Kitchen cabinets play a big role in the overall design
The kitchen is the heart of your home. So when you’re designing your new one, it makes sense to take some time and really think about what you want in there. If you’ve decided to go with custom cabinets, that’s fantastic! There are so many options and design considerations. We thought we’d share some of our go-to tips for custom cabinet design to help make the process easier.
Start with the number of cabinets
You want to get the most out of your renovation, right? That’s why you’re looking into custom cabinets. A custom cabinet company can help you determine how many cabinets you’ll need for your renovation, so that you not only have beautiful options but enough storage for everything in your kitchen. If you have an open layout, consider installing cabinets in the rest of the area. That way, you get an attractive, cohesive look and even more storage!
Pricing is based on the size, type, and number of cabinets you’d like to have built. A good way to find out if your budget can handle the cost is to go over your plans with a professional, who will give you an estimate based on his or her experience.
How do you want them to look?
Custom cabinets can be designed to fit any space, and also offer more than just storage. They add visual interest or a new look, whether modern, traditional, rustic, or contemporary. Custom build cabinets help plan function into design. In large kitchens tall cabinets are ideal for taller spaces and provide ample storage. In smaller kitchens a row of shorter uniform cabinets might better suit the design. Consider things like wood type, color, door type, and hardware as part of your kitchen cabinet aesthetics.
How do you need them to function?
With custom cabinets, you can have it all. You can mix and match your cabinet styles to fit your personality, the style of your home, or even just the amount of space you have. A kitchen with a mix of different types of cabinets looks unique and interesting, but if it’s too overwhelming, stick to a theme. Contemporary cabinets are great for small spaces while traditional cabinets add classic charm. If all you need is extra storage space, consider adding a pantry or island with cabinetry below the countertop. Or perhaps some extra shelving? You can also expand existing cabinets to accommodate larger appliances.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. Custom cabinets have been designed and built to match your personality and style. Create a space that makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door.
Ask lots of questions!
For a custom look and feel, hire a professional to help install your custom cabinets. Years of professional design experience can’t be beaten when planning the perfect new look. They will take your needs, wants, lifestyle, and kitchen layout all into mind when creating a plan for your new kitchen. They may notice or suggest ideas you missed or see problem areas that need to be addressed first.
