Adding the perfect cabinets for your bathroom or kitchen

Both the bathroom and kitchen have huge potential when it comes to creating stylish rooms that reflect and suit your lifestyle.  Not only can sprucing up these rooms help you create stylish and practical living space, but it can also contribute towards the selling value and ‘wow factor’ of your home.

To cut back on clutter and add extra storage space in your contemporary bathroom or modern designer kitchens, you should ensure the room has sufficient storage space, with a stylish edge!

Cabinet sets can make or break the appearance of a bathroom or kitchen; old and ugly units from yesteryear can easily drag a room down, while new styles of cabinets featuring modern colours or designs can contrast brilliantly with an otherwise fairly neutral colour scheme.

Let’s take a look at a few things to consider when choosing cabinets for your home.

Bespoke or stock cabinets

Do you want specially made, custom cabinets or ready-made ones? Before going with a cheaper option like stock cabinets, take a step back and consider how the colour and style of these units will contrast of that of their destined room.

With stock cabinets, many people find it significantly harder to settle on the unit they want, and you may not even be able to find any to fit in with your style of modern kitchens or bathrooms. Plus, you will find it much harder to find the right size.

On the other hand, if you choose custom-made units, you have much more freedom. Just think about all the different materials, designs, finishes and accessories to choose from.

Door style

The next thing to think about is your door style…framed or frameless.

Framed cabinets, with a front frame around the opening, are very popular in traditional kitchens.

Frameless cabinets, on the other hand, have no front frame. It’s probably best to choose these for more modern kitchens.

Handle

When it comes to handles, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It’s probably because there are so many different styles to choose from – traditional or classic, to contemporary or eclectic.

By flipping through design magazines, you might find that your tastes lie in rustic handles, if you have a love of all things vintage.

Or perhaps a modern style is more up your street (they are usually made from polished chrome).

Handleless kitchen and bathroom doors, though, are likely to dominate modern designs for many years to come and the range is developing quickly to keep up with trends.

So, if you have a modern kitchen or bathroom that might be your best option.
