When you’re looking to give your kitchen cabinets a new look and feel, the choices can be overwhelming. You’re no longer satisfied with the same basic cabinets that came with the house, but don’t know where to start in making the best selection for your home. Cabinet refinishing is an affordable way to add style and character to any room – so what materials are available? In this post, we’ll explore several cabinet material options and provide tips on choosing which one works best for you!

Cabinet Materials To Choose From

  • Oak. Choose from either red or white oak. Red is durable, strong, and has a stunning natural grain. White features a more subtle grain with a golden tone and is just as durable. 
  • Maple. Maple is characterized by its fine grain. It looks beautiful stained or left natural with a protective finish. It’s less dense than oak and often comes at a higher price point. 
  • Hickory. This light, pale yellow wood has unique grain and character and looks stunning when left natural, too. 
  • Cherry. Cherry is a highly durable choice that’s also elegant and versatile. It has a smooth, fine grain and reddish brown undertones that make it easy to spot in a lineup! 
  • Birch. If you’re looking for a less expensive substitute for cherry or maple, birch is a great option. It also has a fine grain but a slightly darker color and is just as durable. 
  • Ash. This light-colored wood is very durable and a popular choice for custom cabinetry. 
  • Pine. This pale yellow, softer wood tends to dent more easily but it stains well and is an excellent cost-effective choice.
