Updating your old oak cabinets to a bright, modern kitchen? Just started a big renovation and have no idea how to get your dream cabinets? To keep it simple you’ve got a couple options - the ‘Quick and Easy’ route or the ‘Invest and You Shall be Rewarded’ route (or as we like to call it- the Heart Way). Let’s get into it...

The Quick & Easy Way:

• Just swap out the old cabinets for new ready-made cabinets

• Very little customization

• Easy to do it yourself

• Unforeseen issues may arise without consulting experts

• Relatively inexpensive

• A fast way to update the look of the space

• Will likely have to be redone down the road

• Layout of your space remains unchanged

• Essentially just a surface level ‘face lift’

• Short life expectancy of 5-10 years

Why you’d choose this way: you’re on a tight timeline, you’re doing a lower budget flip, the current layout and storage capacity works for you, you don’t want to invest a lot into the home, you're not staying in the home long term.

The Heart Way:

• The space is completely redesigned to fit your lifestyle and needs

• Completely custom cabinets

• Design experts are with you every step of the way

• High quality materials, low environmental impact

• Endless range of options means we can fit a range of budgets

• Integrated, high end appliances

• Vastly increases the value of the home

• Creates a more functional home overall, addresses awkward layouts and dysfunctional features

• The updates compliment the character of your home, and can be continued throughout (living room cabinetry, ensuite upgrade, laundry room reno etc.)

• Not a quick fix, it takes time to design the perfect space

• Will last 20-30 years and we’re always a call away for when your wild uncle breaks the bar fridge.

Why you’d choose this way: you understand the value of expert craftsmanship and quality materials, you want to increase the value of your home, you plan on staying in the home long term, you want local experts to lean on for guidance, you want a space that is perfect for you down to the custom drawer inserts.

Whether you’re renovating your home or building brand new you’ll have choose a route. There’s no right or wrong way and each have their merits, however one is a clear winner if you want to increase the value of your home and enjoy the fruits of your labor for decades to come.
