Upgrade Your Basic Kitchen Cabinets

Trying to make your kitchen bolder and trendier? Consider mixing up the colors on your upper and lower cabinets, or by adding cabinets to your island.

Other upgrades to consider when buying cabinets for the kitchen are:

• Roll-Out Shelving – Custom kitchens have lots of built-in features to add functionality and adding shelving to your cabinets can be done on a budget! Consider a roll-out shelf for bottom cabinets to make it easier to store pots and pans.
• Flat-front cabinets – Also called slab doors, flat-front doors are solid with no panels or any other framing. This simple, minimalist look works really well for modern kitchens.
• Soft close cabinets – Consider this type of hinge for your cabinets to reduce noise in your kitchen. Drawers and doors suffer damage over the years of being slammed close, so this is a great way to preserve your cabinets.

Kitchen Design Inspiration

Whether you’re doing a redesign or a full kitchen renovation, careful planning can help you create a kitchen that will be beautiful as well as functional.

Your kitchen is a multi-functional space used for cooking, cleaning, eating, entertaining, and even as a home-schooling room. You should love spending time in this space, and a thoughtful design can make that happen.

Looking for inspiration? We’ve got you covered!

1. Be smart with organization! Think about how and where you typically use certain items. For example, keep your flatware near the dishwasher to ease the process of unloading clean dishes.
2. Wide walkways are key. Make sure your floor plan includes enough room between the island (if it exists) and cabinets, and make sure aisles are wide enough. You want to be able to easily move through the space while you’re alone and when your family is also in the space.
3. Consider traffic flow! For a kid-friendly kitchen design, make the refrigerator accessible to both people cooking and those who just want to sneak in for a snack. Also take care to keep the cooktop out of high traffic areas.
4. Go for stainless steel accents. Besides appliances, consider other stainless accents like pendant lights, vent hoods, and drawer handles.
