Remodeling your kitchen can be a lot of fun, but it can also get a little confusing when you dive in without a survival plan. Before you start making decisions, there are many other things to check off the list – gathering ideas, establishing your needs, wants and desires, setting your budget, finding a trustworthy professional, gathering quotes and more. It’s enough to make your head spin if you’re not ready for it all.

Sometimes it is hard to make a decision between one cabinet finish and another – luckily it’s not always necessary to eliminate either one. Two toned cabinets have a way of working wonders in kitchens, and they can serve many purposes.

Make them work in your space

There are many ways to make multiple cabinet finishes work together in one space. Here are a few places people use them:

• Kitchen island cabinets can act as a focal point
• Base cabinets to “ground” the room and draw the eye down
• Wall cabinets to accent architecture and draw the eye upward

When looked at as a whole, a kitchen remodel can seem quite overwhelming – but, as with any other large project, it pays to break it apart into smaller chunks.

Two heads are better than one in many cases; but two butting heads will cause headaches. When it comes to remodeling, it can be tough to make your own choices, let alone taking into account those wishes of your significant other. What if you both want different things?

Typical complaints designers hear when someone starts their remodeling project is that the cabinets are dated, countertop space is limited, and even appliances needing an update.   All of those being great reason for a remodel, it’s also important to think about your hardware options. Very seldom do we hear, “the hardware has got to go.” The truth is, if you’re looking for an updated appearance at a fraction of the cost, new hardware is worth looking into.

It’s not always the perfect time to take on a huge renovation that drains cash stores and wares on your nerves. Sometimes it’s just better to make small updates in your kitchen that will allow you to feel like you have a new space, without the task of actually managing a huge remodel. When it comes down to it, smaller updates can truly save you money and still give you a return on the investment you do make.
