Cabinets take up more visual space than any other element in a kitchen, which is why they matter so much to the overall look. The good news is that choosing them does not have to be complicated once you break it down into a few simple decisions.
Start with layout and storage
Before picking a style, think about how you actually use your kitchen. Do you need more drawer storage, a pantry cabinet, or an island with extra seating? We will walk your space with you and suggest a layout that makes the most of it.
Popular door styles
- Shaker: clean, simple lines that fit almost any style.
- Flat panel: a sleek, modern look.
- Raised panel: a more traditional, detailed style.
Finishes and colors
White and light gray remain popular for a bright, timeless look, while warm wood tones and deeper colors are gaining ground for homeowners who want more contrast. Two-tone kitchens, with different colors on the island and perimeter cabinets, are also a popular way to add personality.
Hardware: the finishing touch
Pulls and knobs may be small, but they change the whole feel of a kitchen. Come see our hardware wall in person, since finishes like brushed brass, matte black, and brushed nickel all look different depending on the cabinet color.
Pairing cabinets with countertops and flooring
Cabinets look best when chosen alongside your countertops and kitchen flooring. See how to coordinate cabinets, countertops, and flooring for a simple approach that ties the whole room together.
