A kitchen remodel can change the feel and function of your home, but often homeowners are fearful of the price tag. Here are some suggestions to help lower the cost of your cabinets.
Kitchen cabinet price variance hinges on wood type, finish and function; but when faced with the decision to keep the kitchen the same or spruce it up for better living, budget tight homeowners seek affordable, do-it-yourself, options. When asked what our preferred “store bought” kitchen cabinet brand is, we of course prefer Cutting Edge Custom Cabinets because:
- They come assembled in segments and not modular units. This makes the cabinet stronger.
- They do not use filler panels to make up space and/or support the cabinet infringing on the storage space and cabinet function.
- They can be created to fit any kitchen and provide any function, including wine racks, pull-our pantry, spice racks, etc..
However, store bought cabinets can lower your price (in some cases) by a few thousand dollars and make the difference between remodeling or not remodeling.
We prefer IKEA cabinets over the big box store cabinets because they have a large selection of cabinet styles easy on the budget. Styles like solid wood, or particle wood, to sustainable woods. Plus IKEA has the European flare for small, multi-function purpose: so if your kitchen area is small to begin with, IKEA cabinet often serve multiple functions.
Your kitchen is often the most used space in your home. The cabinets you use should be designed to last and be convenient to your life style preferences.
