How To Choose Kitchen Cabinets

Choosing kitchen cabinets can be a difficult task as if you get it wrong, it will make the whole space look awful. It is why you need to take your time and carefully research all the different options available to you. You will need to look at different materials, colors, and styles before you make your final decision. It is also important to keep a tab on the current trends as you do not want to build something and it instantly becomes outdated. That is why I have written this article to help you choose the best cabinets for your kitchen.

Prefabricated or Custom Kitchen Cabinets

The first decision you are going to have to make is if you buy prefabricated or custom kitchen cabinets. A lot will depend on the size of your budget as having custom designs for things like a pantry cabinet is a lot more expensive when compared with prefabricated.

One thing to take into consideration when choosing is the shape of your kitchen. If it is a complex design you will need to get custom-made kitchen cabinets to fit the space. The best option is to hire a professional designer and work alongside them to create your perfect kitchen.

If you do need custom cabinets but are on a budget, the best option is semi-custom cabinets. These are more expensive than prefabricated cabinets but can be customized.

How Much Kitchen Cabinet Storage You Need

If you are a person that lives alone, you should never encounter a shortage of kitchen cabinet space. For big families, however, it can be extremely challenging which is why when designing a new kitchen you need to make sure you have ample room to store everything your kitchen needs.

If you need lots of storage spaces consider floor-to-ceiling cabinets as these stores the most. Also, make sure you have lots of draw space and get a worktop that has lots of different storage underneath. You will then have a place where you can store bulky items such as food processors and blenders.

Keeping Your Kitchen Organized

If you have a big family or like to hold lots of dinner parties, you will want a kitchen that is well organized so that you can cope with the demands of cooking for lots of people at once. You will need kitchen cabinets that keep everything well organized along with having lots of storage space.

Should You Buy Kitchen Cabinets or Drawers 

One of the biggest kitchen trends of 2021 is using kitchen drawers instead of cabinets. The reason for this is that it gives a better way to organize things plus looks great. If you are a person that has lots of kitchen gadgets, spices and other utensils, this type of setup is the best. If you are on a budget, however, it is not the best choice as drawers are the more expensive option.

How To Fit All Your Appliances

Having a kitchen full of appliances is not an attractive look and most now choose to use kitchen cabinet doors to hide items such as washers and dishwashers. These types of cabinets require special hinges so they can attach to the appliances and make a big difference to the look and feel of a kitchen.

Choose a Cohesive Color Scheme

One of the most important things you must get right when choosing kitchen cabinets is the color scheme. You must be able to choose a color scheme that blends perfectly to create an amazing space. By adding pop colors to your cabinet doors can change a boring bland kitchen into a warm, vibrant, contemporary space.

Type Of Materials For Kitchen Cabinets

It is not just the colors you have to get correct to create a beautiful kitchen as the materials used play a vital role. For kitchen cabinet doors you can choose from a wide range such as doors with lacquer, solid wood, high gloss, etc. You will also have to choose the handles if you have these and can use anything such as steel and brass.

Final Thoughts

It is a big job changing your kitchen so make sure you take the time to plan the whole process. If you are not creative or do not trust your judgment of style, speak with a professional kitchen designer as they will be able to walk you through the process and help you create your perfect kitchen. Just make sure to make a realistic budget and stay within it or you may end up putting yourself in large debt.
