KITCHEN CABINET MATERIALS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have an idea on what type of kitchen you are going for, it\u2019s time to consider the materials. Because the kitchen is the most used area of the house, it is only natural that you will invest in good quality materials in creating your <strong>kitchen cabinet design<\/strong>.\u00a0 You would want materials that will ensure that they will last longer and can withstand both moisture and heat.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Laminate boards<\/u><\/strong> are one of the most commonly used materials in making kitchen cabinets they are the most inexpensive choice and can come in a wide array of color and finish options. They come readily available with many suppliers providing them. However, one needs to be careful of spillage. If the laminates are not properly heat sealed during installation, chances are the boards will slowly disintegrate.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Woods<\/u><\/strong> are also a good material as they are built to last and are quite durable. Popular wood species for kitchens include mahogany, maple, and teak, beech wood, oak and even walnuts. The use of wood gives you many options and combinations to try. However, depending on the wood, it can also be quite expensive.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Lacquer boards<\/u><\/strong> are new to the kitchen scene, but they already are favored due to its sleek and smooth look. Like the laminate boards, it comes in a variety of finishes and colors and is quite easy to maintain and clean. However, just like wood it can also be quite expensive and rarely comes in wood grain options.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Steel<\/u><\/strong> is also a good material as it is durable and can be antibacterial. They are usually built in commercial kitchens since it can handle heavy usage, but can also be in hdb houses, especially if you favor a more modern masculine look. However, they are limited in design options and is not as versatile as the other materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Granite<\/u><\/strong> is quite good for kitchen countertops, especially for modern luxurious kitchens. Granite stone slabs come in various colors ranging from black to light brown and is quite easy to maintain and clean. It can withstand heat and moisture and is scratch resistant. However, granite slabs are also quite expensive and tricky to mount. You will need to hire professionals who can easily and carefully mount the slab.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-14-at-1.55.11-PM-1200x813.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-14-at-1.55.11-PM-1200x813.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-14-at-1.55.11-PM-300x203.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-14-at-1.55.11-PM-150x102.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-14-at-1.55.11-PM.jpeg 1280w\" alt=\"223-Lorong-8-Toapayoh-8\" width=\"1200\" height=\"813\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-1-1200x800.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"Bidadari-Park-Drive-2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_STORAGE_IS_PREMIUM\"><\/span>4. STORAGE IS PREMIUM!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If there is a universal truth of sorts, its\u2019s the fact that the kitchen has more utensils, tools and appliances than any other area of the house. Therefore, one must never take storage for granted. Apart from making the cabinets and shelves, take into consideration even the small niches.<\/p>\n<p>Overhead cabinets are perfect for your plates, bowls and other table wares. But if you would like full maximum storage, consider having tall, cabinet units incorporated in the design. These can make for good pantries and it can further be enhanced with storage mechanism like pull out trays, baskets and even rotating carousel trays.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from your standard swing door cabinets, consider also having drawers to keep your utensils and cutlery organized. To make it even more unique, have specialized compartments made for the drawers. That way, your utensils and silverware can be organized in a neat manner.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of baskets, consider having built in trash bins in one of the bottom cabinets instead of having the trash bin out in the open. For the cabinet with the sink, have some shelf compartments made so that you can store and organize your cleaning supplies.<\/p>\n<p>If you will employ the L shape kitchen layout, you will notice that the corner tends to be a wasted or dead space. Take full advantage of the space by employing rotating carousel trays that maximize the once wasted space. If you have a narrow space in your wall, you can use a full pull out shelf tray for either condiments, sauces or even pastas.<\/p>\n<p>You can even add more space by creating a foldable countertop that disappears into one of the cabinets when not in use .The only limit in making your <strong>kitchen cabinet design<\/strong> is your imagination.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-03-18-at-11.18.31-AM-1-1200x802.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-03-18-at-11.18.31-AM-1-1200x802.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-03-18-at-11.18.31-AM-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-03-18-at-11.18.31-AM-1-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-03-18-at-11.18.31-AM-1.jpeg 1280w\" alt=\"191A-Rivervale-Drive-1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"802\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_LIGHTING\"><\/span>5. LIGHTING<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally and perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weiken.com\/lighting-for-wall\/\">the most important thing to consider is the lighting<\/a>. Especially when you are cutting ingredients or cooking a full meal. It is important to have ample and suitable lighting that not only aids in your task, but also completes the look of your hdb kitchen. Cove or recessed lightings are quite popular, especially if you have tall ceilings. This kind of lighting can make your kitchen look bright and warm. For a modern ambiance, opt for bulbs that give off a bright daylight look and for a cozier feel, go for bulbs that give off a warm white feel.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re employing the L- shape kitchen or island kitchen, try hanging drop pendant lights over one section of the kitchen. This will highlight your intended focal point; especially if the section is a bar or breakfast nook.<\/p>\n<p>A really unique and functional idea is to have built in lights under your overhead cabinets. That way, when you work, you have light directed towards your work space.
