3 Decisions You'll Need to Make When Building a Kitchen Cabinet

June 24, 2020

When the idea of piecing a dream kitchen comes to mind, most people will think about various details, appliances, and trinkets to utilize. 

Thanks to the evolving field of interior design, the possibilities are truly endless when it comes to building the perfect culinary space because of all the available options. From cutting-edge refrigerators and bespoke Japanese knives to Dutch ovens and decorative plates, you’ll never run out of different opportunities to tinker around with when putting the perfect space together.

Among all the different factors you’ll need to consider when designing your dream kitchen, you may be overlooking one crucial detail: Your cabinets.

Why your cabinets matter and what decisions you need to make

Although they may not seem as significant as a state-of-the-art kitchen oven, cabinets are just as vital in any kitchen because they help bring everything into a full circle. Without these storage spaces, you may run into the risk of having a final product that’s as good as nothing because they put the necessary details into the whole experience every single day you’re in the kitchen!

Fortunately, choosing the best style of kitchen cabinet for your home is a straightforward task that entails making the following three decisions from start to finish:

Decision #1: What layout are you using?

From grandiose technological solutions to ustic set-ups, all types of cabinets have one crucial factor in common: a functional layout that sets the standard for everything else to follow.

Cabinet layouts generally come in various sizes, shapes, and configurations depending on the overall structure of the kitchen and the preferences of the homeowner building it. For instance, L-shape island kitchens call for the use of length-oriented cabinets with more storage and sleekness to keep everything in balance. On the other hand, a smaller cooking space will make do with short, but simple hanging cabinet to keep everything spacious!

Decision #2: Which finishing option best suits your kitchen and tastes?

As the most visual part of an assembly (aside from the cabinet’s form itself), your finishing choice plays a significant role in determining the success of your project. From the type of grain and staining patterns used to the variety of colours and top-coat options available, there are many options that can be used to make your cabinet a perfect fit in your kitchen. For this reason, don’t be afraid to experiment with the final finish before confirming your choices!

Decision #3: What pieces of hardware would work best with your assembly?

At the final part of the cabinet building process, you will need to choose the little details that will adorn your product and make it whole. By the time you get to this decision, you’ll mostly need to deal with your knob choices, hinge options, designer bar options, and other small trinkets. This step is the last opportunity where you can truly make your cabinet as unique as possible!
