Kitchen Remodel

Challenges: The challenges with this project were working with not only the small space, but two doorways, one offset window, and a walkway to the rest of the home.

Solutions: Using a tall pantry with roll trays on one side of the refrigerator and a panel on the other elevated this wall to have a custom built in look.

Other elements brought into the kitchen to maximize storage and elevate the space to a custom feel were: a blind magic corner, pull-out utensil organizer, cutlery divider in the drawer unit, maximizing space over the range with built in shelves/low profile blower, and a spice pull down wall cabinet. While this kitchen had space challenges, the client was open to exploring all the options and had fabulous ideas. An unique element that coalesced the kitchen was the tile. The Naval color from Showplace was the perfect match and was the “happy” blue the client wanted to feel.

Best Paint Finish for Bathrooms - Designing Idea

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 18:32:14 GMT

Best Paint Finish for Bathrooms

By Designing Idea.com

When it comes to home bathroom ideas and improvements, one of the most important things to consider aside from the bathroom paint color is the paint finish. Paint can provide aesthetic appeal, but other vital factors are important like its durability and how much it can control troublesome moisture problems.

The Best Bathroom Paint Finish

It’s extremely important to take note of the following factors when it comes to choosing the best paint finish for your bathroom.

Mildew or mold-resistant – Mildew and mold build-ups normally thrive in the bathroom because of its humid and moist environment. While paints do not completely prevent them from building up, some are highly mold-resistant.
Washable – If you don’t want to find yourself scrubbing your bathroom walls regularly, choose a paint finish that is highly resistant to dust, dirt. and grease.
Durable – Regularly cleaning your bathroom walls may cause some paint to dull after some time. So in the long run, long-lasting paint finishes are actually more cost-effective than your regular paint finishes.

Types of Paint Finishes for the Bathroom

With a variety of paint finishes available on the market, homeowners often agonize over the best one to choose, especially for one of the most essential areas of the house, which is the bathroom. Here are the different types of paint finishes including their respective pros and cons, to help you decide which is the best type for your bathroom.

Flat Finish

As the name suggests, flat paint finish has no sheen. Because of its lack of reflection, the paint pigment seeps through thoroughly, resulting in a flawless finish. So if you want to hide any cracks or flaws on your bathroom walls, this type of finish will suit your preference. Its lack of luster, however, makes it more prone to molds and mildew. Plus, they are very difficult to clean, and regular scrubbing can affect the finish. Because of this, a flat finish is actually not highly recommended for the bathroom interior. However, if you really insist on a flat finish, there’s a premium version that works well for humid conditions.

Satin Finish

Satin finish is often confused with eggshell paint finish because of their striking similarity. However, as opposed to eggshell which has a low luster quality, satin paint finish has a noticeable dull shine. Just like a flat paint finish, satin hides imperfections and flaws on your walls exceptionally well. Moreover, its soft shine creates a luxurious illusion of a flawless, even surface. Satin paint is durable and easy to clean, so it’s perfect for places that need regular maintenance and cleaning, including the bathroom. Nonetheless, it works best for bathrooms with low moisture and humidity.

Eggshell Finish

Eggshell finish, like mentioned above, is nearly shine-free. Unlike the flat finish, eggshell is more durable and easier to clean. Because it slightly reflects light, it beautifully casts a soft glow to the surface. Eggshell finish is often used to paint hallways or living rooms, which creates a naturally stylish and elegant effect on these spaces. Just like the satin finish, eggshell is best suited for bathrooms without a lot of moisture and humidity.

Semi-gloss Finish

Semi-gloss has a higher sheen quality than satin paint because it has more resins and binders. Because of this, a semi-gloss finish has a tighter molecular structure than flat or satin paint.

What does it mean for your bathroom? The glossier it is, the easier it is to clean. A glossy finish makes your bathroom more moisture-repellent, preventing molds and mildew from building up on your bathroom wall. Semi-gloss is also durable and can withstand heavy scrubbing.

Because of this, semi-gloss is usually the most recommended paint finish for bathrooms, especially if you have a humid bathroom.

High Gloss Finish A high gloss finish is the most durable and the easiest to clean. However, while it is the most perfect choice for your bathroom, the glossy surface does not really complement big bathrooms well. So if you have a big bathroom, a semi-gloss finish is more preferable.

