5 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Kitchen Cabinets in Edmonton

Your kitchen is the heart of your home but choosing the right cabinets is more than just picking a style. At Blue Ribbon Millwork, we specialize in custom cabinetry that balances function, design, and durability for Edmonton homeowners. Here’s what to consider before your remodel:

1. Function Comes First
 A beautiful kitchen is useless if it doesn’t work for your lifestyle. Are you a gourmet chef needing space for multiple appliances? Do you have heirloom dishes that require glass-front cabinets? Take inventory of what you need to store, display, or access frequently. Our designers integrate custom organizers, pull-out shelves, and hidden storage accessories to make every inch functional.

2.Match Your Desired Style
 Cabinet door style and finish set the tone of your kitchen. Traditional? Opt for ornate details, glazing, and darker stains. Transitional or modern? Our Shaker style cabinets or sleek frameless designs create a clean, timeless look. Blue Ribbon Millwork offers custom finishes painted, stained, or mixed to perfectly match your vision.

3. Choose the Right Wood
 Wood type affects durability, appearance, and longevity. Popular options include cherry, with warm red undertones ideal for stained cabinets, and maple, lighter with uniform grain perfect for painted or stained finishes. Our team helps you select wood that fits both your design and your lifestyle.

4. Framed vs. Frameless
 Traditional American cabinets use a face frame for strength and stability. Frameless cabinets, popular in European designs, provide a sleek, modern look. Blue Ribbon Millwork offers both options, customized to your space and functional needs.

5. Work With Experts
 Selecting cabinets is overwhelming especially if you want them to last for decades. Our Edmonton based designers guide you from concept to installation, ensuring your kitchen is both functional and beautiful.
