With the right wood type, door style and finish, your kitchen remodel can be the highlight of your home. But if you’re looking for creative ways to customize your kitchen, and match its aesthetic to the rest of your home, Merillat has solutions for you. Here are 4 ways to add a personal touch when deciding on a kitchen remodel.

1. CONTRASTING BACK

Available for a variety of door styles, contrasting backs can add color where you least expect it. They can stand alone as is, or you can highlight them with a glaze such as Aegean, Daffodil, Cadet or Envy Glaze.

2. DECORATIVE HARDWARE

There are seemingly endless options when it comes to your cabinets’ hardware. From pewter knobs to bronze pulls, hardware can be as intricate or as minimalist as you’d like, while still fitting in with your kitchen’s aesthetic. Mixing and matching metals and materials is a popular design trend this year, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

3. GLASS DOORS

Glass doors add understated elegance to cabinetry and come in a variety of insert types, ranging from timeless classic to metallic and textured glass.

4. LIGHTING

Illuminate the contents of your cabinets with puck lights,  light strips, or built-in lighting. Lighting options, integrating into cabinetry or shelving, is perfect for creating a dramatic, yet warm ambiance in your kitchen.
