Installing new cabinets can transform your entire kitchen. Whether you want a new aesthetic or need better storage—or both—new cabinet installation can completely change the way you use your kitchen. At Cabinet Depot, we can help you choose cabinet styles that fit your kitchen and your personal preferences. But before you start transforming your kitchen, there are a few things that you need to do first to prepare for new cabinet installation.
Here’s what you should do to prepare to install new kitchen cabinets.
Measure your space.
The first thing you need to do is measure the space. Different cabinet styles take up space differently, depending on how they need to be installed. Whether you are doing the installation yourself or having someone do it for you, you’ll need precise measurements to ensure that everything fits correctly and the way you expect. It’s important to measure the height, width, and depth of the space so that you know which cabinet styles will fit in your kitchen.
Choose your cabinets.
Once you’ve completed the measurements, you can move on to the fun part, choosing your cabinets! You’ll want to consider not just the size and style, but also the color and material. If you want to paint your cabinets, look at materials and styles that are easy to sand and paint. If you prefer natural wood, there are also many varieties to choose from. But you won’t just be selecting the cabinet doors. The cabinet boxes are also important. Different materials will be lighter or heavier than others, and some box styles may not be within your budget.
Prepare your kitchen.
Before you get started on your new cabinet installation, the last step is to prepare your kitchen. Empty your cabinets (this is a great opportunity to have a good clear-out), and then remove them from the walls. If the cabinet style you chose is heavier than what you have now, you may need to install braces or supports to ensure that everything stays in place.
