Rethinking Your Kitchen Cabinets

It’s invigorating to see homeowners consider design trends and incorporate them into their homes.  A feature that’s becoming more commonplace within the home is swapping out kitchen cabinets with open style shelving.  If you’ve been hemming and hawing about whether or not to embrace this concept, we’ve got a few reasons why you should try it.

Showcasing Your Dinnerware: One of the most appealing reasons for purchasing your own home is to be in complete control of your surroundings.  Oftentimes with new home ownership means swapping out the hand-me-down dishes from your college days in favor of something a little more sophisticated from a designer whose name you may or may not be able to pronounce.  Open kitchen shelving allows these pieces to be displayed more than just on special occasions.

An Inviting Environment for Guests: It never seems like you’re got enough hands when you’re entertaining a houseful of guests.  Even if they’re just showcasing the most commonly sought after items like wine glasses and coffee mugs, open shelves allow visitors to easily access what they need in your kitchen without having to dig.

Giving the Illusion of More Space: Just as vertical stripes make a person appear taller, open shelving that reaches the ceiling make a room feel more sizable.  Do know that this approach can be counterintuitive if the shelving is cluttered.

Avoiding Sticker Shock: When it comes to remodeling a kitchen, it’s no secret that the biggest expenditure is cabinetry.  Opting for open shelving in your kitchen allows you to breathe new life into the space without harrowing costs.

Adding a Splash of Color: Most of us will admit to opting for neutral colors in our kitchen flooring, countertops and appliances in order to extend their lifespan as long as possible.  Open shelving allows you to introduce splashes of color with the pieces you exhibit because they are more cost effective to swap out than big ticket items.  Exciting colors and patterns can also be introduced by removing your current cabinet’s doors and placing a fabric backing on the back wall of the cabinets.

Forced Organization: Open kitchen shelving puts everything out there…literally.  That means no more stashing away messes.  If you’ve needed the extra prompt to make this happen, open style cabinets & shelving are the way to go!

Delivering exceptional service is our No. 1 priority. Read these happy reviews from homeowners who were blown away by their home improvement experience with Lindus Construction.

"I was very impressed that Lindus sent a safety inspector on day one and a quality inspector at the end. I did not expect this but sincerely appreciate this attention to detail. All of this demonstrates how Lindus stands by its work and differentiates Lindus from other firms. I would definitely consider Lindus for any future exterior needs."

"Over the past 18 years and 4 separate major home improvement projects, Lindus Construction has exceeded every one of our family’s expectations on each of these projects. Whenever anyone invests in home improvement, the homeowner’s concerns ultimately center on several critical factors: the ultimate quality of the final product, ease of working with the firm, honest communication and relationships, craftsmanship of the employees, timeliness, service after the sale, and of course, a manageable investment cost. We are proud to say that the Lindus team has been an outstanding partner in improving our house’s function, appearance, and market value."

"I did two big projects in 2023 with Lindus. First was removing and replacing attic insulation plus creating proper ventilation. Second was replacing roof and adding LeafGuard®. Did everything go perfectly? No but that is where a company shows its merits. All issues were resolved! I even received a check for unused supplies. I highly recommend Lindus. They are not the cheapest. You get what you pay for."

"Lindus Construction is a company that provides the best possible workmanship, professionalism and customer service for each and every project. Lindus Construction is a great choice for roofing, siding, windows, doors, decking and LeafGuard® Gutter projects or any combination of those projects. Small jobs such as garden sheds to large homeowner associations with multiple buildings they are able to handle it."

"We are quite pleased with the way our project went. The Lindus folks have successfully managed to instill a culture of quality and customer service in throughout the entire business, which is rare these days.  Everyone we worked with carried that same attitude of wanting to do it right and make us happy. The installation went well and we are very satisfied."
