If you are a do-it-yourselfer who likes to shop online, you can save money when you design your own kitchen and buy your cabinets from an Internet retailer. As with everything, first you need a budget. Then you need to decide whether you are going with ready-to-assemble or semi-custom cabinets. Ready-to-assemble cabinets are cheaper and are usually in stock. Semi-custom cabinets offer a lot more options, and take around 4 weeks to be manufactured and delivered. Once you know what you’re looking for, you can search for an online retailer.
As with any online store, there are things that you can look for to give you confidence buying your cabinets online. First, how long has the site been around? Longevity in the business world means a lot. Most sites have an “about us” page that provides historical information.
There are also a number of seals that can provide information. A BBB seal provides a link to a page with additional information about a business including: length of membership and overall rating. You should also look for an SSL certificate, which allows secure credit card transactions. A domain seal provides domain validation, letting customers know that they are the owner of the domain and the business. Other seals let customers know what type of payments the retailer is authorized to accept such as PayPal or Google.
USHomeProducts has been selling kitchen cabinets online for more than 6 years and is a member of the Better Business Bureau with an A rating. USHomeProducts proudly displays the Comodo seal which ensures that the transaction is secure for up to $250,000 and that your identity is secure. The GoDaddy seal on USHomeProducts lets customers know that we are the owner of the domain and business. USHomeProducts also displays seals from Google and PayPal, letting customers know that they are authorized to take these kind of payments, as well as Authorize.net, the largest merchant provider on the Internet, which allows the site to take credit cards directly. USHomeProducts also displays the Comodo UserTrust seal that allows customers to review the site and leave feedback. Retailers like USHomeProducts go to great lengths to make customers feel confident shopping on their sites. Consumers should look for these seals to help them choose an online retailer wisely.
When it comes to kitchen counters, don’t just think cosmetic, think functionality. Though laminate counter tops are probably the most economical, they are also the least durable. In an environment filled with knives and hot pots, laminate counter tops may not be able to stand up to the job. There are also a number of solid surfaces to choose from, though these can scratch and may not be as heat tolerant as other materials.
Tile, though not as popular as it once was, is durable and easy to clean. There are a variety of options available in both ceramic and granite. This is also a less expensive option.
Granite is probably one of the most popular counter top materials right now. There are a wide variety of colors and patterns to choose from and granite is extremely heat-resistant. You can set hot pots or pans directly on the surface. However, granite is porous and must be sealed once a year to resist stains and bacteria.
Engineered stone counter tops are another popular option. They are non-porous, so they don’t have to be sealed, as well as heat- and scratch-resistant. They also come in a myriad of color choices. A couple more contemporary options include stainless steel and concrete. Both are pricey options.
Though budget is a driving factor in any kitchen remodel, don’t forget to consider functionality. If you cook a lot or have kids, a counter top that is scratch- and heat-resistant may be worth it in the long run!

Whether used as task lighting or accent lighting, under-cabinet lighting can add functionality and detail to your kitchen remodel. The two most common styles of under-cabinet lighting are puck and linear. Puck lights are round or oval and are good for cabinet and display lighting. Puck lights can create scallops, spots, or pools of lighting instead of even illumination across the counter top. Linear lights can come as a light strip or as a linear fixture or light bar. Linear fixtures resemble small puck lights on one mounting strip.
The way a majority of kitchen cabinets are made makes it very easy to install under cabinet lights. There is usually a recessed area that is about the depth of most under-cabinet lights, so they do not project beyond the bottom plane of the cabinets.
When it comes to under-cabinet lighting, you can either go with plug-in units or hard-wired. Plug-in units are easier to install. Simply attach the fixture to the underside of the upper cabinet and plug into a nearby outlet. These can be a good choice if you only have a small area to illuminate, as long as you don’t have a problem with exposed wires. A hard-wired system is usually more attractive, as there is no exposed wiring, but is also more difficult to install. If you are doing a complete kitchen remodel, this is a great time to pre-wire for under-cabinet lighting.
Whether it is used to illuminate a work area, provide additional ambient light or is used as accent lighting, under-cabinet lighting adds a nice touch to any kitchen remodel.

The faucet is an integral part of your kitchen. Not only does it have to be functional, it should set the style, whether that’s modern, classic or country. There is no shortage of shapes, sizes, designs and finishes to suit any décor. Once you’ve determined the style and color of the faucet, you will want to check the number of holes needed for proper installation. From there, you’ll want to consider your handle options and spout height and reach.
There are a number of handle options available. Single handle kitchen faucets provide the convenience of one-handed use. Two-handle kitchen faucets require three or more holes of a sink or countertop and work well with traditional or period-style kitchens. Pull-out kitchen faucets have a faucet that pulls out with the touch of a button and a water pattern that switches from regular to flow spray. These can be a nice alternative to a separate sprayer. For antique kitchens, you may want to consider a wall-mount faucet. This is a unique style that requires no deck holes, as it actually mounts to the wall above the sink. Pot filler faucets are a “must have” for avid cooks. A pot filler is a cold water faucet that is installed in addition to a regular kitchen faucet and mounts to the wall behind a stove or on a countertop near the stove. It is used to fill a pot that is already positioned on the stovetop.
Spout height and reach should also be considered when choosing a faucet. A high-arch faucet provides plenty of room between the bottom of the sink and the spot. These types of faucets are convenient for washing large pots or oversized dishes. Standard arch faucets, generally 3-5 inches, are best for smaller sinks. Spout reach is generally determined by the size of the sink. If you have a double-bowl sink, be sure that the faucet can reach both bowls.
If you have extra holes in your sink, you may want to consider a hot water dispenser, filtered water or soap dispenser. Remember, your kitchen faucet will be used often. Take the time to choose something that will not only look good, but will meet your functional needs as well.
