How to Pick Cabinets
Cabinets are a critical part of interior design providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal to a space. Whether you are renovating a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, or any other space, selecting the right cabinets is crucial to achieving the desired look. Explore some tips to keep in mind when choosing your cabinets for your next interior design project:
- Understand Your Needs: What is the purpose of the cabinets—are they for storage, display, or a combination of both? Assess the amount of space you have available and any specific requirements, such as accessibility features
- Determine Your Style: Decide whether you prefer a traditional, contemporary, or transitional aesthetic. This will help you decide on what cabinet style you like that harmonizes with your space.
- Consider Material and Finish: The material and finish of your cabinets can greatly impact the overall look and feel of the space. Common options include wood, laminate, metal, and glass. Choose a material and finish that complements your desired style and coordinates with other elements in the room, such as flooring, countertops, and hardware.
- Think About Functionality: Functionality is key when choosing cabinets, especially in high-traffic areas like the kitchen. Opt for features that enhance usability and organization, such as soft-close hinges, pull-out shelves, and built-in storage solutions. Generally, it is easier to open a cabinet with a knob and a drawer with a pull.
In the end, experimentation is the best way to dial in your personal preference because every room has its own unique set of requirements. If you find yourself unsure of what you’d like, we recommend you place a smaller order of hardware. Take some time to try different styles, sizes, and finishes to see how the swap impacts your space.
Picking cabinets can be tough, that is why we are here to help and transform your space.
