Custom Cabinets: Add Value and Distinction with Maple Kitchen Cabinets

  
  

Guaranteed to age well and improve with the years, solid maple wood has been one of the most sought after species for fine furniture makers since the early Colonial days.  According to Kitchen and Bath Business, Maple Kitchen Cabinets have been the most popular custom cabinet choice for kitchen interiors for the past five years.

When making a wood selection, it’s important to remember that each wood species has its own degree of durability, beauty, natural color, and characteristics. Maple is a dense, fine grade hardwood that is extremely versatile and durable. With the exquisite detail in its fine grain, maple can uniquely complement a wide variety of stains, paints, and washed paint techniques. Maple takes a neutral finish well; lighter stains bring out the natural golden color of the wood; darker more antique finishes can benefit from Maple’s light color and its ability to absorb and present a rich natural looking stain.

Lighter Finishes Set the Mood

Custom CabinetsMaple gives you the ability to create lighter kitchens with neutral tones that combine to create a warm, sophisticated style.  Working well with both modern and traditional home color palettes, you will find many maple kitchen cabinets today feature lighter stains as well as painted and washed painted cabinets. You can find striking painted Maple cabinets in light and/or bright colors such as whites, creams, earth-tone yellows, light greens, or browns. Also, a wide variety of lighter stains can be found that bring out the natural lighter characteristics of the wood.

Due to its ability to mix with furnishings and accessories from different fashion periods, lighter finished Maple is often the preferred choice for a wide assortment of cabinetry styles including Cottage, French Country, Tuscan, English Country, and Victorian.

Discover the Charm of Darker Finishes

Custom Cabinets You'll find that some quality Maple  cabinets are finished in darker tones combine with time-honored aging techniques to create striking, architecturally inspired furniture grade cabinetry. Some of the darker maple cabinet styles and applications utilized today include Aged, Rustic and other old world kitchen and refined furnishings looks—these designs are sometimes accented with darker stains and may employ distressed cabinet features such as burnishing, hand padding, joint cracks and corner/edge wear.



The Beauty of Glazed Maple Cabinets
