The type of cabinets you choose for your home has a huge effect
on the overall decor of the kitchen or bathroom. They are the most visible
part of the room and need to meet both aesthetic and practical needs. Luckily
there are a huge range of cabinets available, from incredibly elaborate and
decorative to simple and clean. Let’s take a look at some of the most
popular:
Louvered
This type of cabinet
is most recognizable thanks to its horizontal slats. The main advantage of
these cabinets is they provide ventilation thanks to their shape, as well as
adding a element of texture. Thank to their design they make a great choice
for any area that need air, such as cabinets near radiators or
dryers.
Flat
Flat cabinets are the last
word in modernism. Sleek and stylish, they come in a wide array of laminates
or wood with different finishes. They’re on the more affordable end of the
budget, and work well with industrial and contemporary
decor.
Shaker
A very popular cabinet
choice, this classic design is suitable for a whole range of different
budgets. The great thing about the shaker cabinet is it matches many
different types of decor from modern to traditional, and comes in just about
every material and color you can think of. Using a natural finish can really
complement a classic, country
kitchen.
Beadboard
A perfect cabinet
for those who adore cottage chic, beadboard cabinets are a beautiful feature
with a bright and informal feel. The center of this type of cabinet is made
with individual panels which, although difficult to clean, look
divine.
Inset
On the more expensive
side of our scale, inset cabinets are lovingly made with longevity in mind.
They fit very precisely in their frames, with minimals spacing and gaps in
comparison to other cabinets. Insets come in range of colors and finishes,
which add to the overall elegance of this classic
design.
Distressed
Finally we come to
distressed – a growing trend in the cabinet world. You can pick up this type
of cabinet from many manufacturers, who rub the corners and gently sand away
the finish of the doors and drawers to imitate a vintage aesthetic.
