A Door By Any Other Name

Kitchen cabinets add symmetry as well as functionality to a room. 

The ideal cabinet will have lasting appeal, be well made, elegant and understated. Like a classic “little black dress”, your cabinet choices will serve you best when they have a timeless look.

Take sufficient time when selecting a cabinet door style.

Cabinetry will take the lion’s share of your renovation budget, and these cabinets will be the most prominent and most used feature in your kitchen. Think long-term, buy the best that you can afford and choose a style that you will likely love as much ten years from now as you do today.

Think of the cabinet doors as your blank creative canvas.

This is the design element that allows for the greatest amount of personal expression. Your choices are plentiful; recessed, raised, curved, routed, etc., etc, etc.   We understand that this can be overwhelming. We can help. We’ll guide you through the most popular types of kitchen cabinet doors.

  • Shaker is one of the most popular door styles. Classic in design, with a recessed center panel and clean, square lines, this option looks as well in white as it does stain. Shaker cabinetry complements both traditional and contemporary rooms.
  • A flat door front is solid and sturdy. Folks who favor contemporary design will usually gravitate to a flat front door for a sleek and clean feeling. This choice adds a simple elegance and is cost-effective.
  • Inset cabinetry provides clean lines and lets the buyer create a personal look with detailed edges, moldings, and embellishments.
  • Stainless steel is often the choice for homeowners who like the “commercial kitchen”, contemporary feel.
  • Thermofoil is a vinyl material that is applied by heat to medium density fiberboard and then sealed. The result is sleek, durable and very budget friendly.

Change Your Kitchen Style!

It’s summer, and you feel like your kitchen needs an update.

Want to change your kitchen style?  How can you transform your kitchen easily?  With some inspiring ideas.

Backsplash

Freshen your kitchen with a new backsplash.  There are countless styles of tile, like these beautiful honeycomb tiles, or this amazing take on subway tiles in gray.

You don’t have to be tied to tile, though. Tin makes an unusual and timeless statement, and mirror will make your kitchen look much bigger!

Cabinet Style

Feeling ho-hum about your cabinets?  You can get new cabinet fronts and avoid the whole tearing-everything-out remodel scene.  Available in so many styles, one is sure to fit the look you’re shooting for.  Whether your kitchen is country or classic, modern or retro, there is sure to be a new style of cabinet front that will make your kitchen sing.

Hardware

Changing out the hardware on your cabinetry can change the look of your kitchen in an instant. Black hardware on white cabinets gives a sleek modern look, while bronze gives a warm feel on dark cabinetry.

Decor

What you place around your kitchen also has an immediate effect on the feeling and style.  You can get copper accessories like cookie jars, a paper towel holder, even a toaster and stand mixer for a bright lift.

A new area rug with some sizzling colors and jazzy patterns will make your kitchen come alive for summer, and is easy to switch out come fall.  You’ll change the whole look of your kitchen in one easy step!
