Overview

There are many high-quality cabinet woods to choose from. Walnut is a hardwood, one that has a bold grain and a color variation of creamy-white and dark brown. Because of the color, walnut wood can be used in a variety of settings, from classic to modern and all in between. Modern walnut is considered high-end wood because it’s not usually as readily available as other wood types. It’s true, however, that walnut wood is easier to work with than other woods. To emphasize walnut’s true beauty, one must use it in their cabinets. The light finish and natural color variations are great for creating a consistent and classic look. Maple is another popular hardwood, one that’s usually cream-colored and boasting of a fine and smooth grain. Maple is ideal in traditional, transitional, and contemporary settings, and it can be used in modern homes as well to accentuate a space. When using maple, you must make sure it accommodates door styles, finishes, and surrounding design elements. Maple is readily available and working with it is easy. Because it has a fine grain, maple can be stained or painted to achieve beautiful results. It also goes great with tiles!
