With the growing amount of innovation in home design, it’s hard to imagine a kitchen without cabinets. The cabinets are not only highly functional but also enhance the cosmetic appeal of a modern kitchen. However, for quite a long time, we have been using the traditional cabinets with pull-out drawers but in recent times, even the overhead lift systems are gaining popularity. But to make the right choice between the overhead systems and the traditional drawers, we must have an overview of the features of each of the types.
In this blog, we shall take up a comparative study between the two types so that you can take an informed decision.
Aesthetics
The traditional cabinets with pull-out doors are indeed more common than the overhead lift systems. But to ensure that such cabinets look elegant and stylish, the homeowners should choose the right material and design. The good news is even though such cabinets are quite common you can get plenty of options among them. In fact, with a well-thought-out design, even traditional cabinets can be given a unique look.
On the other hand, the lift-up cabinets despite being not commonplace have alluring aesthetics associated with them. They not only look great but they can be highly space-saving as well. Specifically, due to their unique style, the lift-up cabinets bear a style statement of their own.
Space Saving
Are you worried because you have a comparatively smaller kitchen? Forget all your worries and opt for overhead lift systems. They are perfect for smaller kitchens. The reason is that one of the biggest problems with traditional kitchen cabinets is that their door requires more space to be opened fully. But with the lift-up systems, there is no reason to worry about such a problem. The lift-up systems never come in the way of each other and do not obstruct space, also, they have a special mechanism to keep their door in position even when they are open.
Smooth Operation
However, if you are in the habit of using the traditional cabinets, initially you may find it difficult to use the overhead lift systems. But with some time of usage, you can easily get used to the operation of the lift-up systems. The use of lift-up systems is easier than the traditional ones. Usually, the doors of the lift-up systems come with a button, which may be used to open the door. But the problem with the lift-up systems is that it might be difficult for the ones with short height to open the doors.
Cost
Mostly the price of the cabinets depends on the material that is used to build them. And there is a wide choice available from which you might choose the one that is most appealing as well as cost-effective based on your budget. But again, even if both the types are made with the same material, the lift-up systems are costlier due to the extra hardware that goes in the lift-up systems.
Last and not least, before jumping at a decision on a particular type of cabinet, you should weigh its pros and cons carefully to make the right choice.