Best Paint for Small Bathrooms

One of the best bathroom ideas for small spaces is using a high-gloss finish. They make your space appear larger and are also easier to clean. Basically, a high-gloss finish has a similar effect to putting a mirror in your room. The glossy surface reflects light easily, giving the illusion of a wider space and makes a room look brighter. Thus, a high gloss finish is an ideal choice for darker rooms or those that are lacking in natural light.

Best Paint Finish for Bathroom Ceiling

Bathroom ceilings are prone to mildew and mold build-up. Because they are difficult to clean— especially if you have a high ceiling— they often don’t receive the same care and maintenance as bathroom walls. To keep molds from building up, you will need a paint finish that is highly resistant to moisture. Thus, paint experts recommend using water-based acrylic latex paint with either a satin or semi-gloss finish. A high gloss finish also works but some people find it too shiny for their taste. Why water-based acrylic latex paint? This type of paint dries faster than its counterparts. They are also more durable, washable, and moisture-resistant.

Best Paint Finish for Bathroom Cabinets

Just like any other area of your bathroom, your cabinet is prone to moisture and fungal build-up. Hence, to protect them from staining and further extend their lifespan, a semi-gloss or satin paint finish is recommended. Not only are they highly resistant to dirt, but they are also easier to clean. Before painting your cabinets, lightly sand them first to remove any old paint then apply a primer. This will ensure that the paint finish will adhere evenly to the cabinet’s surface.

The Verdict

Experts recommend choosing either satin or semi-gloss finish for your bathroom interior because of their durability and wash-ability. However, take note that satin looks best in bathrooms with low moisture and humidity while semi-gloss works well for spaces with high humidity and moisture.

4 Steps to Prepare for a Kitchen Remodel

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| May 29, 2020

Redoing a kitchen can make the space more functional and increase the value of your home in both a personal and financial sense. However, before you allow contractors to start working on your kitchen, you need to do some work to ensure the process runs smoothly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on preparing for a kitchen remodel.

How to Get the Kitchen Ready for Remodeling

1. Do a Purge

There are likely items in your kitchen drawers and cabinets that you rarely use. Before beginning the kitchen remodel, go through the entire kitchen and get rid of items that aren’t needed. Consider selling them in a yard sale or donating them to a charity. This will make organizing the space much easier once the project’s finished.

2. Protect the Floors

If you’re not planning to replace the kitchen flooring, it’s important to protect it from damage. Contractors will be moving heavy objects around, possibly causing cracks and other damage. Lay carpet scraps over the floor before the contractors arrive.

3. Pack Dishes & Other Items

Remove everything that’s not attached to the walls before work begins. Box up your dishes, pots, and other items and store them in a safe place, like a spare bedroom. Doing so will make room for the remodeling project and protect your items from damage.

4. Buy Easy Foods

During a remodel, you might not have access to the kitchen for weeks. This is a good time to stock up on foods that don’t require a stove or oven to cook, such as pre-made salads and wraps. Consider setting up a microwave in a separate room so that you can warm up frozen meals. If the weather’s nice, fire up the grill for a backyard barbecue.

If you want to remodel your kitchen, turn to the professionals at Perspective Cabinetry & Design in Saint Louis, MO. The company has been helping homeowners complete their bathroom and kitchen remodel projects for over 20 years. Whether you want to install new cabinets or a kitchen island, they have the skills and equipment to revamp your space exactly as you envision it.

3 Types of Kitchen Islands

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Jun 30, 2020

For many people remodeling their kitchens, adding an island is a top priority. Beyond adding extra space for cooking and storage, islands often serve as the hub of the kitchen, providing space for socializing and even eating. You might be surprised by the wide variety of kitchen island styles, though. Choosing the right one depends on everything from the available floor space to how you plan to use your island, but here is a guide to the most common styles to help you narrow down the selection.

What Are the Most Common Kitchen Island Styles?

1. Full-Function Islands

If you have space, a fully functioning kitchen island can essentially become the equivalent of a second kitchen. These islands are fully connected with electricity and water, and typically feature cooktops, sinks, and prep space, as well as additional storage or space for appliances underneath. Many are also large enough to provide seating. They are the most expensive option and require the most available floor space, but they significantly increase efficiency and available workspace in the kitchen.

