Kitchens are more than where we cook; they’re where we make memories. Your kitchen cabinets, therefore, should make your kitchen a seamless extension of your life. The kitchen cabinetry should be attractive, durable, and hardworking. Design trends come and go, but quality materials and elegant styles are always smart.  At Merrell Building, we have a wide range of options to offer. No matter the budget, we have options with an extensive array of door styles and finish options.

In a full kitchen renovation project, new kitchen cabinets represent your most significant investment. So, you want to get this purchase right.

The Beauty of Wood

Natural wood cabinetry has a unique appearance because of the natural qualities of the wood. Even trees of the same species growing together can be affected differently by the weather and soil. The wood also absorbs nutrients in various ways and speeds, even within the same tree. These factors combine to create natural wood’s distinct characteristics, like different grain patterns, varied colors, and distinct markings. These variations are considered natural traits and not defects. Clear or natural wood finishes show the natural beauty of the wood’s grain and color, while opaque finishes provide greater consistency by hiding the natural variations. Each cabinet may or may not show the natural characteristics described above.

Caring for Your Kitchen Cabinets

When it comes to keeping your cabinets clean, you have a few options. You could opt for commercial cleaners, such as Murphy’s Oil Soap, specifically designed for the task. Alternatively, you can create your own cleaning solutions using eco-friendly and affordable ingredients found in your kitchen. Whichever method you choose, following the Cabinetry Care Guide is important to ensure your cabinets stay beautiful and functional for years. With some care and attention, your new kitchen cabinetry will remain an enjoyable and attractive feature of your home.
