Choosing the right cabinets for your kitchen is a very important decision. Cabinets are probably one of the biggest investments you will make when building or remodeling your home. Kitchen cabinets play a huge role in the overall appeal of your kitchen, both visually and budget-wise. There are many different options available for the style, material and color of your cabinets. It really can be a little overwhelming. Below, we are going to go over some of the things you’ll want to keep in mind when selecting kitchen cabinets.
Material
Choosing the right material is probably the most important part of choosing kitchen cabinets. Just like finishes, there are many different material options. Many people like solid wood due to its classic look. Others may like a steel cabinet. Steel cabinets are easy to clean and last a long time. Each material will have its pros and cons. You really just need to decide which material works best with your lifestyle and budget. If you have trouble picking the right material, give ASJ a call and we will help you through the process.
Finish
For those of you who choose an all wood material, you may want to look into the different finishes available. Wood cabinets can be left alone to look as natural as possible, but some people like to add some uniqueness to their cabinets. A good finish will add a smooth appearance and will also help protect them from scratches and other damage. There are tons of finishes to choose from. When choosing a material, keep in mind what finish you may use.
Door Style
As if choosing the material and finish wasn’t difficult enough, you will need to choose a door style. There are many different styles to choose from. Just like materials and finishes, door styles are really a personal preference decision. Different door styles are easier to keep clean than others. If you are someone who doesn’t clean often, you will not want to choose a door style that is more difficult to clean. You will also want to keep you budget in mind when choosing a door style. Some of the styles that have a lot of detail may look great, but also might be far more expensive.
