What to Consider When Picking Out Custom Cabinets

Having the flexibility to customize your cabinet design is a great way to give your home renovations some added flair, ensuring that your cabinets will be unique and stylish. However, choosing the custom cabinet design that’s right for you can be challenging with such a wealth of options to consider. Here are a few of the most important factors to consider when designing your custom cabinets.

Doors

The doors that you choose for your cabinets will make a statement in any room. You’ll first want to consider which type of wood you want to use. Cherry, Maple, Hickory, Oak, and Alder are all popular wood choices. Decide how much you’d like the natural grain of the wood to be visible and whether you prefer a straight grain or one that features rings and whorls. Choosing the right door handles and hinges is also an important step to making your cabinet dreams come true. Consider the other accents in the room, such as drawer handles and light fixtures. Then choose your accent color for the room; some of the most popular accent colors are silver, gold, and black. Once you’ve decided on a color, you can consider the variety of and materials available, and finally, choose a style so that your cabinet handles can open up a world of possibility.

Finish

Choosing a cabinet finish is so much more than simply deciding on a color. In addition to classic paint for a base color, there are a variety of different finishes you can choose from:

• Glaze – a glaze can be sprayed over a base coat of paint, altering the base color and adding definition.
• Highlights – hand-painted highlights will accentuate the chosen base color, adding to the overall beauty of the cabinet.
• Distressing – this process creates the appearance of aged or antique cabinets.
• Stain – illuminates the natural beauty of the wood you’ve chosen for your cabinets.

You can combine these elements in a variety of ways to bring the vision of your cabinets to life and create truly stunning results.
