The kitchen is one of the biggest investments in the house so it's important to use your hard earned cash wisely when buying new kitchen cabinets. If you've got an open plan interior on your ground floor then chances are that your cabinets are viewable almost as soon as you enter the door and can make an impact on the overall design and feel of your home.

Kitchen cabinets are subject to trends so whilst your glossy red cabinets may be “of the moment” chances are that five years down the line, they will look totally outdated. With this in mind, it can pay you to choose a classical design of kitchen cabinet, especially if you're not planning for this to be your forever home. Classical styles, such as shaker kitchen cabinets, are timeless and have a wide appeal, which is important when it comes to selling your property.

There are so many other things to consider when choosing kitchen cabinetry, and here's some of the most important:

* Materials

* Style of door

* Door mounting

* Finish

* Hardware
