How To Choose Kitchen Cabinets

Choosing Kitchen Cabinet Tips

If you want to give your kitchen space a fresh look, one of the best ways to do so is by updating your kitchen cabinets. One of the most impactful ways to breathe new life into your kitchen space is with new cabinets. More often than not, cabinets are one of the first aspects of a kitchen that people observe, and upgrading them can alter the kitchen space entirely.

Keep in mind that you should be sure of your choice; it may be some time before you change or upgrade again. Here are a few tips to help you in your new kitchen cabinet-making decision.

1) Kitchen Cabinet Profile 

Firstly, you may want to consider what profile cabinet door you’d like, as this can set the tone of choices as described below. A cabinet door profile is the door’s overall look, including recessed doors. A recessed door is where the center panel is slightly depressed. For example, there are slab doors and recessed square or rectangle doors. A slab door is entirely flat, whereas a recessed door has little depressed panels in a square or rectangular shape.

2) Style of Kitchen Cabinet 

Like anything in life, and with kitchen cabinet doors, you will find a wide array of styles to choose from. Pinpoint which type best aligns with your needs; remember to keep your entire kitchen space in mind. You’d like your new kitchen cabinets to fit in with the kitchen space holistically, right? Consider making a mood board—photos of styles and brands to narrow down the multitude of options.

3) Wood Types & Finishes 

Next in the new kitchen cabinet decision process, wood type and finish. First, consider a light and dark finish, and will that finish align with your current kitchen’s aesthetic? Then decide what wood type you would like, and will the wood type match your flooring and trim?

4) Cabinet Functionality 

Remember to consider cabinet functionality in addition to color and style when choosing new kitchen cabinets. When updating your cabinets, this is your time to change the layout by adding more drawers or removing cabinets, whatever aligns with your vision. This is also your chance to add shelving to your cabinets or update the depth or lack thereof.
