If you’re thinking of getting custom cabinets for your home, one question that you may be asking yourself is whether or not the kitchen and the bathroom cabinets should match. This is an important question

Making Decisions Based on Colour and Design

You don’t necessarily need to have cabinets that match completely between rooms. However, there is a benefit to having certain colours or design elements throughout the home.

Continuity throughout a home can improve its overall impression. Not only does it make the home feel more thoughtful and complete, but it also helps make everything feel more calming and complete. It’s nice to have a synergy of colours and designs throughout a home to tie everything together and make it feel as though everything in the house works with everything else.

This isn’t just important if you are planning on selling your home in the near future, but it can also make it more comfortable and soothing to live in the home. Using similar design elements or colours in the kitchen and bathroom can create a more soothing environment.

Deciding Factors:

Of course, every house is unique and that means the style of each home is unique as well. There is no hard and fast “rule” that says your bathroom and kitchen cabinets should or shouldn’t match.

If you’re not sure what to do, here are a few factors to keep in mind.

• Your Home Design Elements
• Think about the other design elements in your home other than the cabinets. Are there similar or complementary colours throughout both rooms? If there are design elements that carry through the house and tie it all together, you may not want to have matching cabinets as well. Choosing something different for each room could personalize the spaces.
•  How Close are the Bathroom and Kitchen
• You may want to have kitchen cabinets that match your bathroom cabinets if the two rooms are very close to one another. However, if your kitchen is on the main floor and the bathroom is upstairs, this question doesn’t matter as much.
• Wall Colours
•   As mentioned, having similar colours in both rooms will give your home the flow and feel you’re looking for without the need for matching cabinets.
• Room Personalization vs. Theme Aesthetics
• Different people have different tastes. Think about what matters more to you, the personalization of each room versus the overall aesthetics of your home. Would you prefer to have each room stand alone? Or do you desire a place where everything feels like part of a larger whole? This is your home, and the choice is yours.
• Your Budget
• It’s often more cost effective to choose the same cabinets for the kitchen and bathroom if you’re renovating both at the same time. If you have a limited budget for these projects, using matching cabinets can help keep costs down.
• However, if you only want to renovate one room, you don’t need to feel pressured to change the cabinets in both just so they match.
