No matter the scale of your house renovation, choosing kitchen cabinets is one of the most daunting tasks ever. But there are many factors to consider for the same.

Read on to know more.

1. If you are wanting to customize

Many people believe that as the wall length is of an unusual size, they would need a custom cabinet. But they aren’t aware of the fact that they are also the most expensive option. For semi-custom cabinets, it is made according to the customer’s needed sizes but only in predetermined increments. Hence, use spacers to fill any unused space. Stock cabinets are bought more or less off the rack from the readymade styles. Albeit, these cabinets are affordable, it is important to check the quality as these cabinets aren’t made of solid wood.

2. Select a cabinet-door combo that works for you functionally and aesthetically

In most of the kitchens, you will find many base cabinets and wall cabinets. Both of these, usually comes with doors instead of open shelving or drawers. Many times, the upper cabinets are used for selective display and the base cabinets hold the bulk of the utensils and wouldn’t look great on a visible shelf. Base cabinets are famous for pull out drawer option, rather than a swinging door.

3. Framing

Another choice you have to make is to frame the rutt cabinets or not. The former is famous in traditional kitchens where the door comes attached to a front frame in the opening and the hinges are visible as well. For cabinets where a door attaches to the side where no hinge or hardware is being displayed, opt for frameless. Frame vs frameless has a huge impact on the type of cabinet door, hardware and hinge you can choose from.

4. Assess the additional costs

As many kitchens work great with basic swinging doors, customized doors and drawer accessories to enhance the functionality and cleanliness. As aforementioned, drawers in the base cabinets make it easy to reach out for pans and pots. But, be wary that the price may raise up to 20 percent or more as the installation and hardware costs may be included in these very features.

5. Lighting

If you are designing a new kitchen or just redecorating the current one, lighting can change any space and is now deemed very popular with the cabinetry section. Integrated lighting with the cabinets tends to vary from fixtures and turns itself on automatically when you open a drawer.
