If you’re looking to renovate your kitchen, new kitchen cupboards are the perfect place to start.
Why Kitchen Cupboards Matter?
Kitchen cupboards make up the majority of your kitchen design and are therefore a big investment. Not only will they showcase your interior style, but they also impact the functionality of your kitchen. Good quality kitchen cupboards will improve storage, reduce clutter, and make your everyday life easier.
Whether you prefer an affordable modern style or classic shaker cabinetry, updating your kitchen cupboards will make your new kitchen come to life.
What Makes a High Quality Kitchen Cupboard?
Not all kitchen cupboards are created equal for durability. Make sure the focus is on delivering long-lasting quality when comparing products. Here’s what’s important:
• Durable Materials: All cupboards start with a basic box without a front. This is called a carcass and should be constructed from high-density moisture-resistant board (HMR) as a standard. This is ideal for the demands of a busy kitchen. HMR board resists swelling, warping, and deterioration from everyday use.
• Strong Cupboard Support: Using metal drawer sides to add structural every day use, even when cupboards are heavily loaded is key.
• Soft-Close Hardware: Cupboard doors and drawers should come with soft-close hinges to ensure smooth operation and prevents wear and tear over time.
• Cupboard Finishes: Good quality finishes should be used for ease of cleaning and stain-resistant so they will maintain their look for everyday use.
Variety of Cupboard Solutions
Offering a wide range of kitchen cupboards that can be designed to suit your needs and layout is paramount. From U-shaped and L-shaped kitchens to galley and open-plan designs, you need to ensure the design will be the perfect fit for your space.
Most Kitchen cupboards come in a variety of finishes and colours, including styles like white, timber grain, and on-trend green. To explore kitchen cupboard solutions check out this U-Shaped Kitchen Renovation and discover how cupboard placement can impact functionality.
Budget Friendly Kitchen Cupboards
You don’t want to spend a fortune on kitchen cupboards while there is still benchtops, splashback and more to fit into your budget. Therefore, keep in mind both function and budget when designing your space. Kitchen Cupboards range from:
• Overhead cupboards to maximise space
• Base cupboards for storing heavier items like pots and pans
• Appliance cupboards to keep benchtops free of clutter and mess (can be more expensive due to track system)
• Pantry cupboards for storing food items, (cost will depend on size of pantry), and
• Accessories like pull out Spice racks for easy reach when cooking.
Kitchen cupboards can also be designed with internal drawers, corner cupboard solutions and pull out bins to suit individual customer needs. These will all vary in cost but will assist to make your space function well.
