Whether you’re starting fresh or renovating, one of the key things to consider when designing cabinetry is re-sale value. Whilst you may not intend on changing residences, planning for the future is always wise and as such, stylistic choices should, as much as possible, remain consistent throughout the home. This suggests that one of the first things to consider is the style of residence. Some of the most common styles are as follows:
- Colonial
- Minimalist
- Contemporary.

Try to identify which style is already evident within the home and align your cabinetry choices with these elements. This includes decisions regarding door profiles, handles/knobs, benchtops and kickboards/bulkheads.

Re-sale Value

Colour Selection

Clients often ask for the most ‘timeless’ option. Realistically, all styles do come and go, but by following some simple guidelines, you can accommodate these changes and ensure your cabinetry is something you never tire of.

The first guideline is regarding organic options. By selecting natural materials such as stone or timber, you are better positioned to ensure a timeless finish. These options can be used throughout the home and should be considered in relation to flooring and lighting choices.

Secondly, the use of some strategic colour combinations can ensure your space can accommodate cyclical trends. Remembering the importance of prioritising resale value, it is recommended that unique design choices are reserved for temporary fixtures such as decorative accessories. Consequently, when selecting permanent fixtures such as cupboard doors, benchtops and tiles, the following colour combinations are recommended:
- White on white
- Black and white with additional grey tones
- Natural / sandy tones.
Please note that lighter colour combinations also assist in making smaller spaces feel larger.

Inspiration

Firstly, you must research the way you want your new cabinetry to look. The best way to do this is to begin by finding inspiration through the design choices of others.
You are more than welcome to bring photos of inspiration into your colour consultation meeting. As such, two helpful sites include pinterest.com and houzz.com.au
Start by locating images of cabinetry you love and then see if you can identify the common features between the photos that stand out to you. Pay close attention to the finer details such as:
- door fronts as either flat or profiled,
- handles or knobs,
- colour combinations in conjunction with flooring and lighting options,
- splashbacks
- layouts and fixtures.

To ensure the end product meets your expectations, try to ensure images of inspiration contain elements that reflect the state or style of your current home.

Appliances

Finally, because appliances are such an important part of the process, the sooner you decide on these options, the better. Please send us the specifications of all of your appliances as soon as they are purchased as delays can occur when appliances are not available on site when stone benchtops are being prepared.
