NYC
Kitchen Cabinets |
Your Manhattan
kitchen is truly the heart of your home—whether
you’ve got a sprawling Tribeca Loft or a sleek one bedroom
on Central Park West. The kitchen in NY and abroad is where we
gather for family meals or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee alone before
work. Its functions are social and aesthetic—functional and
relaxing; this is why the choices you make during the NYC remodeling
process can affect your family’s mood and functionality for
years to come.
Aside from obtaining building approval and architectural advice,
deciding to revamp your kitchen in Manhattan is a huge endeavor.
While most people focus exclusively on considerations like countertops
and flooring for their NY homes, the cabinets in your NYC
kitchen actually have the most striking visual impact on your overall design.
They basically add a “face” to the room while also
providing the utilitarian function of storing supplies and equipment.
In addition, with NYC’s smaller flow-through spaces, the
NY kitchen cabinets you choose may be the only aspect of the kitchen
visible from the living or dining area.
From re-facing your current NYC
kitchen cabinets to installing
stock or even sleek European custom designed cabinets, there’s
literally something for every budget and every sensibility. Re-facing
a kitchen cabinet in New York City simply involves removing and
refinishing or replacing cabinet doors and is the most budget-conscious
choice. If you’ve got an older pre-war apartment with original
wood cabinets, it can be a nice touch to keep period details intact.
But if the old NYC kitchen
cabinets simply aren’t usable
or just don’t fit with your Manhattan condo’s sleek
urban look, consider installing custom cabinetry. NY
custom kitchen cabinetry allows you to ensure the cabinets fit your family’s
needs and your space’s constraints while maintaining the
design you’ve been dreaming about.
If you’re seeking a traditional wood look for your home,
there is a wide variety of custom cabinetry to choose from in New
York and beyond. Most traditional
kitchen cabinets New Yorkers
have to choose from are wooden boxes with face frames attached
to the front, leaving part of the frame visible under the door.
Common wood choices for both frame and/or face include alder, cherry,
beech, hickory, oak, walnut and maple. Or, you can also select
paint-friendly wood to coordinate with both you kitchen and apartment’s
existing décor. Cabinet door styles include slab, recessed
panel, raised panel, or routed (medium density fiberboard).
If you’re looking for a more modern or contemporary look,
however, choose a full overlay cabinet or a frameless instead of
a traditional face frame. In a full overlay or frameless cabinet,
the cabinet door covers the entire frame. This offers more of a
sleek European look and characterizes a lot of imported custom
cabinetry. MyHome even carries its own custom cabinetry line to
rival any European brand.
Other European styles are more unique and perfectly suited to NYC’s
chic kitchen sensibility. Many modern European designers are focusing
on wedding an ergonomically modern workstation with an attractive
functional storage space while still maintaining the streamlined
look hip urban dwellers crave.
A new trend is to install open shelving cabinets solo or adjacent
to traditional cabinets as a way to display attractive cookware,
elegant dishes or prized cookbooks.
