Cabinets for a More Functional and Beautiful Home

Cabinet Colors and Finishes

Color and finish can have a significant impact on how cabinetry looks within a room. Natural wood stains can highlight the character and grain of the material, while painted finishes can create a more uniform appearance.

Fredericks Floorcovering offers cabinetry with options ranging from rich wood stains to premium glazes and other finishes.

Consider how your cabinet finish will coordinate with:

• Countertops
• Flooring
• Backsplash tile
• Wall colors
• Appliances
• Cabinet hardware

Samples can be especially helpful when making these decisions because colors can look different depending on the surrounding materials and lighting.

Cabinets Designed Around How You Use the Space

Good cabinetry should support the way you use a room. In a kitchen, that means considering where dishes, cookware, small appliances, food, and other everyday items will be stored.

Cabinet planning can also help address less obvious storage needs. Depending on the project, cabinetry can be used to create organized storage in areas such as entertainment spaces and other rooms throughout the home.

Before choosing cabinet configurations, think about what you currently use most often and what tends to create clutter. This can help you prioritize accessible storage and make better use of available space.

Cabinets and Countertops Work Together

Cabinetry and countertops are closely connected, both visually and functionally. Choosing them together can make it easier to create a balanced design.

A more distinctive countertop can be paired with understated cabinetry, while detailed cabinetry may work better with a quieter countertop surface. Flooring and backsplash tile can then provide additional layers of color and texture.

Fredericks Floorcovering also offers countertop surfaces, including granite, engineered stone, and tile, and its team can assist with choosing styles and colors that work with your cabinetry.

Creating a Cohesive Kitchen Design

A successful kitchen design usually comes from considering the major elements together rather than making every decision separately.

Think about the relationship between your:

Cabinets - Set the foundation for storage and much of the room's visual style.

Countertops - Add another prominent surface and can introduce contrast, pattern, or texture.

Flooring - Creates a visual foundation and should coordinate with the cabinets without necessarily matching them.

Hardware and Finishing Details - Can reinforce the overall design and add smaller touches of contrast or continuity.

Looking at these elements together can help prevent the finished room from feeling visually disconnected.

Cabinetry for More Than Just the Kitchen

Although kitchens are one of the most common applications for cabinetry, custom cabinet planning can also support other areas of the home.

Fredericks Floorcovering specifically highlights cabinetry for dream kitchens and stylish entertainment centers. The company's team can help homeowners develop a cabinet plan around the goals and possibilities of the space.
