Perhaps your annual spring-cleaning frenzy has you thinking, “Wow, this house sure would look so much more inviting and tempting with some new cabinets.” Whether his redecoration dreams involve new kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, closet cabinets, storage cabinets, or all four types of cabinets, a DIY cabinet maker can make them a reality… without breaking the bank.
The Evansville Courier & Press recently published an article titled “Discover the decorating style that fits both your family and your home.” The premise of the article focused on taking into account the style of your home when choosing a new decorating scheme. That advice extends to the realm of new cabinets, where DIY options are not only affordable, but surprisingly versatile, too.
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 needs to fit your family’s lifestyle.”
A do-it-yourself 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. Said cabinet maker can also offer advice on how to shop for cabinets and how to style 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 pulls 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, and 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 to the modern home.
3. The Southwestern home “features 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 wilderness tones of the desert often seen in Southwestern decorating schemes.
4. Traditional home styles have a formal vibe with “dark stains, honey tones, semi-opaque paint, and oak cabinets.” Nile Gloss, Burgundy and Ruxton Brown cabinet door color finishes highlight traditional home characteristics.
5. The rustic, worn look is a hallmark of the farmhouse. To create “a warm and cozy feeling,” try colors that “range from muted to earth tones.” Pine paneling is another element that is used to express the Country style. Westbrook, Glendale, Avalon and Wadsworth door styles give you that paneled look.
6. Homeowners whose style runs the gamut tend to blend “both old and new for a harmonious look.” This style is “a mix of extravagant decorations from numerous eras.” Gatsby door panels in a cream finish provide the eclectic homeowner with the perfect mix of antique and contemporary.
