6 Kitchen Cabinet Options for a Design Refresh

In the kitchen, cabinets manage storage and organization, giving your spaces more space. But you also want to accent the size of the space. The feeling of looking crowded and overwhelmed doesn't just make your kitchen look smaller, it can make it seem dysfunctional.

The aesthetic is significantly impacted by kitchen cabinets. You can have the most advanced appliances and incredible surfaces available, but without the right cabinets you don't get that 'wow.'

To get a handle on the best kitchen cabinet options, let's take a quick look at what's trendy, what's classic and what's got the experts talking!

Refreshing the Look

If your cabinets are functional and of good quality, refresh them with a new look and save a ton of cash. Restaining or putting down a new layer of paint can do wonders. A wood veneer application will bring new life to your storage spaces. And, when the budget's tight, simply replacing the hardware, such as knobs and handles, will go a long way.

Go With Engineering That Fits the Budget

There are options to choose from that will give your kitchen a new look and keep costs at a comfort level. They are:

Stock Kitchen Cabinetry

The most affordable choice is pre-manufactured, ready-made cabinets. The options are the most affordable. But though of good quality, expect the cabinets to have minimal choices in styles and finishes and to be of standard sizes.

Semi-Custom Kitchen Cabinetry

Semi-custom options offer a greater variety of finishes, sizes and styles. You get to create an installation that suits your tastes and lifestyle. Typically, semi-customs might take a little longer to ship.

Custom Kitchen Cabinetry

This implementation consists entirely of a product engineered to your specifications. You get virtually any size, finish, color, style or feature you want. These will be expensive and will take the longest to get ready.

Classic Kitchen Cabinets

Classic cabinets tend to be no-frill instruments but can combine with other styles. Get personality with add-ons and smart accessories. These resources are usually white or unpainted. Wood is perfect for the classic. Best, if you're selling the house, classic creates a neutral look that's more appealing to buyers.

Color Blocking

Color blocking is grouping colors in one area of the space. The design's been a growing trend for years now. Designers will pick two different cabinet colors and segment them together. An example is using a dark brown color on the floor cabinets and a soft yellow for the upper pieces.

Hardware That Contrasts

Imagine bright matte cabinets accented by dark metallic accessories or oil-rubbed bronze-like hardware against gray or white cabinets. The opposites attract works when combining the right elements. Two unique and different elements in a harmonized union give every kitchen allure.