2. Tiered Islands

These permanent islands are designed to provide space for cooking prep and eating. The cooking side is counter height (36 inches high) while the eating side is bar height (42 inches). These islands are flexible and can provide storage, as well as built-in appliances or sinks. That said, unless the island is especially large, the cooking and eating surfaces are likely to be narrow, and may not provide as much extra counter space as you might like.

3. Portable Kitchen Islands

At the other end of the spectrum from the fully functioning kitchen island is the portable island. This type covers several different styles, from wheeled carts with drop-down counters and shelving to counter-height tables that only provide an extra surface for cooking and eating. These islands are not permanently installed and can be moved around as needed, so they don't require water or electrical hookups. They are also the least expensive option. That said, they offer extra storage and work surface and are ideal for smaller spaces.

If you’re considering adding an island to your kitchen, turn to the team at Perspective Cabinetry & Design in Webster Groves, MO. They have served the area since 2014, providing beautiful and functional cabinetry and kitchen islands.

3 Reasons to Choose Quartz Countertops

3 Reasons to Choose Quartz Countertops

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Jul 24, 2020

One of the most important aspects of any kitchen or bathroom design is the counters. They serve a vital role in the overall appeal and function of the space. As such, you want to make sure you choose the right material for these surfaces. While there are a variety of options to consider, quartz countertops have become increasingly popular with homeowners over the last decade. Here’s a closer look at what makes them special.

How Quartz Countertops Will Benefit Your Home

1. Aesthetic Value

Quartz is widely known for its natural beauty. Countertops can be designed to imitate authentic stone materials, such as granite, slate, and marble, and they can do so in an array of colors. There are also many edging and finish options, giving you total control over the look of the room. An added advantage is their uniform pattern, providing a smooth and sleek presentation.

2. Durability

As an engineered stone, quartz is a highly durable material. In turn, quartz countertops are able to withstand a great deal of wear and tear without breaking down or losing their eye-catching appearance. They’re not prone to scratching or chipping, and their strength allows them to hold up well against heat and corrosion. This means your investment is likely to last for years to come.

3. Low Maintenance

Unlike granite and marble materials, quartz doesn’t need to have a sealant applied. Quartz is nonporous, which makes it much more difficult for liquids to penetrate the surface and cause staining. It’s also resistant to bacteria growth.

For this reason, quartz countertops are relatively easy to take care of. You can simply wipe them down with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth for daily upkeep and long-term beauty.

If you’re planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, turn to Perspective Cabinetry & Design for help getting your project completed just as you envisioned. Utilizing high-grade materials and their expert design skills, they’ll assist you in creating customized quartz countertops that meet your needs and instantly make the space more beautiful. Backed by more than 20 years of combined experience, the company is proud to deliver superior workmanship and long-lasting results on every job.

5 Bathroom Cabinet Styles

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Aug 24, 2020

Bathroom cabinets play a major role in the overall look and function, offering both aesthetic appeal and a place to store toiletry items. If you’re realizing how many popular cabinetry styles are available for bathroom settings, it may be tough to determine what’s best for your remodel. Here’s a closer look at several types to help you decide.

What Cabinet Style Should Your Bathroom Have?

1. Recessed

Recessed cabinets that flank vanities and are mirror-height make small bathrooms appear bigger and sizable rooms even more spacious and airy. They’re ideal for bathrooms where the wall configuration offers pipe-free space. Depending on your preferences, the cabinet can be a section cut out of the wall with cabinet doors on top or built-in cabinets that simply happen to be recessed.

2. Furniture

One of the biggest bathroom cabinetry trends of the last few years has been the furniture style, or cabinets with lower open shelving and distinct legs. Some homeowners re-imagine vintage vanities as cabinets that come in a variety of designs and sizes, including tall, standalone vanities with single instead of double doors underneath. Others prefer the majesty of cabinets with raised panel doors and crown molding in the Federal style .

3. Floating

These bathroom cabinets are mounted to the wall under the sink to create a “floating” appearance. They provide a minimalist vibe, save floor space for towel baskets or other bathing items, and create a focal point. Floating cabinets often come in wood and wood-composite varieties with a natural grain look, though they’re also available in sleek white and black composite options, among others.

