The cabinets in your kitchen, bathroom, entryway, or another area of your home play several essential roles. They keep items organized and hidden from view, they keep clutter at bay, and they contribute to your home’s aesthetic. The best way to make the most of your cabinets is to customize them, which means there are some key cabinet design decisions you must make.
- Hardware or Handle-Free? Cabinet doors without any handles offer clean lines, but unless they are designed with a groove to help with gripping, they can be more difficult to open than cabinet doors with handles. Hardware helps with opening and closing cabinet doors more easily, and it also adds a decorative element.
- Open or Closed? Do you want the contents of your cabinets entirely hidden, or do you want to display your beautiful dishware stored inside? You might decide to do a bit of both, as open cabinets can help to break up a long block of closed cabinets for a more balanced appearance.
- Paint or Natural Wood? The finish you choose is an essential component of cabinet design that can play a huge role in your space’s overall aesthetic. If you want a sleek and modern space, you might paint your cabinets white. A bright pop of color works great for a more eclectic design, and natural wood grain is fantastic for a traditional look.
- How Many Cabinets? Many people think the more storage the better, but there is such a thing as too many cabinets. Make sure you have enough cabinets to conveniently store the essentials, but you might want to avoid designing a space that is swallowed up by whole walls of cabinets.
