What is the best cabinet material for durability?

Q:
Can I fit an island in my kitchen?
A:
It depends on the size and layout of your kitchen. Ideally, you need at least 3-4 feet of space around the island for proper clearance and movement. Our design team can assess your kitchen’s dimensions to determine whether an island will fit comfortably and suggest options like a peninsula or a smaller island if space is limited.

How do I maintain my cabinets over time?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap is all you need. Avoid harsh chemicals, and ensure spills are wiped up immediately to preserve the finish.
Q:
How long does it take to design and install cabinets?
A:
The design process typically takes a few days, depending on the complexity. Once the design is finalized, cabinet production can take 2-4 weeks. Installation is scheduled after delivery and usually takes 6-8 weeks, depending on the project size.
Q:
What are raised-panel and recessed-panel cabinet doors?
A:
Raised-Panel Doors: Have a center panel that is raised above the surrounding frame, giving a more traditional, ornate look.
Recessed-Panel Doors (Shaker): Have a flat, recessed center panel with a simple, clean frame, ideal for modern and transitional styles.
Q:
How do I add a unique touch to my cabinets?
A:
Consider a unique backsplash tile, decorative glass inserts, or distinctive hardware to make your cabinets stand out. Adding a decorative hood in an accent color can also elevate the look.
Q:
Can I mix and match cabinet colors?
A:
Absolutely! Two-tone kitchens are very popular, especially with wood-tone island cabinets paired with painted perimeter cabinets. We often see clients opting for contrasting colors such as black, navy, or green islands with white or light gray main cabinets.
