The time to change kitchen and bathroom cabinetry
has arrived. You’re both excited and worried at the same time. You’re excited
for some home improvement, but you’re worried about whether your choices will
be the best for your home.
This mixed feeling is only normal for every
homeowner who undergoes home improvement. Simply because every homeowner wants
the best for his or her home. But don’t worry too much; this should be a fun
time for you. To help you out, here are the different types of woods and their
colors as well as why you should or shouldn’t pick them:
· Ivory/White wood is often laminated. This type
of wood is cheap, yet it offers your cabinetry with a timeless and classic
look. Since it’s white, it also makes the room look more spacious. However,
ivory colored wood can easily show dirt.
· Oak wood is a popular choice, because it’s
cheaper than cherry or maple wood. Oak is durable and features an open-grain
that can be colored yellow, white or red. However, oak wood consists of a lot
of grains. Unless you want that, don’t get it. Also avoid fake laminate wood
trying to achieve an oak finish, this just looks cheap.
· Pine wood is the least expensive, but it offers
a rustic look if that’s what you like. However, since it’s quite cheap, it is
not as durable. Pine wood is soft and can easily dent.
· Maple wood is a choice for people who like
little grains on their wood. It has minor variations. However, Maple wood can
look confusing when on veneer.
· Cherry wood is well-loved because it has a
beautiful grain. However, you’ll have to make sure that you pick the right
color since it comes in a wide array of varieties from yellows to reds. In
addition, Cherry wood is the most expensive of all types of wood.
·
Hickory wood is cheaper than Cherry wood and
it’s durable too. However, Hickory has lots of variations as well. Be sure to
check each one out and find what you like.
· Dark Stained wood is great for cabinetry that
requires a classic look that’s more on the dark side. However, the only risk
you’ll be taking with dark stain is that when it chips, the wood beneath the stain
will be seen. Also, since it’s dark, it easily shows dust and scratches.
Home improvement projects will require you to spend
money, which is why you should only pick the right cabinetry. Home improvement
is always an investment, so don’t hesitate to spend on something worth the
money.