4. Distressed

For those who enjoy the farmhouse or shabby chic look, distressed bathroom cabinetry provides a winning solution. These “weathered” cabinets also apply to country and cottage-style bathrooms to create a vintage result that pairs well with clear lighting and metal counters.

5. Flat

Featuring minimal but easy-to-use hardware in the long metal rod style, flat cabinets come in laminate and wood materials while offering a variety of finishes to suit your bathroom remodel’s color scheme. They also save bathroom space, simplify bathroom cleaning, and are among the most affordable selections.

Keep the size of your new bathroom in mind to avoid cabinets that look misplaced. Trust Perspective Cabinetry & Design to help you find the perfect solution for both form and function.

5 Ways to Prepare for a Bathroom Remodel

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Sep 25, 2020

Perhaps you want to expand your bathroom to make space for a spa tub or to install a sizable cabinetry system. Maybe you’re planning extensive work to bring the entire room into the 21st century. To make the process as seamless as possible, use the following tips to prepare for your upcoming bathroom remodel .

How to Get Your Bathroom Ready for Remodeling

1. Determine the Project’s Timeline

Discuss how long the project will likely take with your remodeling contractor, such as a few days or a week. If you intend to stay in your home and keep using the bathroom, come up with a schedule everyone in the household must follow to avoid project delays. Depending on how long the remodel will take and whether you have additional bathrooms, you may want to arrange other accommodations, such as staying with friends or family.

2. Clean Up

Clean and disinfect your toilet, shower, and tub as a courtesy to the remodeling contractor, especially if replacing all of them is part of the project. Cleaning prevents dealing with unpleasant odors, soap scum, and other grime that makes the job less than pleasant. Your contractor will appreciate your efforts.

3. Remove Everything

Take everything out of the bathroom to keep belongings damage-free and avoid tripping hazards. Remove items from your shower/bath enclosure, medicine cabinet, and all other drawers, including toiletries, medications, and towels. Also, put bathroom rugs somewhere else and take down all decor items. Everything must go, including the toilet wand.

4. Create a Clear Path

Ensure the path from your front door to the job site is clear for the contractors. Find places for toys and anything else that’s in the way. Consider putting down tarps, drop cloths, or similar floor coverings along the path so that the contractors aren’t tracking dirt into your home every day.

5. Turn the Water Off

Turn the water off on the first day of the bathroom remodel if it will involve plumbing work. Another courteous gesture, shutting the water off saves time because the contractor won’t have to do it. If you’re not sure whether you need to turn the water off, talk to your contractor a few days before the start date.

Schedule bathroom remodeling services with Perspective Cabinetry & Design to enjoy a more functional, aesthetically pleasing bathing space. Specializing in kitchen and bathroom design services throughout the Webster Groves, MO, area, this company also provides a full line of quality products from top brands.

3 Quartz Countertop Edges Ideal for Small Kitchens

3 Quartz Countertop Edges Ideal for Small Kitchens

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Oct 27, 2020

Brand-new quartz countertops can add color, a unique pattern, and visual interest to your kitchen remodel , especially if you select a modern material with natural veining. However, the edge is one part of the design that’s often overlooked. Choosing an edge can be tricky in smaller kitchens, as it’s important to suggest more space, not less. Here’s a closer look at three edge styles that will fit right in.

What Type of Countertop Edge Is Best for Smaller Spaces?

1. Eased Edge

Also called the square edge, eased edge countertops create a classic look and work perfectly for a kitchen remodel where space is an issue. With a simple, elegant style that doesn’t need to jut out, it doesn’t waste an inch.

Eased edges can be created either by simply cutting the quartz counters at a straight edge or by laminating additional strips of countertop material to the sides to create a thicker look. Eased edges are sanded on the top to eliminate sharp corners.

2. Bullnose Edge

Since thicker slabs of quartz and edge profiles are more expensive, many people who have smaller kitchens recreate the look of thicker material by opting for a bullnose edge. A bullnose countertop is completely rounded in a semi-circle, which is helpful for bumped elbows, which may happen more often in tighter quarters. The curve of a bullnose edge also creates more of an elegant look at a lower cost than more complicated edge profiles.

