If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen or bathroom cabinetry, there are many different materials and styles to choose from. For a high-end look and a great range of styles and prices, make sure you carefully examine your wood cabinetry choices. Here are five woods we work with at Southwest Kitchen & Bath to build high-quality custom cabinetry for your kitchen or bathroom.
1. Birch, Oak, and Maple
If you’re looking for entry- or mid-level wood cabinetry, consider birch, oak, or maple cabinets for your kitchen or bathroom. These hardwoods are commonly used in cabinetry, and are excellent lower-cost alternatives to higher-end woods. Birch, oak, and maple are known for being durable, even grained, and receptive to stains, paints, and other finishes. These woods are perfect for homeowners looking to stretch their remodeling budget, or for those who have a high-traffic kitchen with kids or pets.
2. Hickory or Pecan
Hickory, also referred to as pecan, is a high quality mid-level wood that is dense, strong, and receptive to finishing. One of its most notable characteristics is its deep, flowing grain, which is perfect for homeowners looking for a rustic, traditional, or country style kitchen. Homeowners will also love the wide range of colors that can be found in hickory wood, varying from light cream-colored woods to reddish browns.
3. Cherry
Finally, homeowners looking for a truly high-end look should consider cherry. Cherry wood is highly sought after for its unique, deep reddish brown color. It has a very smooth, uniform grain and is very receptive to staining. Another great feature of cherry wood is that it darkens overtime, giving your kitchen or bathroom a deep, rich color that you won’t find with any other wood.
