Adding extra space to prepare food, creating an open layout, and allowing guests to sit at the island for a quick meal or drink are all great advantages to the kitchen island. However, by adding kitchen cabinets in islands, you can gain even more benefits.

Increased Storage

Including kitchen cabinets in your island means that there is unlimited extra storage within your kitchen. Perhaps you would like to begin recycling, store rarely used dishes, or just use the space at your discretion. Anyone who has designed a kitchen knows that there can never be too much storage space. Thankfully, an island is the perfect solution to increasing space.

Child Friendly

As children reach a certain age, they are old enough to make simple sandwiches for themselves, or maybe pour their own breakfast cereal and milk. Kitchen cabinets in islands are often the perfect height for them to access dishes and cups, and makes it easy for them to know which are designated for them.

Whether you want to create more storage space in your kitchen, or provide your child with easy access to their dishes, kitchen cabinets are a great addition to your island.

Generally about 40% of the total kitchen remodeling cost goes toward kitchen cabinetry. It’s also a very long-term choice, so making a smart choice that you will be happy with and enjoy is important.

Quality counts when it comes to new kitchen cabinets. Do your homework before you purchase new cabinets. If you want real quality, make sure you’re purchasing real wood and not particle board or other compressed types of woods.

Four of the top choices in cabinets today include:

Oak, with its unbeatable durability, continues to be the most popular wood choice for kitchen cabinets.  Oak can be stained in a variety of tones to create the look you want.

Maple, a very hard wood, is known for its uniform grain.  Many people prefer the light natural color of maple, but it also readily accepts other stains and finishes.

Cherry, a mid to dark wood, has a distinctive grain that darkens and becomes more beautiful as it ages. Cherry creates a very elegant look in your home décor.

Hickory, a dense wood, has a rustic appeal with patterns of various black, brown, and yellow hues.

No matter which type you choose, if you make sure  you’re getting quality wood for your kitchen cabinets, you’ll be making a wiser choice for such an important home improvement.

At DirectBuy you can choose from a wide range of kitchen cabinet styles, designs and types. You can be sure you’re buying top-quality wood cabinets when you shop at DirectBuy and you can enjoy the savings of manufacturer-direct prices.