3. Single Bevel Edge

If you want an edge profile with a little more personality without breaking the bank, try the single bevel edge. This style starts as a squared-off eased edge, but with a bevel taken out of the top edge. This simple, attractive edge profile creates a gem-like shine on the edge of your counters while simultaneously reducing the angle of the edge and eliminating sharp corners.

Top 3 Advantages of Floating Kitchen Shelves

Top 3 Advantages of Floating Kitchen Shelves

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Nov 25, 2020

Floating shelving is a popular feature included in modern kitchen remodels . These fixtures don’t have doors like kitchen cabinets and lack an obvious means of support, thus the name. If you're planning a kitchen update, here are a few compelling reasons to consider installing floating shelves.

3 Benefits of Open Shelving for Your Kitchen Remodel

1. Space

Floating shelves take up less space than full cabinets and don’t extend as far, giving the kitchen an airier, more open feel. They’re ideal for helping a small room feel less cramped.

Additionally, shelves are easy to customize; you can add storage to areas where cabinets don’t fit, such as nooks or corners. You can also take advantage of vertical space simply by adding more shelves.

2. Cost

Because they have no tops, sides, or doors, floating shelves require less material, making them considerably less expensive to build and customize. They’re also not as heavy, so they don't require as much wall support. This makes them quicker and easier to install, which saves on the cost of your kitchen remodel.

3. Convenience

Open shelving makes it easy to grab or put away dishes when you don't have to deal with opening and closing cabinet doors. You also don't need to hunt through multiple cabinets to locate a little-used item while you worry about something on the stovetop burning. Everything you have is on display and easy to find.

If you're interested in open shelving as a part of your kitchen remodel, contact Perspective Cabinetry & Design in St. Louis, MO. They’ve served Greater St. Louis County since 2000, specializing in custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets, shelving units, kitchen countertops, and other interior design features.

4 Types of Wood for Kitchen Cabinets

4 Types of Wood for Kitchen Cabinets

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Dec 28, 2020

Remodeling your kitchen can be a fun process, but it’s also challenging to decide between materials. When selecting cabinets, there’s a wealth of color, stain, and finish options, but the new look of your space all starts with the wood itself. Here’s a closer look at different wood types for kitchen cabinets and how their beauty can be maximized.

What Wood Should You Choose for Your Cabinets?

1. Cherry

Cherry wood varies in natural grain colors from light white to rich red-brown and tends to come in distinct patterns, so your kitchen cabinets will have a unique texture. This durable hardwood also tends to turn darker underneath sunlight over time, so it’s wise to select a hue that you’d still enjoy if it becomes a few shades darker.

For a traditional look, choose a glazed finish on a deep cherry hue, which will also protect and seal the cabinets’ rich color. Alternatively, opting for a warm brown finish can showcase cherry’s natural beauty while contrasting beautifully with the sleekness of modern appliances.

2. Oak

Beautiful and sturdy, oak hardwood cabinets can retain their natural allure while withstanding daily activities. Many homeowners opt for a dark brown finish for a more rustic look that pairs well in traditional or contemporary settings, particularly because the lovely wood grain still shows. You can also combine natural oak kitchen cabinets with those that have been painted in a different color for a unique kitchen design that blends farmhouse and contemporary styles.

3. Maple

Long-lasting and flexible, maple is a popular choice for cabinets. Naturally displaying a warm honey color, maple wood tends to have a smooth grain, making cabinets easy to finish and paint.

Additionally, sun exposure can deepen its color, so keep a lighter stain in mind if you prefer a bright atmosphere. You can also have them varnished to protect them against heat and yellowing from age without adding a stain, or use a glaze to accentuate maple’s characteristics.

4. Hickory

For a bolder space, select hickory. While colors may range from blonde to dark brown, hickory wood can be unpredictable in grain pattern, adding a charming layer with irregular knots, burls, mineral streaks, and wormholes. However, cabinets may also appear smooth and straight with close-grained patterns.

A glazed finish will provide an aged, rustic look, while a lighter stain will emphasize the freshly milled aspect. However, you can also opt for darker brown or reddish stains if you want to make a richly hued statement.

3 Maintenance Tips for Quartz Countertops

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Jan 25, 2021

A quartz countertop makes a stunning addition to your kitchen. In addition to being supremely attractive, the material is durable, nonporous, and a valuable long-term investment. However, because it primarily consists of natural stone, it requires a bit of maintenance to keep it looking its best. Here's a closer look at how to protect quartz surfaces.

