4 Advantages for Homeowners Who Invest in Quality Kitchen Cabinets

Are you a homeowner considering a kitchen remodel but unsure of where to allocate your hard-earned money?

As an interior designer ‘spend & save’ form pillar conversations with many of my clients on any type of budget. The visibility of choice and reason creates certainty and confidence in their selections.

While the internet is filled with information on saving money when it comes to kitchen cabinetry, there's less discussion about why investing in quality cabinets might be the right choice for you.

That's why in this article, I will share four significant advantages that you can gain by investing in quality kitchen cabinets. By the end of this read, you will be equipped to determine whether investing in high-quality cabinets aligns with your renovation goals.

Advantage #1: Superior Durability

Durable cabinets offer homeowners low overheads in repair and maintenance costs, maintain physical appearance and retain high performance. Durability is the epitome of efficiency.

High-end cabinetry is constructed using the best quality materials and hardware available. This includes many details, from the veneer, the internal materials, glues, paints, joinery details, and the list goes on. Quality in all these details ensures strong withstanding to daily usage. 

In contrast, low-end cabinetry is constructed with low-grade materials, glues and hardware that easily break or become misaligned over time. 

If you are seeking strong durability and low maintenance, then investing in quality kitchen cabinetry may be a good fit for you.

Advantage #2: Tailored Storage Solutions

“More storage” is the first request out of every kitchen renovator's mouth; high-quality cabinetry typically offers a greater diversity of storage solutions designed specifically to your requirements.

It is true that most kitchens offer a good range today, but for kitchens tight on storage high-quality cabinetry offers gain-kicker drawers, to-ceiling overhead cupboards, customised pantry layouts, built-in dividers,  specialised compartments all incorporated to suit your lifestyle and storage needs. 

Storage solutions are thought through, planned specifically for your space, and functional seamlessly, saving you time collecting items for cooking, and energy looking for the things otherwise buried at the back of the cupboard.

Advantage #3: Aesthetics and Unique Expression

A functional kitchen that's ugly is not one any of us jumps up to cook in. Aesthetics play a huge role in how we feel about cooking, what we eat, and how we entertain.

Investing in customisable kitchen cabinets enables you to express your individuality and create a kitchen space that reflects your personal style. From the material finish to the joinery details, cabinetry is the focal point of a kitchen you can infuse your personality into every aspect of your cabinetry design. A genuine quality cabinet adds elegance and sophistication to a space, ages really well and often increases resale value; whereas low-quality cabinets look cheap and unattractive within years of installation.

If the way your kitchen looks to your and your guest matters, then investing in quality cabinetry is a must.

Advantage #4: Customisation

Customisation is the theme of quality cabinetry. 

From needing specific solutions, impairment needs or accessibility, catering to height or health requirements, falling in love with design features or struggling with an unusual or unique-shaped space, custom cabinetry offers you endless possibilities to seamless solutions.

How you want it, is how it can be. Exactly & Seamlessly.

This level of detail is something that modular kitchens simply can’t offer. 

The secret benefit no one thinks of….

It’s the quality and reliability of trades that come with quality cabinetry.

These trade specialists are passionate, highly skilled craftsmen, often in cabinetry making and working with fine materials. 

Craftspersons take great care and pride in their work, and they’re going to carefully plan, think through and perfect the cabinetry, working alongside you and your design team, leaving nothing up for change. In this way, investing in quality kitchen cabinetry is not only offering you the long-term benefits of the products but also the calm, efficient and reliable build team who will keep your project on time.

So by considering these 4 + benefits of quality cabinetry in your home renovation, you will be able to determine if investing in quality cabinets will serve your family's needs and renovation goals.
