The Secret to Affordable Kitchen Cabinets

There are a wide variety of kitchen cabinet styles to choose from when planning your new kitchen design. You can select cabinets that are pre-assembled or ready-to-assemble (RTA), which offer the convenience of home delivery and installation. When deciding on what type of cabinetry to incorporate into your design, it’s important to consider both style and function. Do you want to learn more? Visit Scottsdale Kitchen Cabinets. The items stored in your cabinets, as well how often they are used, will help dictate which type of cabinetry is right for you.

Aesthetics

One of the main reasons why people replace their old cabinets is to modernize the look of their kitchen. If your appliances and countertops are still in good condition but your cabinets look outdated, Cabinet Refacing may be a good option for you! This process involves bonding a new laminate or wood veneer over the existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts. It’s much more affordable than replacing all your cabinetry and can be done in as little as two weeks!

 If you have your heart set on all new cabinetry, there are many different door styles, colors and finishes to choose from to create the perfect look for your home. The most popular styles include Shaker, Traditional, Transitional and Contemporary.  Custom Vs Semi-Custom Cabinets

When selecting new cabinetry, you have the option of purchasing either Custom or Semi-Custom cabinets. As the name suggests, Custom cabinets are made specifically for your home based on the measurements of your kitchen space. This allows you to select any size, door style or finish to create a truly unique look. Because they are made-to-order, custom cabinetry tends to be more expensive than Semi-Custom.  However, if you have an unconventional layout or want something very specific, Custom is usually the way to go!

Semi-Custom cabinets are factory built with fewer size and finish options than Custom but more than Stock (discussed below). These types of cabinets offer a good middle ground for homeowners who want more control over their design than what’s offered with Stock cabinets but don’t necessarily need or want the expense of Custom.  Stock Cabinets

Thanks to their lower price point and wide availability, Stock cabinets are a popular choice among first time homeowners and budget DIYers alike. These types of cabinets come in standard sizes with limited finish and door style options. Because they’re mass produced in factories, they tend to be less expensive than both Custom and Semi-Custom alternatives but offer less flexibility in terms of design as well.    Now that you know a little bit more about the different types of cabinetry available on the market today, it’s time to start planning your new kitchen design!  If you need help getting started, contact Hunt’s Kitchen & Design – we would love to help turn your vision into reality!
