Kitchen cabinets are a major investment so homeowners should sort through the various options available to them so they can make their choice with confidence, according to a report.New cabinets give the freedom to explore different layout possibilities in the kitchen, Home and Garden Television (HGTV) states, before giving its advice on choosing the furniture.HGTV says custom cabinets can be built to exact specifications and offer endless options with regard to materials, designs, finishes and accessories, while stock cabinets are the least expensive and come pre-made in standard sizes.Speaking to the news provider Jeff Cannata, a former president of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), comments Eight out of ten kitchens could probably be done with stock cabinetry.And what I mean by that is a good designer can design with any line.HGTV advises homeowners to evaluate the quality of hinges, doors, drawer systems and finish, no matter which type of cabinet they choose.Research published by the NKBA this month shows that most consumers opt for a traditional style for their kitchen.
