Six things to keep in mind when replacing your cabinets are:

• Consider your budget. The first step is to establish a budget for your new cabinets.
• Brand matters.
• Not all cabinets are created equal.
• Opt for built-in storage.
• Color is important. 
• Donate old cabinets.

A general guide to ensure you have enough kitchen storage space is to allow two cupboards for each adult and one for each child.

Top-quality cabinets can last for up to 50 years.

Cabinets should be 18 inches (one foot, six inches) from the countertop. They should be no less than 15 inches away and no more than 20 inches. This is the height from where the bottom of your upper cabinet starts.

Empty and clear all cabinets and drawers for easier installation and to avoid getting dust on your items. Store all fragile and valuable items in a safe place away from the kitchen to avoid damage.

A recent study by HomeLight revealed that more than 60% of real estate agents suggest using white, light gray, or greige (a blend of gray and beige) for kitchen cabinets to enhance a property's resale value.
