Kitchen Cabinets Speak Volumes About You
They're like magnets. Kitchens, that is. When people come to your home, where do they congregate? The kitchen, the place of comfort and congeniality. My brother even put an addition on his home just to expand his kitchen. Why? Because his family likes to have friends over, and a bigger kitchen could welcome a bigger "family."
If appliances are the heart of the kitchen, cabinets are the soul. We interact with appliances to house, prepare and clean our foods, and their cold steel and smooth ceramic surfaces serve us well. Yet it's the kitchen cabinets that define our kitchen and radiate personality. Cabinet surfaces can be clean white laminates, or simple paint in bright or subdued hues. Kitchen cabinets may use finishes to highlight natural grains, such as casual blondes in ash or maple, sturdy oaks from light to dark, or deep upscale woods like mahogany, rosewood or exotic teak. Your kitchen cabinets speak volumes about you to your guests.
Ah, the soul. Kitchen cabinets have even more to reveal. Inside, do you value the organization and attention to detail a corner Lazy Susan provides? Are smooth-running ball-bearing drawer glides a statement about your penchant for enjoying order in your life?
Kitchen cabinets sometimes conceal our preferences, too. Do we value the history of antiques and family heirlooms, carefully placed in our cabinets to ensure their preservation? Perhaps we have matched sets of everything, easily accessible and ready for use from our well-designed and installed cabinetry. Yes, thoughtfully consider the functionality of your kitchen cabinets, but also be sure to embrace the soul.
I encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings about what you want your kitchen cabinets to be for you. To get the most from your sizable investment, engage a professional kitchen designer early in the process. Your finished kitchens will inspire you and your guests to feel comfortable, at ease, and connected.
