Questions When Purchasing Cabinets

Your kitchen cabinets are a perfect example of this general home renovation priority and trend. When purchasing your beautiful, modern kitchen cabinets to complete your European kitchen design, be sure to consider the following questions.

  • How can you optimize your space? Redesigning your kitchen isn’t just about beauty – it’s also about functionality. Kitchen cabinets are also for storage, so consider which options will give you the best possible organization while still retaining style. Some designers may be able to customize secret compartments to reduce clutter in a subtle way.
  • Are you interested in custom options? Many residential kitchen projects are not compatible with stock cabinet options. Consider how customization can refine your own kitchen design to match your tastes exactly. Custom options could include color, frames, knobs, size, and cabinet finishes. Talk to a designer to choose the best design for your space.
  • What type of finish suits your style? Take the rest of your kitchen into account. If you are going for a more rustic look, a matte finish may be better. Modern kitchen designs, however, could work better with a glaze. Your kitchen countertops and flooring are a good place to start when pinpointing the aesthetic of the room.
  • What other design changes will you be making? Think of your luxury kitchen remodel as a complete picture. If you are ordering new kitchen cabinets, it could be a prime opportunity to redesign the rest of your interior space, let’s say including your interior furniture and bathroom vanities. However, you might also be satisfied with your current design and will be matching the cabinets to this. Just be sure to know this ahead of time.

  • Maple: This wood is very popular for modern custom kitchen designs since its light color makes it easy to stain. The grain of maple wood cabinets is also light, so it looks smooth and uniform in your kitchen from afar.
  • Cherry: A durable option for families with children, cherry wood cabinets can stand up to most wear and tear. This type of wood kitchen cabinets’ color is originally a lighter red or brown, but it gets darker with time.
  • White Oak: The stronger of the oaks, this wood has a rustic, cozy feel. Using white oak wood for your kitchen is another popular choice for custom modern kitchen cabinets and has a soft grain to it.
  • Red Oak: Red oak is versatile, as it takes well too many types of finishes. Its bold grain gives it a more woody look in your kitchen space than the previous options, so it is often used for more transitional or even traditional style kitchen designs.
  • Ash: Ash is a clean wood cabinet material with an even grain. It can be customized with the right finish to look contemporary and crisp, giving your modern kitchen an original feel.
  • Pine: Remember that pine is a softwood, so it is generally speaking less durable than hardwood options in your modern Italian kitchen. It is light in color, making it easy to stain, and it also displays tree knots throughout the cabinet doors. Much like red oak, pine is more commonly found in transitional kitchens.
  • Birch: The birch tree has a luxurious look to it, taking on a variety of colors. Birch has a fine grain and is highly durable, which makes it a preferred material for kitchen projects. It also has a smooth surface that may change color with age.
