When selecting cabinetry, the most obvious choices include which style or finish you like best. Equally important, however, is how the cabinets will function for your lifestyle. Cabinetry can incorporate built-in appliances. Or custom cabinet faces can conceal or camouflage your appliances to match the rest of the cabinetry. There are also a wide variety of built-in amenities to consider including with your cabinets. Examples include wine storage and pull-out shelving to built-in spice racks or cookware and cutlery organization.
Once you have an idea of how you need your cabinetry to function, you can concentrate on the way it looks. The style of cabinets can range from modern clean lines to ornate detailing and paneling. When it comes to the materials and finish of your cabinets, the options are almost endless. The materials can include a variety of wood species, reclaimed materials, glass, or even stainless steel. The finishes can include stains, paints, glazes, distressing techniques, or a combination of any or all of these. The finish of the cabinetry can go a long way in creating the atmosphere you are looking for, from a rustic cabin to the eclectic trend setter.
In addition, the cabinet’s construction can dictate its style. Framed cabinetry is the more traditional style that reveals the frame of the cabinet face between the doors or drawers. In other words, you can see the frame between and above the doors. Frameless is just the opposite. The frame of the cabinet is concealed because the door or drawer covers the entire frame of the cabinet face. Frameless cabinetry creates a more seamless, modern look.
