A new year often inspires us to tackle home improvement projects, and the kitchen is a popular place to start. Cabinets are the centerpiece of any kitchen design, balancing style and function.
Whether you’re upgrading for better storage or creating a modern look, the right cabinets can transform your space.
Here are our top design tips and tricks for choosing the perfect cabinets:
1. Think About Your Storage Needs
Before selecting cabinets, consider how you use your kitchen. Do you need more space for pots and pans? Extra drawers for utensils? Plan your layout to ensure you’re maximizing storage while keeping your kitchen organized.
Top Pick: The Shaker Style Cabinets offer clean lines and a timeless look, making them a versatile choice for any kitchen.
Pro Tip: Add pull-out shelves or lazy Susans to make the most of hard-to-reach corners
2. Choose a Style That Matches Your Home
Your cabinets should reflect your overall design aesthetic. From traditional to contemporary, Northeast Factory Direct offers a wide range of styles to suit every taste.
Trending Now: Two-tone cabinets are a big hit for 2024, with darker lower cabinets and lighter uppers creating a striking contrast.
Pro Tip: Use glass-front doors on some cabinets to showcase your favorite dishes or decor
3. Don’t Forget About Hardware
Hardware might seem like a small detail, but it can completely change the look of your cabinets. Choose finishes like brushed nickel, matte black, or antique brass to complement your overall design.
Pro Tip: For a cohesive look, match your cabinet hardware to your faucet or light fixtures.
4. Coordinate with Countertops and Flooring
Your cabinets don’t exist in isolation—they need to work seamlessly with your countertops and flooring. For a balanced look, choose complementary colors and textures.
Top Pick: Pair warm wood cabinets with quartz countertops for a natural yet modern aesthetic.
Pro Tip: Use samples to visualize how different materials and finishes will look together before making a final decision.
