Important design choices abound when it comes to home remodeling. For example, you’ll need to decide whether to match the cabinets in your kitchen and bathroom. The quick answer? It depends on several factors, including your home’s layout. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park, the premier cabinet refacing company in the area, discusses factors that can affect this particular design conundrum.

Proximity of the Two Spaces

How near is the bathroom to your kitchen? If the room is just off the kitchen, then it’s probably a good idea to match bathroom cabinets to those in the kitchen. This way, there’s a smooth design transition from one space to the next. But if your bathroom is off a different area in your home (or even on another floor), then you shouldn’t bother. 

Overall Style of the Kitchen & Bathroom

You don’t actually have to match the cabinets of both spaces precisely. The cabinets in a traditional farmhouse kitchen, for example, would look completely out of place in your sleek contemporary bathroom. But if you still want to tie both spaces together, pick the same color for the cabinets. Neutral colors in white, cream or beige are great choices. 

Another great idea is to choose a cabinet door that’s versatile enough that it works for both the kitchen and bathroom. There are transitional cabinet door styles available that can make your choice easier. These may include:

• Flat panel, which comes with a flat center panel and raised outer edges. These cabinet doors give a clean and simple look that will match both traditional and contemporary kitchens.

• Raised panel, which has a raised center panel with a surrounding profile or contour. Its flexible design lends itself perfectly to any kitchen or bathroom style.

Cost Efficiency

If you’re investing in a major home renovation, there are cost efficiencies to choosing the same cabinetry for the kitchen and bathroom. For one thing, it simplifies the ordering process, production and delivery of materials. But again, you have to make sure both spaces are in close proximity (and look close enough design-wise) that using the same cabinets will allow for a more cohesive and seamless look.
