Kitchen cabinets are one of the most important elements in any kitchen. They provide additional storage space, as well as visual appeal and can really bring a kitchen together. Not only do they provide utility, they also bring personality to the space. Knowing how to choose the right kitchen cabinets is key to balancing the look and feel you want in your kitchen.

When it comes to the look and style, you first want to consider what kind of cabinet door you prefer. You may choose from raised panel, flat panel, shaker, or slab style doors. The door style is what you’ll see first and has the most impact on the look and style of the overall kitchen. You’ll also want to consider the wood type and finish, as this will also greatly affect the overall look of the cabinets. Finally, you should consider any accent pieces such as glass doors, textured doors, or cabinet pulls, which can really add character to your kitchen.

In addition to style, you also want to consider your storage needs. You should think about how many shelves, drawers, and/or storage compartments you will need as well as their depth. Altering the cabinet depth is a great way to make a kitchen look larger and more functional at the same time. A good cabinet installer will be able to help you find the best option for your space.

Finally, consider your budget. Cabinets come in many different price points, so it’s important to determine what you are willing to spend before you start shopping. Consider the quality of the material, as well as how well the cabinets are made.

When it comes time to make your selection, remember to consider the look and style, your storage needs, as well as your budget. Once you’ve selected the right cabinets, you’ll be able to enjoy the added storage space and improved look of your kitchen.
