Kitchen cabinets are supposed to be functional, but you can’t leave it at that. Otherwise cardboard boxes would suffice. No, your cabinets should also be durable and beautiful—part of what makes a simple house in Fullerton, CA into a home. Most homeowners spend a large portion of their time in the kitchen. For this reason, choosing the right Fullerton, CA kitchen cabinets is a big decision. Fortunately, you have endless options to create a fresh, functional space. Here are just a few possibilities we offer at Kitchen Cabinets & Beyond.
Sizing
Stock cabinets are set at increments of 3 inches. Standard wall cabinets are 12 inches deep and 32 inches tall. But customized cabinets come in all shapes and sizes. You can build cabinets all the way to the ceiling for extra storage and a clean look. Or you can customize the height of base cabinets if you are taller than average and don’t want to bend over all the time.
Finishing
The type of finish you choose will determine much of the cost of new cabinets. Partial board cabinets with laminate finishes are at the low end. More exotic solid woods with stains or glazes are on the high end. And wood cabinets with acrylic paint finishes often fall in the middle. The manufactures and installers will determine the type of colors and finishes you can consider.
Orientation
You might not pay much attention to which way your cabinets open, but it is something installers take seriously. Functionality is important to consider when it comes to cabinet orientation. Typically, end cabinets open towards the wall, but there are times when determining proper cabinet orientation gets tricky. For example, cabinets around the fridge should not conflict with the clear swing of the fridge door. You also want easy access from the dishwasher to the cabinets where you store your dishes.
Detailing
When choosing cabinets you also have to think about style. A basic cabinet is simply a flat panel, but you can chose cabinets with added molding or panels. Shaker style has a flat center panel placed inside a frame. You can also choose louvered, inset, bead board, or completely customize if you can’t find what you are looking for.
Exterior Hardware
Knobs and pulls? You have endless possibilities. You will want to find something you like that is sensible, easy to clean, and will work well with your appliances. Materials range from glossy chrome to brushed nickel and everything in between. These small accents can have a large impact. They are also easy to change if you want to shake up the appearance of your kitchen without spending a lot of money.
Interior Hardware
Though mostly unseen, do not scrimp on interior hardware. The hinges keep your doors aligned and do the brunt of the work. And now you can get soft close options. These not only save your kitchen cabinets from excessive damage, but also protect precious little fingers.
Interior Fittings
You will hardly ever hear anyone complain about having too much cabinet space. Interior fittings make your cabinets even more useful. You can choose carousels, roll out shelves, racks, and any number of appliances to get the most out of your storage space.
