Kitchen Cabinet Designs
To get maximum storage space, a good kitchen cabinet design is imperative. Quality cabinets can add grace and functionality and enhance the value of your home. It is quite a challenging task to choose the right cabinets suited to your kitchen taking into consideration the material, style, design and new trends. There are mainly three types of kitchen cabinets available: Stock cabinets, semi-custom cabinets and custom cabinets.
Stock cabinets are pre-assembled or ready to assemble units that are relatively inexpensive, but come in a limited range of styles. Semi-custom cabinets take a much longer time to manufacture and deliver. They feature high quality workmanship and there are a wide range of styles and finishes available. Custom cabinets are ordered and made to the specifications of the individual. They are obviously costly, but if you can afford them, it’s the ultimate choice to get the cabinets perfectly suited for your home.
Kitchen cabinets are usually made from various types of wood. The common ones in use are pine, cherry, hickory, maple, oak, birch, poplar and alder. Cherry, maple and birch are best suited to manufacture high quality cabinets. You can also go for less expensive materials such as poplar and alder which when combined with a glazed finish are excellent for creating an antique look. Hard wearing cabinets are best made of oak and hickory whereas pine which is a soft wood is prone to scratches and dents. However, if you’re going for a rustic or country style, pine is a fabulous choice since those dents and scratches add the character of use.
