frontage of the kitchen cabinets is to paint them. Painted cabinets have a very smooth feel. There are usually no textures on painted cabinets, however there are some paints that can create texture on the wood. You can paint the cabinets of your kitchen in any color so matching the cabinets with the rest of the theme is a breeze if you are using painted cabinets. The second most popular finish for kitchen cabinets is polished cabinets. These cabinets are usually made of good quality wood and are only polished using lacquer. The polishing preserves the original form and texture of the wood. Polish makes the cabinets durable so that they can be used for many years. Polish has the advantage that you can apply a new layer of polish if the old one starts to wear off. Polishing cabinets is a pretty simple job for a skilled person, thus a very popular choice. Very similar to polish, is another technique that preserves the texture of the wood, it is varnishing. Varnishing applies a transparent coating on the wood for durability and shine. Varnishing differs from polishing in the way that polish can have any color. You can make the cabinets brown or tan using polishing but if you use varnish only the original color of the wood will be preserved. On the frontage of almost all cabinets are the knobs or handles. These are available in many different styles. Some people prefer chrome knobs while others like golden ones. This can be chosen according to the theme of the kitchen. Carvings are an important aspect of kitchen cabinets. You will see very few cabinets that have a completely straight façade; usually there is some carving or shape on the front of the cabinets. There are a number of options available in this regard and you can even get your own design translated into reality using custom or semi-custom cabinets. These have the advantage of specifying the design yourself. Glass is also popular in kitchen cabinets especially if the kitchen is attached to the living room or apartment. Using glass you can show the utensils and other items of the kitchen for style purposes. There are some glass cabinets that have a frame while some are with minimal frames. Both are equally popular.]]>
