Windsor is a village north of Madison that became its own village only in 2015. Madison Elite Cabinets helps Windsor homeowners plan cabinets for rooms that need to work hard. This page lays out what we consider on a Windsor project.

About Windsor

  • Windsor is a village in Dane County. The 2020 census counted 8,754 residents.
  • Voters approved incorporation as a village on November 3, 2015. Before that, it was a town.
  • The first settler, William Lawrence, arrived in 1841. Morrisonville, Lake Windsor and Token Creek are communities within the village.
  • The census listed 3,345 housing units. About 38 percent of households included children under 18.
  • The DeForest Area School District serves the village.

A young village with busy households

When 38 percent of households have kids at home, cabinets take a beating. Smudged doors, loaded drawers and kids climbing for snacks are daily events. Choose finishes that wipe clean and hardware that does not loosen. Soft-close hinges and strong slides last longer.

Kid-friendly kitchen planning

Put a low drawer for cups and plates at child height. Keep chemicals up high. Add a pantry with shelves at different heights. Our pantry cabinets page shows layouts that help.

Homework and hobby spots

A desk nook with cabinets above and drawers below gives kids a place to study. Our home office cabinets also work for homework stations.

Spread-out lots and big garages

With nearly 28 square miles in the village, Windsor has room for larger lots, garages and outbuildings. Garage cabinets along a wall turn a messy corner into a workshop. A utility cabinet in a heated space holds paint and cleaners. Read how to plan a garage cabinet layout. If you want to know how to handle winter salt, see road salt and garage storage.

Mudrooms for muddy seasons

Spring thaw and fall rain bring mud into the house. A mudroom cabinet area with a bench, hooks and a boot tray holds it at the door.

Laundry and bathrooms

For households with kids, laundry never ends. A laundry room with tall cabinets, a hanging bar and a folding counter keeps it under control. In the bath, vanities with deep drawers give each person a spot.

Staying within budget

Cost matters. We can build a plan in phases, so you do the kitchen first and add the mudroom later. Our cost guide for Madison-area cabinets explains what drives price.

Cabinets by weather

Winter here is cold and snowy, and summer is humid. Choose finishes that can handle dry indoor air and damp, warm days. Wood parts move with those changes, so quality joinery matters.

A kitchen with zones

Think of the kitchen as five zones: food storage, prep, cooking, cleanup and serving. Give each zone its own cabinet types. Prep needs deep drawers and counter space. Cooking needs pots and spices close to the stove. Cleanup needs the trash pull-out and the dish rack. Serving needs a spot near the table. When each zone has its own storage, two people can work at once without a traffic jam.

Plan for kids who grow

Toddlers need locks and low drawers. Teens need snacks, space for friends and room for gear. A flexible plan has adjustable shelves and drawer dividers that you can move. That way the kitchen keeps working as the family changes, without a remodel every few years.

Craft and hobby storage

Family homes collect projects. A cabinet with shallow drawers holds paper, markers and tape. Tall doors hide a sewing machine or a board game stack. Put a counter with an outlet nearby, so a project can stay out for a day and then be tucked away.

Easy care for busy people

Pick finishes that wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid very glossy surfaces if fingerprints bother you. Check the hinges once a year, and tighten any that have loosened. A few minutes of care helps cabinets last decades.
