Kitchen cabinets are going to take up the most visual space. They are
eye level, and they hold everything that people are looking for
(except cold food and drinks). They are the elephant in the room.
Every cabinet remodel is a project in either attracting the best
attention to your cabinets (because who wants their eyes caught by
ugly cabinetry?), or to downplay the cabinetry with some softer colors
in order to highlight some great countertops like granite, brushed
steel, or butcher block.
So the real question becomes?do you want to highlight or tone down?
The two things that people are going to be looking at, with respect to
your cabinet remodel, are the hardware and the doors. No one is going
to be eyeballing the sides, the insides, the kickplates, or the backs.
The doors are where most of the cabinet budget will settle, especially
with wood cabinets.
Hardware. This is can one of the most deceptive areas of hidden costs
for cabinet remodels. Good hardware isn't cheap, and if you want your
kitchen cabinet remodeling to be high end, then you need to get the
right hardware to go with it. Research the market and cabinet stores
for what is out there to determine what you like. If you can't find
what you like, you can have your cabinet pulls custom made. Remember,
the price goes up for the cabinet remodel, but then again nobody else
will have hardware quite like yours.
