Your cabinets can make all the difference when it comes to transforming the look of your kitchen. That is why most experts will tell you that cabinetry is the most vital element in a kitchen remodel.
What makes kitchen cabinetry so important to kitchen remodeling? Consider the following four reasons.
It’s One of the First Things People Notice About Your Kitchen Remodel
When you welcome family, friends or guests into your kitchen, your cabinetry is going to be the first thing they notice. For most adults, your kitchen cabinets will be at or around eye level. Naturally, people will see the cabinetry at first glance upon entering the kitchen.
First impressions are everything. That said, it doesn’t matter how extravagant the rest of your kitchen looks. If your cabinets are poorly made or outdated, anybody who enters your kitchen is going to take notice.
Cabinetry Is the Foundation to Your Kitchen’s Appearance
From the color scheme to the theme and appearance, your cabinetry will dictate the look and feel of your kitchen. That’s why it’s so important to look at your cabinetry options before deciding on anything else. After all, it doesn’t matter how nice your countertops look if they don’t blend with your cabinets.
It Is Easier to Design and Build Around Your Cabinetry
Whether you are remodeling your kitchen all at once or over a few years, you’ll want to start with the room’s cabinetry. The cabinetry is often called the cornerstone or backbone of the kitchen remodel for a good reason.
From planning the use of space in the kitchen to determining what kind of stone you want to use for your countertops, you’ll first need to have an idea as to the cabinetry you’re going to use before making any decisions. There’s no sense in installing a granite countertop on cabinetry that you intend to replace, or planning the kitchen floor design if you don’t know where the essential component will get placed.
By choosing and installing your cabinetry first, everything else becomes a whole lot easier.
Functionality Is the Key to a Successful Kitchen Remodel
While appearance is important to consider when remodeling your kitchen, it is essential not to lose sight of the kitchen’s primary purpose. You’re going to need as much storage as possible without sacrificing floor or counter space. By choosing your cabinetry first, you’ll be able to do just that. You’ll have more options to choose from, which means you’ll be able to find cabinetry that not only looks great but provides for the ultimate in storage efficiency.
