We’re kicking off 2026 with more educational resources for kitchen and bath designers.
The Decor Academy, our hub for professional development trainings, is for any industry professional, not only the 1200+ designers who work with us today, who is looking to keep their design skills sharp, learn new skills for their work, or improve their knowledge of cabinet manufacturing.
What Is the Decor Cabinets Academy?
The Academy brings together product knowledge and professional development so you can do your work with more confidence and accuracy.
The Academy supports professionals at every stage of their career, including:
- Kitchen and bath designers
- Showroom teams
- Owners and managers
- Installers
As a cabinet manufacturer, we needed a central space to organize and share educational resources with our designers. It quickly became clear that professionals across the kitchen and bath industry could benefit as well. Today, many Academy resources are publicly available to support product knowledge and professional development.
Here’s what’s new to the Academy this year!
NEW Dedicated Academy Blog
We’ve been publishing kitchen style and cabinet material articles over on theDecor Cabinets blog for years, however, this new Academy blog will be a great hub for ongoing professional education.
What is the difference? The Decor blog is an accessible resource for homeowners (as well as designers) while the Academy blog will include articles tailored to the needs of kitchen and bath professionals, with topics including:
- Cabinet Products
- Sales & Marketing
- Cabinet Installation
- Designer Tips
- Client Communication
- Leadership & Teams
This is where learning continues between the courses, webinars, and events we offer already, with clear answers you can easily reference in your work.
NEW Courses and Webinars
With the launch of our new blog, we are also continuing the ongoing educational resources our community of designers are familiar with, including Academy Now webinars and Academy Online courses.
New courses and webinars will continue to be added regularly to Academy Online, with a focus on designer training, product knowledge, and professional development. This education is built to support real design work, helping kitchen and bath professionals grow in their craft.
Plus, Decor Cabinets is an approved provider of the National Kitchen and Bath Association Certified Education Units or CEU’s. This way you can easily claim your time as credit hours towards your required education with the NKBA.
Why focus on professional development?
We know work can become busy and clients always come first. Regardless of your workload, scheduling in time for learning is an important part of your job.
