Quilted Stainless Steel

Match Your Cabinets With Other Kitchen Furniture

When planning and designing your kitchen cabinets, space and functionality will no doubt be your primary concerns. However, attention to style and material will also need to be included in your designs to ensure that you are satisfied with the finished effect.

Your cabinets need to reflect the overall feeling and style of your kitchen. For example, if you are trying to create a traditional kitchen, you may want to use medium to dark woods. The cabinet facades need to match or complement other pieces of kitchen furniture in order to create a harmonious overall effect. French country style cabinets would reflect a more worn, rustic, homely feel, while mission style kitchens would benefit from rugged, square-bodied, dark wood cabinets.

If your style is more contemporary, you may be looking for a minimalist design in chrome, stainless steel or bright colored laminates. These cabinet designs have sleek, clean lines and glide seamlessly into each other. You may want to consider a matching cabinet door front to your refrigerator and dishwasher to maintain the overall effect.

Whilst stainless steel, has been the material of choice for designer cabinets in recent years, the natural wooden look is making a comeback. Complemented by granite counter tops and slate floors, modern natural wood cabinets can look fantastic. Such cabinets will feature natural patterns and characteristics, such as knots, quilting, a birdseye pattern, and fiddleback or spalting effect.

There are a wide variety of woods that make perfect kitchen cabinets, from hard woods such as Maple, Walnut, Cherry and Madrone, a Californian native, to soft woods including Alder and the Australian Lacewood. Lighter varieties of wood include pine or birch, whilst if you seeking a dark wood finish you might consider Burl or Bloodwood. If you have very specific ideas about your perfect cabinet design, it may be worth getting the cabinets made from untreated wood, which can then be stained, painted, stenciled or etched to suit your own tastes.

When planning your cabinet layout, you will want to consider inner storage space, the required height of wall mounted cabinets above your splash-back, and where other items in the kitchen will be located, to ensure your cabinets are conveniently placed as well as aesthetically pleasing. Ensure you can reach the top shelves and that your cabinets are deep enough to accommodate all your pots and pans without completely taking over your kitchen. Make sure you have plenty of space above your counter tops so you are not constantly colliding with wall mounted cabinets while working on your kitchen surfaces.

What Color Should I Paint My Bedroom?

I am 13 years old. I have recently outgrown my old jungle themed room. I have a clean slate, Medium sized room with white walls and ceiling now. wow did that take a while to prime! I have a fancier baseboard and crown molding. Im not really the girly girl type. I am confused. I am very creative. Once I have a color i can buy the fabric to make a quilt. My bedroom is in my basement so i only have a very small window in the corner of my room. Maybe not a dark color on the walls. I also have sleep issues so i need a room that will be easy to fall asleep in. I have a black sleigh bed and a esspresso desk with stainless steel handles. I dont have a closet but i do have a wardrobe. I thought I would paint it yellow but im second guessing myself.

If you could help me please do.

Yellow would look nice. The other suggestions that I would give are :

green, behr pain color Bamboo Leaf and then do the bedding similar to http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Asian-Lilly-3-piece-Mini-Duvet-Cover-Set/4488348/product.html

light blue, behr paint color Sea Sprite and do bedding similar to http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&navAction=jump&id=18146407&search=true&isProduct=true&parentid=SEARCH+RESULTS&color=011

robins egg blue, behr paint color Tropical Tide, and bedding similar to http://store.delias.com/browse.do?categoryID=1917&sidenavTrack=roomwares.victorian (without the pink pillows, less girly)
