custom Cabinets & Kitchen Design in Malibu
Made-to-order luxury cabinetry for Malibu homes — from Point Dume and the Colony to the canyons above the coast. SieMatic, Wood-Mode, and marine-aware bespoke millwork.
Designed for Malibu
Cabinetry Built for Beachfront Living
Malibu runs 21 miles along the coast, and its homes are as varied as the shoreline — the gated beachfront of the Malibu Colony and Carbon Beach, the bluff-top estates of Point Dume and Paradise Cove, and the canyon retreats of Serra and Latigo. Salt air, ocean light, and a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle define how these kitchens are used.
Inplace Studio designs custom cabinetry to handle that environment — marine-grade finishes and corrosion-resistant hardware, open layouts that frame the water, butler’s pantries for entertaining, and integrated appliance walls. As an authorized SieMatic dealer, we bring German engineering and Italian craftsmanship to every Malibu project.

Why Inplace Studio
Why Malibu Homeowners Choose Us
We are an authorized dealer for SieMatic, Wood-Mode, Renzo Restelli, and Signature Custom Cabinetry — brands that aren’t sold through big-box retailers or general contractors. Every cabinet is made to order, so there are no fillers, shims, or compromises.
From first concept renderings to white-glove installation, you work with one team and one point of accountability. We coordinate with your architect, designer, and contractor so the cabinetry integrates seamlessly into a Malibu renovation or new build.
Questions
Custom Cabinets in Malibu — FAQ
How much do custom cabinets cost in Malibu?
Pricing depends on scope, supplier, materials, and the complexity of the interiors. A full kitchen of custom cabinetry from a premium partner is a significant investment that reflects material quality and decades of durability. After your consultation you receive a detailed proposal itemizing every component — full transparency, no surprises.
Do I need permits for a kitchen remodel in Malibu?
Usually yes — and Malibu has its own process. The City of Malibu and the California Coastal Commission permit work in the coastal zone, and beachfront and bluff lots often require a Coastal Development Permit in addition to standard building permits. Your contractor manages permitting; we align the cabinetry schedule with it.
How long does custom cabinetry take?
Domestic partners (Wood-Mode, Signature) typically run 8–12 weeks from a finalized order; European makers (SieMatic, Renzo Restelli) 10–16 weeks. We build these lead times into your overall schedule so cabinetry arrives when your space is ready.
Do you install the cabinets, or just supply them?
We provide full-service delivery and professional installation — every cabinet leveled, plumbed, aligned, and adjusted, with trim scribed precisely to your walls. We coordinate with your countertop fabricator and trades for a seamless finish.
