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.


6. 🛍️ Order Samples or Consult a Pro
