It’s easy to look at images on social media and long for the homes you see displayed. Maybe it’s the farmhouse chic style that draws you. Perhaps you love an edgy Norwegian minimalist look. Or you follow a home done up in shades of black online. Staying true to your own style in a kitchen remodeling project can be tough. You might feel like you’re being pulled in too many directions. Which motif is more trendy? What will people think of the dual-toned cabinets in a few years? We have a few tips to keep yourself of track throughout the process.
A Clean Look
Here’s something that never goes out of style: cleanliness. When you’re evaluating your choices in kitchen design, think about what will look cleaner to you. Are bright whites a little too sterile? Try going for a slightly softer choice. Is a single hint of yellow enough to remind you of a sepia-toned photo? Check out the bright white kitchen cabinet option like the one above from St Martin Cabinetry. There’s no wrong answer here, it’s all about personal preferences.
Cabinet Fronting
Are you more of a glass half empty or half full kind of person? Alright, all kidding aside, preferences appear to run deep on this question. Are you more of a solid wood cabinet door believer? Or do you like being able to see what’s on your shelves? The answer to this may lie in how you feel about clutter and what types of kitchenware you own. If your kitchen cabinets are often full to the brim, you might want to avoid those see through options. If, however, you like the look of your plates and bowls, some glass fronts wouldn’t go amiss.
Hardware
One of the smaller touches, kitchen cabinet hardware can seriously impact the finished product. Think about the last time you snagged your clothing on a jutting knob. Or banged a knee into a stylish but protruding handle. Acknowledge that your kitchen is likely going to see far too much of you to be less functional than it could be — down to the smallest part.
