Make Over your Kitchen Cabinets

Article By Jennifer Weldon

Cabinets are probably the biggest component of your kitchen. If you are unsatisfied with your current kitchen and are considering a complete kitchen remodel, you may want to re-evaluate. There is a good chance that all you need to do is remodel you cabinets.

Storage
Your kitchen cabinetry may be frustrating because it does not accommodate your needs. You may not have enough storage space and it can become a nightmare to try and find one particular item. By remodeling your cabinets you can alleviate this problem. If you are working with the same cabinet space, install pull-out shelves and lazy susans in large, deep cabinets. These will maximize your storage space and make it easy to reach items in back. You will no longer simply shove everything in and then have to dig it out when needed.

If you are adding additional cabinets, be sure to focus on what your needs are. Do you need more drawers? Do you need additional upper cabinets for plates, glasses, etc? This is your chance to have cabinets to fit your needs installed. By having accessible cabinet space you can ensure every item has its place, making it easy to find when you need it. A professional cabinet contractor can help you with this planning process.

Aesthetics
Whether you are replacing your cabinets entirely or simply refinishing the doors and drawers, you can create a whole different look in your kitchen. You can incorporate the decor throughout the rest of your home to create a consistent and appealing style. With a variety of wood stains, glazes and paints on the market, many different looks are possible. Do not neglect your door hardware when remodeling your cabinets. These can create a finished look to your cabinets and also help incorporate your decor in the kitchen.

Re-Design
If you are completely replacing the cabinets in your kitchen, you may want to redesign some aspects. As long as you keep your appliances and sink in the same location, you will not run into needing electricians and plumbers also. You can increase your cabinet space, add a center work island, and install taller cabinets when re-designing your cabinet layout. A professional cabinet contractor is essential in this design process, as they will be able to assist you in cabinet placement and measuring.

Return on Investment
When you remodel your kitchen cabinets you are giving your kitchen a facelift. This transformation can be just as altering as a complete kitchen remodel. Kitchen remodels add value to a home and help a home sell quicker. Even if you are not listing your home at the moment, you will have peace of mind that in the future you can recoup some of the money you spend on remodeling your cabinets today.

Cost
Remodeling your kitchen cabinets either by replacement or refinishing will cost significantly less than remodeling your entire kitchen. In many cases, the effects are just as nice, and your needs may be met with the new cabinetry alone.

If you have been contemplating remodeling your kitchen, you should take a step back and reassess your goals of a kitchen remodel. In many cases, remodeling your cabinets can achieve what you need and desire. Contact a professional cabinet contractor for free estimates, as well as help in designing and overseeing your project.


Updating Your Bathroom Cabinets

By Jennifer Weldon

The cabinets in your bathroom are not only a focal point, but a springboard for the decor and style of your bathroom. Various atmospheres and looks can be inspired based upon the design and color of your cabinets. Cabinets can be stock made, semi-custom, custom, or even redesigned furniture pieces. Each will create unique looks. Your budget may dictate which category of bathroom cabinet you install, with stock made cabinets being the most inexpensive. These are mass produced which reduces costs, and come in standard sizes.

Semi-custom and custom cabinets are made for the exact specifications of your bathroom needs. They can come in various materials and finishes, with wood being the most popular. There is also a wide range of pricing within this category. Furniture pieces are a new trend in bathroom cabinet design. They also come in various styles including modern, contemporary, hand-painted, French country, and more. They can bring a one of a kind look to a bathroom.

You should consider your bathroom cabinet as more than simply a storage place. When you upgrade your bathroom cabinets, you have a unique opportunity to set the tone for the entire bathroom and tie into the decor throughout the rest of your home. Traditional bathroom cabinets feature wooden doors that hide the shelving. More modern looks involve using a series of shelving and/or glass doors. Cabinets even come in vibrant colors if you want to add some interest to your bathroom. You should have your cabinets installed with your needs in mind. Children may need lower cabinets so they can reach the sink easier. If you or your spouse is tall, you may want raised cabinets to accommodate higher sinks. This will protect your back and keep you from leaning over all the time.

Once you've determined the general style for your bathroom cabinetry, then you can evaluate your needs. A powder room may only need minimal storage space for a few extra bathroom essentials and cleaning products. A master bathroom, however, may have much more varied storage needs. By having the proper amount of drawers, shelves and doors, you can better organize the items you have stored in your bathroom. This will cut down on clutter and time you spend searching for items in the morning. When upgrading your bathroom cabinets keep in mind that this task is anything but boring. You can transform your bathroom with a new, interesting look simply by changing your cabinets.
