Thought about updating your kitchen cabinets?

When updating your kitchen cabinets, there are several things to consider in order to achieve the best possible outcome. By considering these factors, you can select the best kitchen cabinets to update your space and create a beautiful, functional kitchen.

Here are some key things to look for:

  1. Style and Design: Choose a style and design that complements the overall look of your kitchen. Consider the existing color palette, flooring, countertops, and backsplash when selecting new cabinets.

  2. Quality of Materials: Look for high-quality materials that will stand up to the wear and tear of daily use. Solid wood and plywood are popular choices for cabinet construction, while laminate and MDF may be more affordable options.

  3. Functionality: Evaluate the functionality of your current cabinets and consider whether you need to make any changes to better suit your storage needs. Look for features like adjustable shelving, pull-out drawers, and built-in organizers. Little adjustments can go a long way mitigating the need of significant kitchen remodeling.

  4. Hardware: Choose hardware that complements the style of your cabinets and the overall look of your kitchen. Consider the finish, style, and durability of knobs, pulls, and hinges. (hint - if on a tight budget, consider new door knobs and hinges as an intermediate upgrade)

  5. Color and Finish: Consider the color and finish of your new cabinets. Choose a finish that will hold up well over time and that complements the existing finishes in your kitchen. Popular finishes include natural wood, painted, and stained.

  6. Cost: Set a budget for your kitchen cabinet update and choose materials and features that fit within your budget. Consider whether you want to invest in higher-end materials and features, or if you prefer a more affordable option.
