Italian Kitchen Cabinets

Italy is known best for food and wine, fondness for the good life, and cutting-edge sense of style—all of which have given rise to two popular looks in kitchen cabinetry. Whether you long for the look of Tuscany or the sleek, smooth lines of Milan, these types of cabinets can give you exactly what you want. Here’s what you need to get started.

Costs

The cost of Italian-style cabinets depends on the scope of design, materials chosen and cabinet size. The solid wood used to make Tuscan country cabinets, for instance, will most likely cost more than the metal commonly used to make Italian-contemporary cabinets. Talk to a local contractor to get more specific price quotes for your kitchen.

Durability

The durability of both cabinet styles depends on the materials used. However, Tuscan country cabinets are known for being heavy and sturdy because of their solid wood construction, so they are likely to last longer than regular Italian cabinets.

Maintenance

Again, the maintenance required usually depends on the materials of your cabinets, but most only require an occasional wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaning solution of dishwashing detergent and warm water. Always dry afterwards and try to avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
