Choosing Your New Cabinets Choosing cabinets can be an overwhelming undertaking. What kind of wood? What style door? What color finish? And once style is determined, there is still more to figure out, including construction and accessories. With all this in mind, we’ve compiled some tips to make the decision-making process as easy as possible. Rollinson’s offers distributor pricing on kitchen cabinets. Visit our showroom and let our friendly professional staff help you design the kitchen that’s right for you. Buying direct allows us to pass the savings on to our customers making it easy to follow the tips below. 1. Work with a professional. First, look for a professional design consultant with experience. A professional designer can answer many of your questions upfront, offer ideas you may not have thought of, and help you find economical solutions. 2. Look for a balance of design and functionality. Ask yourself if your kitchen functions well with the way you live. Cabinets with your most frequently used items should be located and arranged most conveniently, with items you don’t use everyday stored out of the way. The design and style of your cabinetry should also fit your own personal taste. 3. Know your style. Identification of your own personal decorative style is key to selecting the right look for your cabinets. By doing a little bit of style research ahead of time, you insure a final design that fits with your personal tastes and preferences. 4. Consider the surrounding area. Look for a type of wood and finish that will complement your other furnishings. For example, if your kitchen opens directly into a dining or living area, choose kitchen cabinetry that enhances the items in that room. 5. Ask about cabinet warranty. Find out how many years the warranty covers and which parts of the cabinetry the warranty covers. Reputable manufacturers will back their products with a solid warranty. 6. Examine cabinet construction. Compare the different types of cabinetry offered – stock, semi-custom and custom – and what kind of joints, hardware and support structures they are built with. Look at cabinets inside and out and consider how much wear-and-tear they’ll receive in your home. 7. Add Style Upgrades. Finishing touches can make a big difference in the look of the entire room. Rope moldings, glass doors and decorative hardware are just a few examples of upgrades that can add dramatic depth and character to your design.
