Portland Cabinets
There are many things that can make or break a bathroom. Along with lighting, flooring, and counters, the look and feel of the space is highly dependent on your cabinetry and bathroom fixtures. Portland is a city where space counts, and even those with limited bathroom square footage can often gain huge improvements with a few little changes to their cabinets and fixtures. Whether you are in the market for a full bathroom makeover or would just like to make a couple small (but noticeable!) changes, your cabinets and fixtures are a great place to begin.
Fixtures for Efficiency
In a city as progressive as Portland, OR, bathroom fixtures are best when they are as efficient as they are attractive. With all of the improvements that have been made to faucets, shower heads, and toilets, there is really no reason to hold onto old, inefficient, outdated bathroom fixtures. Portland homeowners looking to conserve water without spending a bundle should consider upgrading all faucets and shower heads to newer models that provide the same amount of pressure while using a fraction of the water. If you're in the market for a full bathroom remodel, there are few cities more accepting of dual-flush and composting toilets than Portland! Bathroom fixtures are prime locations for conserving water, but if you think that efficiency is all new fixtures can offer, you're really only seeing the tip of the iceberg!
Fixtures for Increasing Space
As is the case in most U.S. cities, many Portland bathrooms are a little too cramped for comfort. Especially in older neighborhoods, much of this cramping is due to poor sink, shower, tub, and toilet placement. Often, removing an old tub and replacing it with a modern shower stall or moving the location of the sink to optimize floor space will give your bathroom a more appealing look and make it a more comfortable room to occupy. While it is certainly a little more expensive to rearrange or eliminate certain bathroom fixtures, Portland homeowners may gain the difference in cost back in added resale value.
Cabinets and Storage
Poor fixture selection and placement aren't the only causes of cramped bathroom spaces! Cabinets and storage areas play a huge role in how open a bathroom feels. Though it may look like a hopeless cause, there may be a number of creative ways to increase your bathroom storage or to maintain your current storage capacity while opening up the feel and space of the room. Rule Number One: Go high. Wall cabinets, built-in cabinets, and over-toilet space-saver cabinets tend to be the optimal location for bathroom cabinetry. If possible, eliminate bulky and unbecoming cabinets beneath your sink. If you can't go high, often the next best thing is to look at the corners of your bathroom. Sinks, cabinets, and shower stalls that can be pushed into the corners help you make sure every last inch of your bathroom is enhancing the function and look of the room.
Refreshing the Look of Your Cabinets in Portland, OR
The problem with your bathroom cabinets may not be adequate storage at all, but the faded, tattered, or outdated look of your cabinetry set. A relatively new city, Portland is entering an era where a whole slew of homes are beginning to see their first real need for bathroom remodeling. Plus, the high moisture level of the Pacific Northwest can wreak havoc on several features of a home. Combined with the innate presence of water and moisture in the bathroom, even if your ventilation system has spared your drywall, wood cabinets may have begun to warp or otherwise deteriorate. Solid wood cabinets are a real investment for your homenot only do they look great, but they also have several lives.
Types and Installation
Of course, if you want to redesign the layout of your bathroom cabinetry or have never particularly cared for your current cabinets, maybe you're ready for something radically different, be it solid wood, wood veneer, or particleboard. To this extent, you can head over to the airport and walk through the showroom floors of IKEA-Portland. Keep in mind, though, that everything looks great on a showroom floor, but it doesn't always translate in your home. Top-of-the-line cabinets come from custom cabinet makers who will design and build cabinets tailored to the specific dimensions of your bathroom, an aspect of cabinet design largely uncaptured in the open retail showroom. Of course, there are also any number of options that lie between custom-built cabinets and IKEA manufacturing. You can order stock cabinets built to specific dimensions (also called semi-stock cabinets) from many manufacturers and have a cabinet installation professional or handyman install these cabinets for you. In the end, it boils down to how stunning you want your cabinetry to be and what you can afford.
Cost of Cabinets in Portland, OR
Naturally, there can be a huge difference in price between stock cabinets and hiring a custom cabinet maker, but it's difficult to predict how much difference. If you're even the least bit unsure of which way you want to go, you should solicit estimates from both types of cabinet professionals, along with taking a trip to a local retail store. Between the different types of cabinets and the size of your project, we've seen new cabinets cost as little as a couple hundred dollars all the way up to several thousand. (A full set of custom kitchen cabinets can cost upwards of $25,000!) In general, you get what you pay for, so do your homework and stay patient to get the most bang for your buck.
