When installing new kitchen cabinets, changing a storage scheme, or remodeling a whole kitchen, homeowners tend to focus a great deal on the color and finish of the cabinetry (which is understandable given how many options are out there!). What can end up as more of an afterthought is the hardware, including all knobs, pulls, hooks, hinges and more. But choosing just any hardware is a potential mistake and can result in dulling the aesthetic appeal of your new cabinetry and even damaging it in the long run. If you are thinking of remodeling your kitchen or installing new cabinets any time soon, keep these 4 tips in mind.

Hiring a Kitchen Designer for Form AND Function

That’s why it’s important to include both the designer and installer early in the process. It’s critical to keep practical, technical concerns in mind right from the start. The fact is, not all kitchen design firms also handle installation!
