For any homeowner, custom-made kitchen cabinets bring a great sense of excitement because with it, comes the freedom and flexibility to design it according to their needs. Kitchen cabinets are not just a place to keep your stuff; their design can influence the entire look of your kitchen.
One thing is certain; for custom cabinetry, the choice is virtually limitless and it is advisable to do some research so that you can plan what you want, whether you intend removing your old cabinets and getting new ones or setting up a whole new kitchen in a new home.
Most people tend to believe that custom cabinetry is very expensive, but this is not necessarily true. Depending on what you want, a cost effective material can be engineered to the required specifications so that you have a custom cabinet at probably half the cost of stock cabinets.
The space available in the kitchen will determine the design and plan of your kitchen cabinets. Factor in space for other home appliances like refrigerator, cooking range, microwave, blender, and dishwasher, washing machine/dryer that will also be located in the kitchen and plan your cabinets accordingly.
When you go in for custom made cabinets, you can choose from hand-chosen wood, reclaimed wood, which is a more environmentally friendly option and rich woods like mahogany, oak, rosewood, etc. You can also get the cabinetmaker to reface or finish your existing cabinetry to give it a whole new look. Other options are fitting glass doors that are decorative, convenient corner cabinets, and drawers with gliders, etc.
Kitchen cabinet design, in its most basic form is usually taken as a straight line along the longest wall to maximize space. There is also the L or U shaped layout, but you will have to decide what is best based on your specific space. Preferably keep the refrigerator and cooking range far apart. If you intend including an island in your kitchen, plan the position of your kitchen cabinets accordingly.
To summarize, here is what you should look at while ordering custom made kitchen cabinets:
-Your kitchen layout - new cabinets or just renovate by replacing the doors for a new look.
-Material - since it will influence the price greatly
-Cabinet doors and drawers - do you want framed, paneled or plain? While decorative looks great, plain can also make a statement.
-Countertops - need to be coordinated with your cabinets for a harmonious look, so choose the complementary material with care.
-Cabinet accessories - hardware makes a difference in the appearance of your cabinets and in ease of use. It is always advisable to get good quality hardware in the form of hinges, handles, pulls, knobs, etc.
Check the quality of the material used to build your kitchen cabinets, depending on what you intend storing in the cabinets. In the long run, higher priced good quality is always better than short-term cheap material for your custom made kitchen cabinets.
