The sky is the limit in kitchen cabinet designs
When it’s time to replace your kitchen cabinets, or if you’re choosing cabinets for a new build, it’s going to be a difficult task because there are so many beautiful and original designs available. You have options for styles, woods, and finishes, and each choice you make will make a different statement in your kitchen. This article is being written to give you some ideas of what’s out there, what’s popular, and the different looks you can achieve.
The cabinets can be configured in any way you like to include different components. No matter if you want a sleek, modern kitchen or a cozy country feel, you can get cabinet designs that will enhance your decor and give you all the functionality you need. In addition to basic cabinets, you can get modules that contain pantries, drainers, glass fronts, wine racks, a matching range hood, and other unique pieces that will give your kitchen a unique look while improving its usability.
Kitchen cabinets are available made from many different woods. Most have hardwood fronts with plywood interiors for savings. Be careful with those made with particle board interiors, because particle board is notorious for absorbing water from the kitchen environment and then bending and cracking. You may want to choose the wood for your kitchen cabinets to match the rest of the woodwork in your home. That is the traditional way of selecting kitchen design. However, in a modern kitchen anything you like goes. If you want different cabinet components made from various types of woods or in different colors, go ahead!
There is a wide selection of finishes that can be used for kitchen cabinets. Even new homeowners these days choose to have cabinets painted in various earth tones. Just as the days of white metal utility cabinets gave way to the wood designs of the last few decades, modern design is changing to reflect the personalities of those who design them. While you can still finish wood cabinets to allow the wood grain to pass through with desired stains and lacquers, you can also find a variety of cabinets with heat foil and other fabricated finishes.
Having mismatched cabinets, both in design and color, is one of the latest trends. Exotic woods like knotty chestnut and Canadian red birch are becoming more popular, and people are choosing cabinets with both horizontal and vertical grain to give their kitchens a unique look. Additionally, many people select European-style cabinets that stand on legs and are made to resemble fine furniture. Kitchens are no longer just basic rooms. Now they reflect the style and taste of the designer more than ever in the past.