How to Care for Your Quartz Countertop

1. Guard Against Heat & Impacts

Quartz is very sturdy, but you shouldn't treat it as impervious to damage. Quartz can withstand temperatures to about 300 degrees F, but the pigments and resins within the countertop are only rated to about 150 degrees. Protect the surface against heat by always using a trivet or hot pad before you place a pot on it straight from the stove. To avoid cracks, never use it as a surface on which to hammer something, and always use a cutting board when chopping food.

2. Clean Spills Promptly

Quartz is mostly nonporous, which means it doesn't absorb liquids quickly. Nevertheless, it's important to wipe up spills quickly to avoid stains setting in. This is particularly important when it comes to acidic substances, such as orange and grape juice, soft drinks, vegetable oil, and wine. Wipe them up using a soft cloth or sponge before they have a chance to dry.

3. Avoid Bleach & Ammonia

Cleaning products that contain bleach or ammonia can damage the stone, while regular use of dish soap dulls the appearance. Be wary of degreasers and oven cleaners as well, as they're often highly acidic. Similarly, avoid acidic natural cleaners like lemon juice and vinegar.

Instead, choose a commercial cleaner that's specially formulated for natural stone. This will protect the surface and shine.

4 Tips for Planning Your Kitchen Island

4 Tips for Planning Your Kitchen Island

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Feb 24, 2021

A kitchen island can be a significant addition to your home, but it’s important to consider both the aesthetics and practicality of this popular kitchen feature. As with any home remodeling project, careful planning is vital if you want to achieve your desired results. Here's what to keep in mind before you enhance the heart of your home.

How to Make Your Kitchen Island Layout Work

1. Consider Functionality

Think about why you want a kitchen island in the first place. Whether you're after extra storage or an additional cooking surface, choose a design that closely meets those needs. With a wealth of options available, this is the chance to turn the kitchen into a dream space.

Common island features include a sink, cooktop, range hood, oven, recycling bins, outlets, shelves, and drawers. While narrowing down these functional choices, be aware of how they add up in relation to the kitchen’s layout and size. Aside from the popular L-shape, other variations include the rectangle, rounded, and T-shaped islands.

2. Think About the Surrounding Space

Too little or too much space around the island can take away from the beauty and efficiency of the kitchen. There must be enough room for people to work or walk around the island, but on the other hand, a lot of unusable space can disrupt workflow since essential kitchen components won’t be within reach. Don’t forget fully open appliance and cabinet doors when calculating the clearance space.

3. Plan for Seating Accordingly

If you've always wanted a hub for dining, socializing, and entertaining, ask the designer about the recommended size for comfortable seating. You'll need enough knee clearance and elbow room for everyone to relax and dine. If you have children, consider lower seats or choose a design that’s best for their age.

4. Choose the Ideal Countertop

Your choice of countertop material may be the deciding factor when it comes to the shape and size of the kitchen island. Stone countertops mostly come in standard sizes, and you may not want a visible joint. Ultimately, the type of worktop should fit your lifestyle, particularly concerning meal preparation.

Plan for the kitchen of your dreams with the top design team at Perspective Cabinetry & Design in Webster Groves, MO.

Should You Paint or Stain Your Kitchen Cabinets?

Should You Paint or Stain Your Kitchen Cabinets?

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Mar 26, 2021

For many homeowners, kitchen cabinets are the “face” of the room and therefore have a huge impact on its aesthetic. Whether you're planning a full kitchen remodel or only updating this one aspect, you’ll need to decide between staining and painting the cabinets. Here's a closer look at the pros and cons of each to help you determine what’s best for your kitchen.

Painted Cabinets

Paint creates a smooth, uniform, modern result with a wide range of colors to choose from. It can be applied to plywood, hardwood, and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) cabinetry, allowing you to choose less expensive materials and put money into other kitchen remodeling projects. Many paints also offer water resistance to prevent the underlying material from warping.

Despite creating contemporary looks, maintaining clean painted cabinets is often challenging. Unless you’re working with washable paint, removing staining foods and liquids can cause the product to erode or crack. However, if you don’t mind hiding grain and other natural wood blemishes or prefer to work with inexpensive MDF, paint could be the ideal option.

