Remodeling: A Home That's as Good as New

If you want a new kitchen, you might be thinking about doing a full remodel and replacing cabinets and counters. Although many people are tempted to invest in ready to assemble, or RTA, cabinets from big-box stores, it can pay to invest in custom cabinets. Here are three reasons to invest in custom kitchen cabinets and why you won't regret the upgrade. 

1. More Storage Space

One of the big differences between custom cabinets and other varieties is the fact that custom cabinets are designed to reach from their normal spot on the wall clear up to the ceiling. In addition to looking a lot better, this allows for much more cabinet space, making it possible to store everything you need. More storage space could also mean a cleaner, more organized kitchen, which could help you to enjoy the area more. 

2. Improved Aesthetics

Since custom cabinets are made specifically for your kitchen, they typically look a lot better than other varieties. Custom cabinets can be designed to match the exact specifications of your kitchen, creating a more open area. Everything from the color to the crown molding can be completely customized, making it possible to create a kitchen that truly is one-of-a-kind. 

When you think through the aesthetics of your kitchen area, think carefully about what colors and patterns you want to incorporate into your kitchen. Try to choose colors and hardware styles that will seem in fashion for many years to come. Additionally, be mindful of additions like backsplashes and counter color stone preferences before you select your cabinet colors. 

3. Higher Value to Prospective Buyers 

If you ever decide to list your place for sale, the details will matter. While many buyers appreciate the fact that you have invested in a kitchen remodel, choosing high-end materials such as custom cabinetry could lead to higher offers, which can be very beneficial to your bottom line. Think very carefully about how long you plan to live in your home, and then think about investing in custom cabinetry — especially if you want to earn top dollar when you place your home on the market. 

Remodeling your kitchen can be incredibly exciting and interesting, so don't hesitate to reach out to professionals to talk about updating your space. Before you start a kitchen remodeling job, think carefully about your personal sense of style, what you want out of the upgrade, and how to incorporate your list of must-haves into the project. By doing everything you can to customize your space, you can enjoy a more beautiful home.
