Cherry commonly comes in varying mid and dark shades that can be of light browns, fused with tints of reds, to sumptuous chocolaty darkness; but is also available in white. Many people opt for clear stains to let the innate appeal of the material shine and others also choose to make the tone richer according to taste. Its smoothness and consistent grain makes it easily and perfectly fit whatever kitchen design scheme from elegant to rustic, modern to classic and everything in between. Cherry kitchen cabinets also darken with time and exposure to light, making them all the more appealing as they age with your home.

Precautions

Like all other materials, it takes some measure of precaution to ensure that your investment works out for you and your kitchen and last a good deal of time.

First off, to make your cherry cabinets look as gorgeous and be as durable as they should, leave the job to an experienced and skilled contractor (if you are not one).

As mentioned, cherry tend to darken with light so if yours is a kitchen layout that have cabinets exposed to direct sunlight this can cause inconsistency in the tones of your cabinetry. You can make arrangements with your contractor on how to go about things. You can either have mixed media, relocate some cabinet units or other creative solutions your contractor can suggest.

There may come a time when damage gives rise to the need to replace some doors, drawer fronts or other cabinet parts. With the rest of the cabinetry already aged and richer in color, replacement can be difficult. But with a contractor who specializes in tinting wood to help the replacements complement well with the rest, this task is not impossible.
