Storage That Looks as Good as It Works

DesignLab specializes in fully custom cabinetry and millwork that blends aesthetic impact with practical use. From kitchens and closets to home bars, mudrooms, and entertainment walls, our cabinets are designed, fabricated, and installed in-house with unmatched precision. Whether you’re remodeling a single room or planning custom cabinetry as part of a larger renovation, we tailor each piece to fit your space, style, and goals. We currently prioritize projects in Northern Virginia and select Maryland communities, with a focus on McLean, Arlington, Falls Church, Great Falls, Vienna, Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, greater Loudoun County, and Bethesda.

What Our Clients Say About DesignLab

 

"We couldn't speak any higher about our experience with Joe and Brandon with DesignLab! We built a custom home and they were the perfect match for us to create the custom cabinet designs and unique stones we were looking for. The design and renderings allowed us to visualize how things would look and gave great suggestions as to what would work well together within our budget.

The finished product was even more beautiful than we expected. Between the kitchen and bathroom cabinets/counters, they brought our vision to life. Brandon assisted in providing follow up service to minor details that needed to be adjusted in a prompt and efficient manner. Highly recommend!"

"Jeff, Mr Lee and their team were a pleasure to work with. They made sure we were involved in all the decisions and they completed the project in a timely manner. Brandon made certain that we saw a wide selection of tiles, countertops, mirrors and cabinets and was very accommodating of our wishes throughout the project."

 

Bob Lanman

What Our Clients Say About DesignLab

"My dream closet. They even designed and constructed push-to-open segregated shoe cubbies all around the top perimeter in order to keep the clean aesthetic of the space I wanted and the shoes dust-free.

I've never felt so happy in a closet before! The once chaotic space isn't very big, but now it's simply stunning, complete with well-thought out design, expert construction, and beautiful finishes. It takes a little longer than some other companies, but it's definitely worth the wait. Shout outs to Oz and Memo for going the extra mile to ensure that everything is pristine and perfect."
