Cabinets

When it comes to kitchen cabinets, texture is important. The color, grain, and smoothness of your cabinets will help define the character for the rest of the room. While everything should remain in a similar style, finding cabinets that contrast just right can make all the difference. Homeowners in Anaheim Hills are utilizing the styles and trends in the kitchen design industry and find gorgeous results. Now you may be wondering which style of kitchen cabinets in Anaheim Hills, CA is right for you. We have put together a list of some of our favorite cabinet textures and styles to help introduce you to some of the current options in the market.

Stainless Steel:

Stainless steel cabinets are becoming a new trend favored by those with a sleek and minimalist décor. The look is modern, and gives the impression of a professional grade kitchen. The steel is the perfect compliment to a black backdrop, or a polished white finish.

Reclaimed Wood:

If you are going for a more rustic feel in your home, reclaimed wood is the perfect texture choice. Reclaimed wood has a rough grain, and surprisingly enough is the perfect match to metal handles and countertops. This addition can easily keep a kitchen from coming off too cold, and adds a splash of old world character.

Oak:

Oak is your standard texture for kitchen cabinets, due mostly to its versatility and ability to blend in well with any style of kitchen. Oak looks particularly beautiful next to a polished marble countertop, and in kitchens that receive plenty of light.

Chicken Wire

The concept of chicken wire faced cabinets may seem odd, but the look is quickly catching on. Choose chicken wire cabinets if you are going for a rustic look, or a French countryside home. Also make sure that when using this design feature you are also going with a cabinet in a bold color such as grey or canary yellow.

Crown Molding

Crown molding on kitchen cabinets is the perfect accent in kitchens that aim for a more classical feeling. For this look, stick with polished white or oak cabinets, and contrast them with glass from cabinets. The crown molding look can be used throughout your kitchen, and can even be used on refrigerator doors.

Plastic

While this material may not be as durable as the others in this list, the variations in plastic cabinets are endless. Plastic countertops are a wonderful choice for adding a splash of color to your home, as there is such a wide variety of colors to choose from. They also give of a perfect polished look that goes well in modern style kitchens.

Kitchen cabinets can be quite an investment, so it’s important to be sure of what style you are going for before making your final purchase. Take the time to weigh the pros and cons of each texture, take proper measurements and decide on a layout that works best for your home.
