If you're starting a kitchen remodeling project, updating your cabinets is the best way to improve the functionality of your kitchen and ensure you have the storage space you need. Your home improvement contractor can help you make decisions about the type of cabinets you need, but you can get a head start by thinking about what will work best in your kitchen. Here are some of the factors you'll want to consider.

How to Choose Cabinets During Kitchen Remodeling

1. Style

Kitchen remodeling companies offer a wide range of stock cabinet options, which are fully or partly prefabricated according to existing designs. These options are sturdy, reliable, inexpensive, and designed to be convenient for the average kitchen. Custom cabinets are more of an investment, but they can be tailored to your specific style, needs, and kitchen shape.

2. Material

Kitchen RemodelingYou might be tempted to save money by choosing cheaper woods such as pine, but these can be knotty and are likely to split. If you buy a higher quality material now, you may save money on repairing damages later. Woods like oak, cherry, maple, ash, and hickory will likely last many years. However, if those are just too expensive, plywood is a practical option that is perfect if you are looking to paint your cabinets.

3. Aesthetic

In addition to choosing the color of your cabinets, you’ll also need to think about the shape of the material itself. You might choose a door style which is flat for a modern look, or one with raised or recessed panels for a more classic aesthetic. Also think about the type of handles you want, from simple stainless-steel bars to painted porcelain—or even no visible handles at all.
