Changing out the kitchen cabinets can turn a drab, boring space into a minimalist masterpiece or give the room a classic country feel. Having enough storage can also make your kitchen a joy to cook in, so it’s essential to carefully consider your choices when planning a remodel. Below are a few tips for choosing cabinets that will make you fall in love with your kitchen again.

How to Select the Right Kitchen Cabinets

1. Focus on Function

Installing custom cabinetry is an opportunity to have a kitchen designed around your needs. When choosing fixtures and features, think about how you use the kitchen and which items you use most often. For instance, frequent bakers may want additional space for pans and mixing bowls close to the counters, while aspiring chefs might want slide-out spice racks by the stove.

2. Choose Materials to Match the Style

Today’s manufacturers offer a stunning variety of beautiful options to match any style. The most popular material is still solid wood, which can be stained to evoke an endless variety of moods and styles. However, if you’re going for a modernist or industrial look, stainless steel or metal cabinetry can give your kitchen a distinctive look.

3. Compare Your Style Options

The design is as important as the color, so compare your options carefully before deciding. If you’re going for a traditional appearance, opt for framed cabinets with a strip of wood around each door. However, if you’re designing a sleek, modern kitchen, you might want unframed doors, which provide a more streamlined, seamless aesthetic.
