When you’re having trouble finding the right property for sale, opting for a custom home will allow you to have all the features you want. If you buy a manufactured house, you can customize the fixtures that will go in it, including ones in the kitchen. One element to personalize according to your aesthetic preferences and needs is the style of your cabinetry. Here are a few tips that may come in handy when you’re designing yours.

How to Choose Kitchen Cabinets for Your Custom Home

1. Consider Your Overall Design

You want your manufactured home to look and feel cohesive as you go from one room to the next. As such, think about the overall aesthetic you want to carry throughout your living spaces. Whether you’re leaning toward rustic, farmhouse chic, coastal, contemporary, or Mediterranean, you’ll want to choose cabinets that capture this essence. 

For example, rich hardwood is a classic option for traditional kitchens, while glass-front fixtures have a more contemporary look. If you want to create a beachy environment, opt for light woods to open up the space and make it look sunnier.

2. Prioritize Organization

Above all, kitchen cabinets and drawers should help you stay organized so that cooking, baking, and storing pans is easy. To do this, incorporate storage into your units. Your builder can add shelving in cupboards or a pantry pull-out to maximize your use of available space. 

3. Compare Hardware Options

Handles and drawer pulls can also contribute to your interior design, so choose options that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and complementary to your cabinet colors. Your main options in terms of hardware include knobs, easy-pull handles, latches, and cup-shaped handles.

Each option is available in a range of materials, including brass, stainless steel, colored plastic, and vintage porcelain. You can also select a shiny or matte finish depending on your preferences. If you have senior family members or ones with mobility limitations, opt for simple drawer pulls. If you have children, latches will add more security so little ones are unable to open lower cabinets. When in doubt, visiting showrooms is a helpful and efficient way to decide what you want.
