Choosing kitchen cabinets in Pittsburgh (or any other city) is a critical part of your overall kitchen renovation and should be done with care and consideration. If you choose the wrong type of cabinet for your overall decor or theme, you could ruin the entire look of your kitchen. Here are some of the most popular types of cabinets, and the types of kitchens they’re best suited for:
- Wood: This is a great choice for almost any style of kitchen. Alder, oak and maple can be ideal choices for rustic or cottage kitchens; cedar is also a great choice for cottage or rustic kitchens. Cherry can be ideal for contemporary or modern styles.
- Glass Front: This can add a touch of sophistication to cottage or rustic kitchens. It’s a great way to show off your pretty dishes or coffee mugs. Frosted glass will give you a bit more privacy.
- Veneer: These modern cupboards are best suited for contemporary or modern kitchens, and come in several different styles, and handles, including seamless handles for a sleek, sophisticated look.
- Open shelving: These look great in both traditional kitchens and contemporary ones. If you like everything in its place and like to show off your dishes and cookware, cookbooks and other items, you will appreciate the open shelving design.
If you’re overwhelmed by your choices or you’re just not sure of which one would be best for you and your budget, visit a design center for more ideas. You can also research online or visit home renovation stores to gather ideas. Make a short list of two or three that you like, and get a professional opinion of what would work best for you. Have a budget in mind and stick to it.
