Cabinetry - Oh What Fun!

Alice Lane

Kitchen and bathroom remodeling or renovations are extremely popular endeavors to take on as both a do-it-yourselfer and as a general home improvement project. One of the most exciting parts of it all is picking out the cabinetry. Cabinetry comes in so many styles, shapes, sizes, and shades of wood grain these days it can be overwhelming. However, it is also really exciting to think about how you want these stylish pieces of “furniture” to be functional as well.

Another great thing about remodeling is that kitchen remodeling ideas are everywhere you turn. Of course, ideas for remodeling a bathroom are easy to find too. If you have access to the Internet, take a look-see on sites such as HGTV, DIY, and others connected to home improvement shows. You can also check out the programs themselves but the Internet isn’t limited by time constraints. You can find anything from the trendiest designs to contemporary, to vintage, to ethnic. It will also inspire you to consider more than the traditional kitchen cabinet layout you are used to.

When considering a cabinetry layout, functionality is extremely important and modern designs help make the kitchen a user-friendly and convenient place to work in. Think about top cabinets and bottom cabinets. How do you use them now? Do you have back problems and would prefer upper cabinets for day-to-day usage while using lower cabinets for storage? Do you like some open cabinets or glass door cabinets to display your prettiest pieces or do you like everything hidden behind closed doors? Do you want some pantry space? Do you want a hidden garbage or recycling area? Do you like shelves that slide out? There are so many new and exciting features your cabinets can possess.

Don’t forget about lighting. In your display cabinets, above the cabinets or below them, you can have recess lighting to create a warm mood in the room, highlight your displays, or make your workstation more usable. Decide this before ordering them.

Be sure to investigate the various woods and brands of cabinets out there. This is an area where you want to be sure about what you are getting. Some brands are well known, like Kraftmaid kitchen cabinets. Others may be less known but could be of equal quality.

When it comes to bathrooms, there isn’t nearly as much to worry about in terms of scale but the style and functionality should still be considered. Mostly, ask yourself how much storage you have and will need from you new cabinets. The nice thing about bathroom cabinets, that is not as much so for kitchen cabinets, is the range of styles. You may have seen that more and more people are enjoying the look of bathroom cabinets that resemble actual pieces of furniture. This allows for an incredible amount of variation and style.

Cabinets, cabinets, cabinets can be a really fun part of your remodel. They do tend to catch the eye and dominate a space so make sure you not only like them but that you love them.
