Trends in Kitchen Cabinet Design

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 10, 2009 – When choosing to redesign your kitchen, there are few things to consider. The first is the flow and functionality that you are trying to accomplish. The second aspect is your personality. Some people have a more primadona personality and want only the most elegant of designs, while others are more down to earth, thus prefer more country or rustic designs. These two aspects are essential to having the trendy kitchen that you have always dreamed of.

Choosing the color and type of wood are important, choosing a design that maximizes storage space for your needs is more important from a functionality standpoint. At Indian River Cabinets, we have put together some ideas to help you in formulating your kitchen cabinet design:

1. Custom Cabinets or Ready to Assemble Cabinets: Custom cabinets are more suited for those who have a unique design in mind, while ready to assemble cabinets are more for your standard kitchens and for people on a budget.

2. Woods and Finish: Whether you choose custom cabinets or ready to assemble cabinets, the choice of wood are the same. The only difference is that our ready to assemble cabinets are 100% all-wood durable construction. However, both custom cabinets and ready to assemble cabinets have the same strict quality guidelines so the type of wood is really a matter personal choice. Here are some of the common woods used: Oak, Cherry, and Maple. The common types of finishes include: Sanibel Cinnamon Glaze, Mandarin, and Toffee.

3. Doors: If you are looking for a country theme kitchen, glass doors that are either clear or frosted are a good option. If you want more traditional type of doors, go with a European Frameless design.

4. Drawers or Shelves: These are the most common items that have to be replacing most often. Choose drawers with a soft close feature for the type of kitchen that takes a lot of abuse.

5. Special Storage: Some of the most common special storage features to choose from are built in wine racks, plate storage, or an island that has plate storage feature for those buffet style occasions. A new trend in kitchen design is hiding the appliances such as the dishwasher, microwave to be part of the cabinet design.

These are some of the things to consider when planning your new kitchen design. Working with a kitchen design specialist for assistance on design ideas is also an added benefit.
