Tips for Choosing the Perfect Kitchen Cabinets

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Kitchen CabinetsPlanning on finally giving your kitchen a long-needed upgrade?  Then you need to decide on how to get the perfect kitchen cabinets for your home!  Bertone Woodworking offers custom cabinets of all shapes and sizes, so we can help your dream become a reality – once you figure out what your dream is!

Picking the perfect kitchen cabinet for your home is more art than science, but there are still tips we can give to help you make the process smoother.  Here’s how we recommend going about making your kitchen cabinet selection.

Door First

The door is the front-facing part of your cabinet, and is the defining style trait you’ll be seeing day in and day out.  Therefore, you should design your cabinet from the door in.  You’ll want to decide on what profile you want – whether you want an arch, a recessed square, a flat slab or anything in between – as well as the general style you’re looking for.  That will help you make the right decisions throughout your kitchen cabinet selection experience.

Wood Choices

Once you know the basic shape and design of your cabinet, the next step is to pick the wood that will best match.  The proper color and finish might differ depending on your choice of door design, as well as the other elements of your kitchen.  Our expert designers will help make sure you pick a wood that best matches your needs.

Function and Shape

Now that you know how you want your cabinets to look, the final step is to decide how you want them to work.   Your cabinets are storage space and organizational tools; building custom cabinets allows you to design your workspace from the ground up.   Do you want open shelves or closed drawers?   Would a pantry pullout be beneficial for you?  What about an appliance garage?  Think about how you use your kitchen, and what sorts of cabinets would make your life easiest.
