If you're remodeling a kitchen or a bathroom, you may be looking for new cabinets. According to IBISWorld, as of 2023, the market size of the cabinet and vanity manufacturing industry was roughly $17.1 billion in terms of revenue. Many homeowners find themselves torn between wanting high-quality vs. nice-looking cabinets. Fortunately, you can have it all with a great cabinet design. Read on to learn more about how to achieve both.

Look For High-Quality Materials

If you're looking for quality cabinets, you need to search for high-quality materials. These types of items can be made with many different items, including particle board, MDF board, metal, wood, and vinyl. While each material has its unique pros and cons, as a general rule of thumb, solid wood is considered to be the gold standard in terms of quality and appearance. Cabinets made with solid wood are long-lasting and durable. They can also be painted or re-stained, helping to give them a facelift when the time comes.

Pay Attention to the Metal for Glides

Another important feature to look for to help you balance appearance and quality is the glides on the drawers. This may not seem like a huge deal, but having steel glides is important. Steel helps to support a lot of weight, which ultimately, helps to ensure that your drawers look level and straight, even as the cabinets and drawers start to age. This improves their overall appearance and functionality.

Search for Meaningful Details

Lastly, you want to take the time to search for meaningful details. Small details often greatly affect the appearance of your cabinets. Look for features such as beveling, color, handles, and pulls. Looking for or adding meaningful details during the cabinet design process can help to ensure that they not only meet your quality expectations but your appearance goals as well.

Cabinets take up a lot of space in your kitchen and bathroom. They also play a huge role in the overall function of the space. As such, you want to have both an outstanding cabinet appearance and a quality design.