Stained Cabinets

By staining kitchen cabinets, you’re highlighting hardwood grain and knots to create a natural, attractive result. In addition to aesthetics, staining products reduce cabinet maintenance because they won’t crack or peel. They're also easier to apply because mistakes aren't obvious. However, the water resistance of stained cabinets is minimal, and you’ll have fewer color choices.

Refrain from applying staining products to MDF, as they don't soak into the material and can create an unattractive result. Though hardwood cabinets cost more upfront, they'll last up to 30 years when stained. Painted cabinets typically last 10 years before they need minor to major touch-ups. Opt for stained cabinets if you’re considering long-term, low-maintenance investments and love the natural look they provide.

How to Pair Countertops With Cabinets

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Apr 22, 2021

After dreaming and sketching out ideas, you’re finally moving forward with an exciting kitchen remodel . One of the main considerations is how to pair countertops with cabinets. With the range of colors, finishes, and hardware options, the decision can be intimidating. Here's a closer look at how to select your desired shades and what to keep in mind for choosing a harmonious marriage of countertops and cabinets.

How to Use Color in the Kitchen

Your preferred hue is the starting point for the kitchen remodel’s aesthetic. Whether you’re leaning more toward contemporary or country traditional, color selection will help guide which countertops and cabinets create a cohesive pairing. If you're looking for a bold and modern kitchen design, check out the options on a color wheel. Cooler tones include blue and green, while complementary warmer tones are found in yellow and red. Envision which shades you want in the kitchen and how they harmonize with each other.

To balance any bright colors you've chosen, consider neutrals, such as black, brown, tan, white, and gray. These contrasts can be used in cabinets or countertops. Neutrals can also be found in bronze, copper, and gold metal hardware for cabinets. Either of these groups has the ability to complement the standard color wheel options by warming up or cooling down a kitchen’s overall design.

Keep at least two or three colors in mind when it’s time to select countertops and cabinets. Place swatches up against different textures to get an idea of how the pairings synchronize. Combine swatches to envision how color combinations will look in your kitchen.

How to Approach Countertop & Cabinet Material

Much of the beauty of countertops is in the flecks of color found in materials like granite, quartz, and marble. Ceramic tile and slate can offer a sleeker, modern look. Once you decide which type of countertop will be installed, consider playing off the veining and pops of color when choosing cabinet finishes. For example, a granite countertop with gold veining can complement cabinets with gold hardware and other accents.

Wood cabinets remain a popular choice in kitchen remodels. There are many species of wood to choose from, including walnut, oak, cherry, and hickory. If your vision is a black and white design, consider a beige wood, such as birch. Brown or black stone countertops contrast nicely with the lighter finish. Cabinet color schemes in greens or neutrals provide a seamless style for gray stone countertops. If bolder shades like red, lavender, and blue are among your preferences for cabinets, white marble or stone countertops produce a stunning blend.

Your kitchen remodel’s cabinet and countertop choices are as unique as you are. For more than 20 years, Perspective Cabinetry & Design in St. Louis, MO, has helped homeowners by providing expert consultations tailored to a range of preferred styles. What makes the team different is that they listen to your vision and budget and are committed to accommodating both.

An Introduction to Shaker-Style Kitchen Cabinets

An Introduction to Shaker-Style Kitchen Cabinets

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| May 14, 2021

Shaker-style kitchen cabinets are in high demand for many modern remodeling projects, but many homeowners may find themselves wondering how they got such a distinctive name. Drawing inspiration from the 1800s, this timeless look continues to be a great fit for today, blending well with a wide variety of kitchen designs. Here's a closer look at both the history and style.

Who Were the Shakers?

The Shakers are a Christian denomination that was founded in the 18th century. At the time, they were distinguished for their unique form of worship, which included ritual dancing and “shaking.” The last remaining member to be raised as a Shaker passed away in 2017.

People of this faith were committed to the ideas of simplicity and self-reliance. This resulted in Shakers largely designing and building their own furniture, typically using high-quality, locally sourced wood. Their pieces used a simple utilitarian design that was free of ornamentation or embellishment. As a result, Shaker craftsmen placed a heavy emphasis on quality, and their work was designed to last for generations.

