The Importance of Your Kitchen Cabinets

As today’s heart of the home, the kitchen adds tremendous value, and kitchen cabinetry is the largest and most important piece of your investment. Cabinets make the kitchen. They determine its look and feel.

However, kitchen design goes far beyond getting the cabinets right. The layout needs to be well suited to your space for the optimum organization of the kitchen.

KBC supplies custom cabinets with unique construction options, finishes, and functions designed to suit your personal needs—the sky is the limit! Our Annapolis showroom is set up for customers to view a wide variety of cabinetry brands that cater to their personal style.

Cabinet Style

You will want to make sure that the style of your kitchen cabinets works well in the kitchen but also blends properly with the rest of your home and in particular the rooms and areas immediately adjacent to the kitchen.

What’s your design style–Traditional, Modern, Contemporary, Transitional? The general rule on kitchen cabinet style is to select a cabinet style that is consistent with the rest of your home’s design style.

Color

The style of the cabinets will be significant to the color choices you make–color and style need to match. The color needs to work with both your personal taste and match other elements of the kitchen, such as appliances, backsplash, flooring, etc.

Blues, grays, and whites are among the most popular color choices for 2020.

Cabinet Storage

Many people underestimate the need to design in proper storage. It is probably a good idea to have more storage rather than less. One way to estimate storage would be to take an inventory of everything you will want to store in your kitchen. Then add 10-20% more storage.

When working with our Annapolis Kitchen Design Showroom designers, they will ask the right questions and show you kitchen design examples so that your kitchen will be the best it can be.
