When choosing a new kitchen cabinet the two things that come to mind typically are color and style. While both of those are extremely important in the overall look of the kitchen, many homeowners fail to consider all their kitchen cabinet finish options. Do you want a matte or glossy finish? Or have you considered a glazed, antiqued, or distressed look? There is so much more than choosing just the color and door style of a cabinet. The finish you choose for your custom cabinets can give a completely different look and outcome.
Cabinet Finish Tips and Advice
- See the cabinet finishes in person. What something looks like online can often be very different than what it really looks like in person.
- Explore the pros of cons of different cabinet finishes. Some finishes can be higher maintenance and show their wear and tear more easily.
- Consider the style of cabinets. Not all finishes go with a certain style of cabinet. If you have a decorative door style you may want to go with a more simple finish so they don’t compete.
- If want a particular countertop choose that first and then a finish that will compliment it.
- Take into consideration other things such as backsplash, wall color, lighting fixtures and flooring. All of these will impact the look of the finish you choose.
