Custom Kitchen Cabinetry Selection Guide

So you are ready for your dream kitchen. What things should you consider when designing and purchasing a new kitchen?

Cabinet construction and finishing can be difficult to understand without some research. This guide is to help ensure your new kitchen will be all you have dreamed about.

Quality

Not all cabinetry is created equal. Some things to consider when determining the quality of your kitchen are:

  • Warranty
  • Materials
  • Craftsmanship
  • Reputation of the manufacturer

Each Tedd Wood line of cabinetry is built with quality materials and craftsmanship. Download our cabinet line construction comparison flyer for more details on how each line is constructed.

Wood Species

The wood species you choose for your cabinetry can really change the look and feel of your kitchen. If you are using an enamel finish then the wood species is not as important as if you are planning on a stained finish. Stained finishes will allow the natural color and grain of the wood to show through. Stains are designed to enhance the natural beauty of wood. Another thing to consider is the hardness of the wood. For descriptions and images of the different wood species we offer for our custom cabinetry visit our wood species gallery.

Style

What is your style? Visit our Kitchen Style Options gallery to help you determine the look and feel you want for your kitchen. This can help inspire your creativity; making the possibilities endless. The style you prefer will help you choose your doorstyle and even your finish. You will also want to consider if framed cabinetry or full access cabinetry will suit your style best.
