When it comes to renovating your home, there’s no room more costly or labor-intensive than the kitchen. That’s why forward planning is essential if you want the heart of your home to pair style with functionality and last for at least a decade to come. Inevitably, though, there are some common pitfalls we tend to make during the remodeling process, and knowing what they are is crucial if you want to avoid making the same mistakes.
Make sure you don’t make mistake number 5!
Hardware in a kitchen will be quite possibly, the final decision you make and could make or break your overall design style, but the big question designers get asked is ‘should I use handles or knobs on kitchen cabinets?’
There’s something about gray. It’s just the right combination of moody, bold, and chic. It’s a neutral that’s not boring. If your kitchen cabinets could use an upgrade, go for something that’s transitional, clean, and bright. Gray is the go-to, and these examples prove it.
Often defined and characterized by their foundation of white cabinetry, a white kitchen’s impartial palette gives it a go-with-anything neutrality that can serve as a backdrop for the introduction of color and personality via other design elements. However, when combined with an abundance of white elements, especially countertops and backsplashes, white kitchens can turn into a monochromatic sea of sameness.
Function and beauty are good reasons to love knobs. Kitchens get messy daily, and preventing that mess from ending up on your cabinet surface is important for its longevity. Knobs and pulls help to protect your cabinet finish, because you are not transferring the oils on your fingers to the cabinet fronts.
