The cabinets in a kitchen can drastically change its function, use and design. This impact is significant and can therefore make it difficult for owners to know what to consider when upgrading their cabinetry. A few key points that owners may wish to consider for a kitchen remodel to their Royal Oak home, are: additional lighting, glass insets, roll-out shelving, crown molding, paint, and hardware. If you are thinking of having the cabinets in your home upgraded, continue on to the article below for an outline of the most important things to consider.

Lighting

The lighting in a room can have a dramatic impact on how functional, bright, and appealing the space is. Therefore, adding additional lighting fixtures to enhance the cabinetry can be a terrific choice. Depending on the owner’s preferences, they will be able to pick from a number of designs that can seamlessly blend into the cabinets, ceiling or walls. Having this additional lighting allows people to easily see into every shelf on their cabinets, which will prevent them from losing items or wasting time having to locate them in dimly lit areas.

Glass Inserts

Another element that can enhance the appeal of the cabinets are glass inserts. Glass inserts are a decorative way for homeowners to upgrade the look of standard cabinetry to better suit their unique preferences. Further, people will be able to select the type of glass, color, style and pattern to match the other décor in the space. To determine the best type of glass that should be used, homeowners should ask a professional. Kitchen contractors will have all the latest knowledge about adding inserts to cabinets. A professional will be able to expertly guide homeowners through the options available, and recommend styles that will enhance the room. They will also be able to install the inserts without incident.

Roll-Out Shelving

It can be hard for owners to make use of the backs of their cabinets without rollout shelving. This unused space can cause disorganization, lost items, and wasted time. To prevent this struggle from impacting enjoyment of the room, it is recommended that owners add a roll-out feature to all of their cabinet units. This feature allows the drawer to be rolled outward towards the user with all of the items intact. This makes it easier for people to see into the shelf and grab items from it. All of these cabinet upgrades can pleasantly transform a kitchen. They will make the kitchen more usable and also more attractive. Homeowners in Royal Oak who are interested in kitchen remodeling are encouraged to get in touch with their local contractors for estimates on new lighting, shelves and glass inserts. These updates can turn a plain kitchen into a room that everyone enjoys.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
