1. Think about the finish you want for your kitchen cabinets.
A very important element to give aesthetics to your kitchen is the finish of the cabinets as that will give a very important touch to make your kitchen stand out.

One of the most popular designs today is the touch-open drawers, which are a great help if you cook and bake a lot of complex things where you have to search for utensils very often. These drawers can also be very helpful when you have dirty hands, as you can open them by touching them with your arm or foot, thus reducing the number of times you need to wash your hands.
