Choosing the Right Kitchen Cabinets

Where to begin?

When designing your dream kitchen there are countless factors to consider. If you want your kitchen to look as attractive as possible while providing the functionality that you need, there is nothing more important than choosing the right kitchen cabinets.

As you probably know there are virtually unlimited kitchen cabinet options to choose from. The choice may be difficult for homeowners that don’t know what they want, or need, from their kitchen cabinets. Fortunately, with just a bit of information, you should be able to pick the perfect kitchen cabinets for your home. Here are some tips for choosing the right kitchen cabinets to meet your precise needs.

Choosing Your Style

Your cabinets will have a direct impact on the style of your kitchen. Choose the wrong cabinets, and it will be nearly impossible to achieve your style goals. This will reduce the enjoyment of your kitchen, making choosing of the style that important. 

When you are choosing your cabinets, think about the aesthetic you are shooting for in your kitchen. If you want a rich, warm feel, you might pick cabinets made from cherry wood. On the other hand, if your tastes are a little more exotic, you could choose bamboo or mahogany cabinets.

Think About Functionality

Although style is the most important factor when choosing your kitchen cabinets, it is also crucial that you give thought to how your cabinets will function. If your cabinets don’t function to your liking, you may once again lack the joy you should feel with a new kitchen. 

First, think about your specific storage needs. Frame-less cabinets, for example, offer much more storage space than traditional framed options. Second, you should think about whether you want extra features for your cabinets such as soft-closing or hands-free opening. While these features can increase your costs, they are often worth the investment.

Don’t Forget the Hardware

After you have chosen the perfect style and additional features for your cabinets you need to spend some time selecting hardware. While picking your hardware may seem like a minor decision, this choice can actually have a big effect on the final look of your kitchen cabinets. Like in this Transitional Kitchen the Matte Black Hardware adds just enough contrast to the soft grey Bishop Style cabinets.  

Cabinet hardware can range in style and material. With some options that are subtle and affordable and others that are ornate and expensive. Try to find hardware that will complement the style of your cabinets and match the overall feel of your kitchen.
