Choosing kitchen cabinets based on available space, taste, and compatibility with the surroundings is very important; otherwise, your kitchen will look out of place and lose its value. But you will be amazed to know thousands of options are available, starting from floor-to-ceiling cabinets and tons of choices in faucets and countertops. So, do not get overwhelmed; follow this guide to gain the best experience. 

 

  • Cabinet style

When choosing a custom kitchen cabinetry style, there are different types to pick from, from cabinet drawer to door. You can modify the outer frame to give a visually pleasing appearance. Try out either simple angles or complete details. The panel can be raised or flat; when customization is done, you will get a specific style. 

 

  • Cabinet material

You can use natural wood for the cabinet door or engineered materials like plywood. Different door styles and various materials are available from manufacturers, but in most cases, the material of the door is entirely separate from the style. Every material has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you have to get all the information, understand what appearance they provide, and then choose the one that would suit your kitchen surroundings. 

 

  • Cabinet finish

You can either go for a painted or stained kitchen cabinet, where a painted finish provides you with a solid color that can be applied to the material to give you the final stunning look, whereas a stained finish is done over wood so that the grains of the wood can become visible. Other finishes, such as glaze or treatment, would add an element to the item. You can also apply cabinet finish to the side or at the front of the box to impart a similar overall look for the entire cabinet. Always rely on the manufacturer who can apply the finish in a climate control space for the best finish. 

 

  • Which is better: stock, semi-custom, or custom cabinet?

You can consider these based on quality and design and get three options – 

 

  1. Stock cabinet – They are easily available in the market. These are already prepared and come in popular designs in terms of material and finish.
  2. Semi-custom cabinets - They are known to be made of high-quality material, offering more design options. This implies that you get dozens of door styles instead of just one. You can also choose the finish that matches your customization instead of the standard one.
  3. Custom cabinet - If you are looking for a high-quality material with unlimited design and finish options, then you must go for a custom one. Here, the manufacturer would match the shade of the paint, the door style, and the type to the kitchen style so you get the best match for your cooking environment.

 

Conclusion

While remodeling the kitchen, you can reuse the current cabinets if they are in good condition and style. You can make changes in the countertop, tile backsplash, and lighting to enhance the appearance of the existing ones. You can also apply paint or gel stain on them if replacing the entire cabinet is too expensive.
