Before you start
shopping for new kitchen cabinets, make sure you have a well-thought-out plan
for your kitchen renovation. Always consider how long do you plan on staying in
the home, what other improvements are standard for similar homes in your area
and the types of kitchen layout you plan on using. Kitchen cabinets are usually expensive but
with the right guidelines, it would benefit you in the long run.
Make a game plan-
Kitchen cabinets are the most practical and convenient work areas in any dwelling.
Before choosing a look, start with an accurate scaled floor plan of the
existing space with door, window and other architectural dimensions noted.
Location of present utilities, such as electricity, water and sewer connections
are also important to document, especially if the remodel involves spatial
reconfiguration.
· Choose quality materials. Kitchen design is not
solely about looks, materials work as the basis of elegance. Solid wood remains
a popular choice for kitchen cabinets, but other materials like metal, thermo
foil, stainless steel, and melamine are readily available. Choosing materials
will depend on the kitchen design and the space your kitchen has. If you have
the old country home kitchen design, wood is a good choice for you; but if you
home has the minimalist feel, then metal works.
· Kitchen cabinet finish. When talking about wood,
wooden cabinets can be left in their natural state since they show soft and
effortless designs. However, there are also services available such as
distressing, glazing, crackle etc. that hide more dust and dirt compared to
dark varnish finishes.
·
Beware of space eaters. Avoid placing a bulky
cube in the middle of the room. It is
best to have islands that have an open, airy look. Ideally, an island should be
unencumbered by appliances, but if you want it to house a dishwasher-sink combo
or a cooktop, try to maintain the light look of a leggy harvest table.
·
Tone down the details. Your kitchen design should
be able to complement each other. If you want your cabinet to be the center of
attraction, then go ahead; let your artistic side play into it. But if you tend
to have that subtle and quiet feel, decrease the accents.
Unless you are an
experienced do-it-yourselfer, it's advisable to enlist the help of a kitchen
design expert, or cabinet designer in order to establish the most effective
plan for your space and determine the cabinet's dimensions and specifications.
