If your kitchen was a coffee, what would it be? Smooth, sophisticated espresso? Or just a cup of plain, ol' joe?

We know you want to inject a little refinement into your kitchen without the high-end price tag. You need our new Arlington Espresso Shaker cabinets.

Shaker cabinets might date back to the 18th century, but our new Arlington Espresso range brings them right up to date. They combine the classic lines of Shaker cabinetry with our rich, decadent espresso colorway. And the cost is more regular joe than fancy frappé.

Let's explore why these Shaker cabinets are the best choice for your kitchen reno.

Shaker Cabinets: Stylish, Yet Practical

Some design classics never go out of style. Just think of the Eames chair and anglepoise lamp. Shaker cabinets fit squarely in that category.

The Shaker style is clean and unfussy, looking contemporary although it's over 200 years old. The design ethos of the Shaker community was function over form. They rejected ornate styles, producing simple, clean designs.

However, as we do at Nuform Cabinetry, they focused on quality. With this obsession with high levels of craftsmanship, they also created a style that is elegant and timeless. It's also incredibly versatile, with the simple fascia style adapting perfectly to drawers and cabinets.

Why Espresso?

The choice of espresso coloring plants the kitchen firmly in the 21st century. Unlike some more clinical modern color choices, espresso exudes warmth. It emphasizes that the kitchen is the heart of the home.

Espresso straddles the delicate line between black and brown. It's neutral without being bland. It gives you endless possibilities to accessorize with hardware, wall color, and lighting.

It pairs extremely well with metallic components. Imagine brass or gold door hardware set against rich espresso. Another way to carry through this color pairing is with metallic light fittings.

For wall color options, espresso cabinets pair well with pastels. Think contrasting tones, such as pale mint green and blue-gray. These lighter tones can really make your cabinets pop.

Darker colored cabinets are also super-practical for families with young children. White and light-colored cabinets look great but are tough to keep clean. Espresso is more forgiving when touched by tiny hands.

The Benefit of Ready-to-Assemble Cabinets

Custom-designed kitchens look beautiful, but they come at a cost. When you update your kitchen with ready-to-assemble cabinets, you get the look without the eye-watering price tag.

The average cost of a kitchen reno stands at $14,000, but ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets can bring that cost down.

You might worry that choosing an RTA kitchen will limit your options. But the Arlington Espresso range gives you a vast amount of choice. No matter how small or large your kitchen, you'll find the right mix of cabinets.

Another benefit of a kitchen remodel with RTA cabinets is that you can install them yourself. If you are replacing like for like, it's a breeze to assemble and install these cabinets. They are also available ready assembled to make installation even easier.

Endless Cabinet Possibilities

Choosing Arlington Espresso Shaker cabinets makes kitchen design a breeze. They come in a huge range of options for base cabinets, wall cabinets, tall cabinets, and more.

Choosing ready-to-assemble for your kitchen renovation does not mean foregoing luxury fittings. Take the lazy susan base cabinet for example. This opens up so much practical storage space.

How about an x-style wall wine rack? There's no need for your microwave to take up precious counter space. We have both microwave shelves and built-in base cabinets with drawer options.

Make the most of awkward corners with a two-door angled base end cabinet. Hide the garbage away with a wastebasket base cabinet.

Luxury Hardware

The luxury feel of a kitchen should continue as you use it. No one wants cupboards and drawers that clatter shut. All our doors are fitted with 6-way adjustable concealed European style hinges with soft-close features.

Similarly, our drawers all use soft-closer drawer glides.

Choice of Molding

Give your kitchen cabinet remodel a sophisticated finish with a choice of molding options.

These include shoe molding, traditional crown molding, and simple Shaker-style crown molding.

The Advantage of a Timeless Kitchen

Kitchen fashions come and go. Five years down the line, you don't want to be stuck with a kitchen that is now extremely dated. That's why Shaker-style cabinetry is an excellent choice.

The espresso color is modern, but its warmth makes sure that it will have enduring appeal.

This is especially important if you're not sure this is your forever home. If you're thinking about selling your home in the next few years, have one eye on what prospective buyers are looking for.

An extremely contemporary kitchen may already be showing its age in a few years' time. On the other hand, classic Shaker cabinets in a contemporary colorway have almost universal appeal.

Arlington Espresso - The Best Choice for Your Kitchen Update

Refreshing your kitchen cabinetry is one of the best ways to breathe new life and sophistication into a tired kitchen. Shaker cabinets are so elegant and versatile they'll take your kitchen from run-down to resplendent.

The new espresso colorway is an instant classic. It combines the warmth of wood tones with a deep, contemporary, black/brown hue. Perfect whether it's your forever home or a fixer-upper.
