Communicating with design professionals such as cabinet designers and cabinet makers are sometimes a hit or a miss. The communication line between your ideas and the designer's perception are sometimes not meeting halfway. So for homeowners to clearly express what cabinets they aim for their home, Houzz will help you bridge that gap and make your designers understand what you want.
1. Know What you Want
This mainly points out on conceptualizing what you want for your cabinet. Check out magazines, catalogs, interior design websites and gather all ideas that you want for your cabinet. This is important because this is where a cabinet designer will also get his layout and design.
Another thing that you need to consider is the function of the cabinet, will this be for storage only? Or does this cabinet serve as a highlight of the home? What are the details that you want to see for the cabinet?
2. Picking your Cabinet Designer
When choosing your Cabinet Designer, you should check out his/her design credentials- the projects he had accomplished, his portfolio, his design virtue. You also need to ask what his design process is, you need to gain knowledge on how he works and if that would fit in your needs.
3. Listen to The Expert Advice
This is sometimes missed out by many homeowners and that is the opportunity to listen to the expert's advice. This is important for you to know the best cabinet for your home.
Pro Tip: "Ask for your designer's advice, given what he or she knows about your vision and your needs. A good designer will have a method, and you need to be willing to let him or her take the lead, and to listen to this pro on the path to creation."
