Cabinet Considerations for Your Kitchen
Are you in the middle of designing a new kitchen?
Are you overwhelmed by all the design choices you have to make, from paint colors, to countertops, to kitchen cabinets?
Choosing the right kitchen cabinets can be daunting. There are so many colors, styles, finishes, and materials to choose from! If you’re updating an older kitchen, you may want to go more modern in style. If you want to stay traditional, do you refinish your existing cabinets, or buy completely new ones?
Here’s our top considerations when picking out cabinets:
Let's bring your
dream space to life.
- Decide between custom or prefabricated cabinets: If you’ve got room in your budget, custom is the way to go. At Alpha, we take a blueprint of your space and figure out how to maximize storage and efficiency without compromising on style. You’ll get cabinets shaped perfectly for your space and your needs.
- Think about how you want your kitchen to be organized: Kitchen remodeling can be the perfect solution for an unorganized kitchen! There are so many unique ways to make your cabinets and drawers more tailored to the way you like to store your appliances, utensils, and food.
- Think about the finish: The finish of your cabinet doors can make them pop as an accent or make them fade away into the background. Consider a glossy door for a sleek, modern design, or solid wood for a traditional design.
- Look into undercabinet lighting: LED strips under your wall-mounted cabinets are a great way to add a warm glow to your kitchen. Aside from being stylish, under-cabinet lighting is also practical – you can see better at night or get extra help reading that small recipe card.
- What cabinet door styles do you like? Traditional designs like raised arch cabinet doors are perfect for a wholesome, cottage kitchen style, while modern slab designs are perfect for the more minimalist homeowner.
- Modern vs. traditional vs. transitional: which is best? At the end of the day, cabinets are all about personal style. There truly is no “best” style, but rather the best one for you! Modern cabinets are increasingly popular however, and do tend to offer better ROI in the case you plan on selling your home. If you’d rather stick with traditional, however, just make sure the style of your cabinets marries up with the overall décor of your kitchen.
Remember, the cabinet doors are one of the first things people notice in your kitchen, so they have to make a positive impact!
Styling and décor aside, your kitchen cabinets can also be very important for storage and organization in your kitchen. As such, you need to take a good hard look at your cooking habits to decide what kind of cabinets would best serve you and your family in terms of meal prep.
