Spring is the time homeowners’ fantasy turns to new cabinets

Perhaps your annual spring-cleaning spree has you thinking, “Wow, this house would surely look a lot more inviting and inviting with some new cabinets.” Whether his redecorating dreams involve new kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, closet cabinets, storage cabinets, or all four types of cabinets, a DIY cabinet maker can make them come true… without breaking the bank.

The Evansville Courier & Press recently published an article titled “Discover the decorating style that suits both your family and your home.” The premise of the article focused on keeping the style of your home in mind when choosing a new decorating scheme. That advice extends to the realm of new cabinets, where DIY options are not only affordable, but also surprisingly versatile.

The newspaper notes that “identifying the right design style for your home can be tricky: You have to consider everything from corners to color, and still keep in mind that it has to fit your family’s lifestyle.”

A DIY cabinet maker that offers a wide variety of assembled and ready-to-assemble cabinet styles can help you in your search for the perfect cabinet redesign. That cabinet maker can also offer advice on buying cabinets and designing your new room.

According to the Evansville Courier & Press, the first step in selecting the right cabinet design style is to look at which of the following categories your home falls into:

1. For Victorian homes, the newspaper expert recommends: “Cabinets often have a weathered look and are made of heavy, real wood with chrome handles and knobs.” Champagne oak and natural rustic walnut are good cabinet style finishes for a Victorian homeowner.

2. Recent designs for the modern home “include sleek, straight, clean lines. Common materials include stainless steel, marble, granite, and frosted glass.” Fenwick Arctic Light, Kenton White Gloss and Sutherland door styles are best suited for the modern home.

3. The Southwestern home “has a lot of detail and craftsmanship. Natural materials like wood, quarry tile, ceramic tile, earth tones and vibrant accessories” are common in this style of home. Cider, Bay and Burl Gloss door styles reflect the tones of desert nature often seen in Southwestern decorating schemes.

4. Traditional home styles have a formal feel with “dark stains, honey tones, semi-opaque paint, and oak cabinetry.” Nile Gloss, Burgundy and Ruxton Brown cabinet door color finishes highlight the features of the traditional home.

5. The rustic, weathered look is a hallmark of the farmhouse. To create “a warm and inviting feel,” try colors that “range from muted tones to earth tones.” Pine paneling is another element used to express the Country style. Westbrook, Glendale, Avalon and Wadsworth door styles give you that paneled look.

6. Homeowners whose style runs in the eclectic range tend to mix “both old and new for a harmonious look.” This style is “a mixture of extravagant decorations from numerous eras”. Gatsby door panels with a cream finish provide the eclectic homeowner with the perfect mix of old and new.