What Shaker-Style Kitchen Cabinets Are Like

The clean, straight lines of Shaker furniture give it a minimalist look that remains highly popular today. This simple look allows Shaker-style cabinets to blend well with traditional, modern, country, or minimalist designs. The doors use a flat, recessed panel that is surrounded by simple rail frames. Some cabinets have a raised center as part of the recessed flat panel. The cabinets are often painted white or light gray.

Essentially, if cabinets are distinguished by plain squares and rails with straight edges and no ornamentation, they are likely influenced by classic Shaker design. Like Shaker products of old, the use of high-quality materials ensures they will stand up to the rigors of your kitchen for a generation or more.

Ideas for Kitchen Tile Backsplashes

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Jul 08, 2021

A backsplash is ideal for giving a dramatic visual impact to a kitchen. There are a wide range of materials, colors and layouts to choose from. Here are a few kitchen remodels designed by Perspective Cabinetry & Design using different styles of backsplash. What backsplash is your style?

This kitchen remodel, designed by Patti Martineau & Alice Asbed at Perspective Cabinetry & Design, used the Barocco ceramic tile series which is made to mimic the look of damask wallpaper with a woven pattern on a white background. Minimal grout joints were used to bring a classic Victorian wallpaper effect to life. The gray tones complimented the stained maple cabinets and stainless steel oven.

Subway tiles can stand alone or complement contrasting tiles and trim to create a classic, contemporary or retro vibe. This kitchen remodel used white subway tile with a dark grout for the backsplash, making it stand out, complimenting the farmhouse sink and white cabinets. Designed by Dan Mueller & Alice Asbed at Perspective Cabinetry & Design.

Silver Mist tiles are perfect for elevating the look of any kitchen or bathroom with their smooth, honed surfaces and veins of light and dark grey. This modern-style kitchen used Silver Mist Honed Limestone 4 x 12 tiles for the backsplash, highlighting the dark sleek slab-door-style cabinets. Designed by Dan Mueller and Alice Asbed at Perspective Cabinetry & Design.

3 Tips to Determine How Much Kitchen Cabinet Space You Need

By Perspective Cabinetry & Design

| Jul 16, 2021

Storage is invaluable in kitchens and one of the first design details to consider when building or remodeling a home. Adding more kitchen cabinets in the future isn’t always possible if you’re tight on space, so it’s important to make the right choice the first time around. Luckily, there are some simple insights to give you an accurate idea of what your storage needs are.

How to Figure Out Your Kitchen Storage Requirements

1. Look at Current & Future Needs

What are the pitfalls of your current setup? Maybe small appliances are cluttering countertops because there’s nowhere to put them, or you're having trouble fitting large cookware in cabinets. Each of these scenarios usually means you need dedicated cabinet space for these items, so add it to what you currently have.

Consider expansion as well. If you’ll have children in the future, you’ll need more utensils, dishes, bowls, and glasses, which will add up to a lot of space. You may also purchase a new range of tools, pots, and pans if cooking becomes a hobby. Your best bet is to always overestimate your storage needs so that you’re prepared for the future.

2. Take Inventory

Get rid of broken items, duplicates, and old food that are taking up space in your kitchen. This will let you take inventory of what’s left. These items will all need a home in your new kitchen cabinets.

See how much room they take up in your kitchen now. If it’s three overflowing cabinets, plan to add at least another in the new kitchen.

3. Consider Organization

Cluttered storage spaces are inconvenient, and it’s easy for essential items to get lost. How you want to store items can affect your kitchen cabinet needs. This is why homeowners often create zones.

Under-sink cabinets usually include cleaning supplies, while pots, pans, cutlery, and baking sheets are typically desired near the stove. Spices and other common ingredients may go in an upper cabinet next to prep areas, while dishes, glasses, and silverware will take their own areas above the dishwasher. Apply your inventory to how you want it organized to gauge how much cabinet space you need in each zone.

Ensure all your storage needs are met by working with Perspective Cabinetry & Design . This St. Louis, MO, company will help you design the perfect space for your needs. They advise on every design detail, including custom kitchen cabinets, countertops , and finishes. They’ll then create a comprehensive kitchen design that maximizes space and aesthetics.
