How to Choose the Best Cabinet for You

Choosing the right cabinets can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you're remodeling a kitchen, upgrading a bathroom, or starting from scratch, finding the perfect cabinet style for your space, lifestyle, and budget is key to a successful project.

Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the best cabinet for you.

1. 🎨 Start with Your Style

Think about the overall look and feel you want in your space. Are you drawn to:

• Modern: Sleek lines, flat-panel doors, glossy finishes.

• Traditional: Raised panels, warm wood tones, detailed moldings.

• Transitional: A mix of classic and modern — shaker cabinets are a favorite here.

• Rustic or Farmhouse: Natural wood grains, distressed finishes, cozy textures.

Tip: Browse Pinterest or Instagram and save cabinet styles you love. Patterns will start to emerge!

2. 🪵 Choose the Right Cabinet Construction

At Legacy Interior, we specialize in Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) cabinets — an affordable, DIY-friendly option that doesn’t sacrifice quality.

Look for features like:

• Solid wood frames

• Plywood box construction

• Soft-close doors and drawers

• Durable finishes

These are signs of a well-made cabinet that will stand the test of time.

3. 📏 Measure Your Space

Before selecting cabinets, take accurate measurements of your layout. Think about:

• Wall dimensions

• Appliance placements

• Window and door clearance

• Island or pantry needs

This will help determine which cabinet sizes and configurations will fit your space best.

4. 💡 Think About Functionality

Function matters just as much as form. Ask yourself:

• Do you need more drawer space or open shelving?

• How do you store dishes, pots, or pantry items?

• Do you prefer deep base cabinets, , or tall pantry units?

Choosing the right cabinet layout and accessories will make your space more efficient and enjoyable to use every day.

5. 🎯 Set a Budget That Works for You

Cabinets are a major investment — but they don’t have to break the bank. RTA cabinets from Legacy Interior offer great value, combining high-end quality with a lower price point thanks to simple, DIY assembly.

Knowing your budget early helps narrow down options and avoids surprises later in the project.
