How to Choose Oak Kitchen Cabinets

Who does not love the look of oak kitchen cabinets? The Oak Collection allows you to add solid wood kitchen cabinets to your home at an affordable price. The raised panels give the doors more stability and make them less likely to warp and crack. Additionally, the hinges are semi-concealed.

Available Colors

Oak is so versatile you can put almost any color on it. You can keep it in its natural state to let the wood shine through.

• In the Premier collection, think traditional and warm.

• Honey is more of a lighter color, which accents the golden tones.

• Cherry is a deep warm red color.

Adding Hardware to Compliment the Oak Cabinets

Your cabinets will look naked in your kitchen without the proper accents such as hinges and drawer and door pulls. Many love the way aged nickel looks against the oak cabinets and bronze looks fabulous as well. If your budget simply cannot afford aged nickel or bronze, then brass hardware may be what you’re looking for. In any case, you will want to throw out the plastic.

If you are on a very tight budget, go to estate sales and garage sales. You can pull off the hardware from old cabinets and drawers and get a real eclectic look. The point is the Oak Collection needs something other than plastic or wood to jazz up the look.

Matching Accents to Complement Your Oak Kitchen Cabinets

You spent all the time and effort on picking out the ideal cabinets, now you need to put in the time and effort on making sure everything else matches.

Floors

Oak is so versatile which is why so many people love oak cabinets. Try matching the oak with classic black and white checkered flooring. This can take the kitchen in so many directions. For example, for a country living look, add yellow curtains along with a simple, small, yellow checkered wallpaper. Add some other favorite personal accents to make it feel like home.

If you prefer white flooring, then you will want to choose more of a cream or beige color in your cabinetry. However, you do not want to get stuck on a basic white. Think outside of the box and think about complementary colors that match the kitchen.

Appliances

• Black appliances will give your home a formal look.

• Stainless steel gives a professional and sleek look.

• White appliances give a homey and traditional look.

• Bold colors add drama to a kitchen.

• Neutral colors give an air of quiet sophistication.
