Want to know more about kitchen cabinetry? Here are the basics you need to know to make the right choice for your home:
Purpose is Important
Determining what kind of kitchen cabinetry you need will largely depend on what you will be using your cabinets for. Spaces that are large enough to provide room for display will give you the option of using cabinet doors made mostly or even entirely of glass. If storage is your priority, go from doors of wood or other materials. (Nothing says you can’t add a few glass panels here and there to meet in the middle!)
Reflection, Independence or Transition
When you’re choosing cabinets and styling your kitchen, you’ll want to decide upfront whether you want your kitchen to reflect the overall look of your home or if you want it to have an independent style of its own. If you’re not sure, there are also options that fall between these two categories. So-called “transitional” cabinets are somewhat neutral in style and can be customized by adding paint, stains, papers or fixtures to make them fit the style you’re looking for.
Customized Cabinetry
If what you’re looking for doesn’t fall neatly into one of the categories or styles mentioned above, then you might benefit from considering custom cabinets. There are many designers who offer custom kitchen cabinets and can create whatever kind of look that you’re searching for. Some great reasons to choose custom cabinets include:
- Your kitchen is oddly shaped.
- Your existing cabinets are difficult to improve upon or remove.
- You want a look that your local stores can’t provide.
- You just want a unique and beautiful cabinet!
So, if you’re looking for something that just can’t be found in the flipbooks at your local home improvement shop, consider custom cabinetry, and get a kitchen that stands out from everyone else’s!
