Designing a Kitchen on a Budget

The kitchen is the main headquarters of any home because it functions as more than just a place to create meals. The kitchen functions as a place to bond with friends and family, a learning center for the children, and a place where the family can participate in hands-on activities. A well-designed kitchen can provide any family with a sense of stability and well-being. When you’re planning your kitchen design, the budget is the most important and most limiting factor of the plan.

Just because you want a kitchen with a beautiful design that wows the neighbors and brings your family closer doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. There are many ways to get the kitchen that you’ve always wanted at a discount. Ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets are especially popular right now because of their low cost and easy to assemble design. Even DIY novices are designing their own kitchens with better storage options and high-quality kitchen cabinets that make custom-built cabinets look bad.

No matter your design style, RTA kitchen cabinets have cabinets that will work with your kitchen design and your home’s décor. Whether you are more traditional or modern in your design, RTA cabinets will fit beautifully in your home. With a variety of styles and finishes, you won’t have to settle on something you don’t want just because what you do want is out of your budget. Even if you’re on the tightest budget, RTA cabinets will be fit in perfectly. RTA cabinets have helped many homeowners increase the value of their home or just allow the kitchen to function as desired. Regardless of your budget or style, RTA kitchen cabinets will give you a beautiful kitchen that even your richest friends will envy. You don’t have to tell them how much you spent!

Ready-to-assemble: What the Pros Don’t Want You to Know

Ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets essentially mean they are a do-it-yourself kitchen cabinet. RTA kitchen cabinets are the easiest way to save money when remodeling your kitchen because you don’t need to hire expensive contractors. You still get high-quality kitchen cabinets, but for the fraction of the price. The savings continues when you receive your RTA  cabinets in the mail because you can assemble them yourself; a fact most professionals don’t want you to know!

Do-it-yourself projects can be intimidating for people who do not think they are handy with a hammer or screwdriver, but you don’t have to be an experienced contractor to tackle our RTA kitchen cabinets. Many of our cabinets can be assembled in 15 minutes or less using only a screwdriver and our detailed directions. All our RTA cabinets come pre-cut with pre-drilled holes to make the easy for even a novice to assemble.

Ready to assemble cabinets will save thousands of dollars as opposed to designer store kitchen cabinets. Even if you don’t buy custom-made kitchen cabinets, you will still have to foot the bill for the assembly, even if it is done somewhere other than your kitchen. It is easier to save money and have a customized kitchen with all the storage you need without emptying your bank account. Even if you decide a do-it-yourself project isn’t for you, you can hire someone to install your RTA kitchen cabinets for a fraction of what you would have paid if you bought your kitchen cabinets at a designer or home improvement store.

Save Big With Discount Kitchen Cabinets

Although in the past the term “discount” meant, “lacking in quality”, today’s shoppers are seeing that a discount does not always mean poorly made. With the economy still trying to stay afloat, many consumers are looking for ways to cut back on spending without sacrificing the quality of the items they buy. Since the dollar needs to stretch further than ever, customers are actually seeking discounts for items ranging from staple supplies to remodeling products. With technology at its peak, customers can definitely find a great deal on just about anything if they look hard enough. Finding high-quality kitchen cabinets for less is easier than ever because many brick-and-mortar stores are jumping onto the Internet marketplace bandwagon to reach more customers.

Make More Room in the Bathroom

The key to a functioning bathroom is storage space. Nobody wants to have hair supplies and make-up all over the counter, but it’s a common problem in today’s bathrooms. Making sure you have enough space with bathroom vanities is the key success when renovating because it can really change the way you feel about your bathroom. Although many consumers think bathroom vanities are the best solution bathroom cabinets are a great alternative that offer more storage space.

A vanity unit is usually in one piece where the counter space you see is what you get to work with everyday. When you order a vanity, you have limited space to store your personal care items, cleaning supplies, and towels. With the use of bathroom cabinets, you can create your own custom vanity space that suits your storage needs. You can decide if you need a drawer for each of the children, cabinet storage behind doors, or a full storage cabinet that never touches the floor.

Bathroom cabinets also come in a variety of materials, colors, and finishes. This way the bathroom not stores everything you need, but it stores it in style. To create the essence of your style, you can choose furniture in cherry, maple and oak that allows for open design styles. To further edit your bathroom, you can select multiple finishes for the appearance of a stylish bathroom either modern or traditional. Although this may seem too good to be true, you can get the bathroom of your dreams! It’s even more unbelievable when you meet your needs without spending your savings!

The most tedious process of renovation and redevelopment is deciding on the style of your bathroom cabinets. Ready-to-assemble cabinets have many door styles, finishes, stains and colors for you to choose from. Combining the quality of RTA bathroom cabinets and the cost effective custom components will give you the bathroom you’ve always wanted. Say goodbye to messy bathroom counters and hello to affordable bathroom storage.

Kitchen Remodeling Made Easy

The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the home. Families spend most of their time in the kitchen, so it is very important to plan your kitchen remodeling down to the last screw. A well-designed kitchen that has style and quality can add to the value of any home, so it is important to install the best kitchen cabinets that you can afford. When planning your kitchen remodel, it is always good to jot down your likes and dislikes of your current kitchen. This list will give you a basis for your kitchen remodel and kitchen cabinet layout, plus you will be able to notice additions you would like to make to your current kitchen. As an example, look at the amount of storage your kitchen cabinets provide. Do you need more? Adding more kitchen cabinets to the space will allow for more counter space. If you have limited counter space, an additional storage cabinet will help de-clutter the space.

Once you have a clear idea to what you want your kitchen to be and do, it is time to get creative with your design ideas. Before you even begin looking at kitchen cabinets, you need to decide what styles do not fit your home’s overall style. If you don’t weed out the styles and finishes that won’t work for you, you could spend endless hours wondering around showrooms and trying to get a representative’s attention. Most major kitchen cabinet designers have moved to the online platform to make it easier for customers to access.

The main benefit of shopping online for kitchen cabinets is that many companies offer them at a discount, which means you can have high-quality kitchen cabinets no matter how low your budget. Many people question how kitchen cabinets can be so inexpensive and the answer is in the middleman. Since kitchen cabinet wholesalers have an online presence, there is no need for a brick-and-mortar store. The minimal overhead savings that comes from an online store gets passed on to the customer. However, many customers need to be reminded that since they are receiving cabinets at a discounted price that it doesn’t mean that the quality of the kitchen cabinets are cheap.

If you’re a little apprehensive because you can’t see and feel what you are buying before you order it, take a deep breath. We provide samples of the choices you’ve made and will send out sample doors so you can see and feel the quality that we offer before you buy. Remodeling your kitchen with new kitchen cabinets has never been so easy!
