Designing a modular home with decorative hardware

Posted on September 29th, 2009 by in Decorative Cabinet Hardware

A modular home is much like a traditional home on the outside. The only difference being that it is not built on the site of the home. Instead it is built in sections at a factory and transported to the site of the home. Modular home sales are up because not only does this method of building save on time and money but is also economical on the raw materials. The process is done under climate controlled conditions, leaving little room for delay. Major rooms where storage is an issue are also easily worked on with this type of home. The cabinets and the door hardware can be fitted for optimum space utilization. Since the entire storage space is also built in the factory you can customize your cabinets to fit your kitchen or closet. Cabinetry can be remodeled, dismantled and reassembled with the utmost ease. Whether your home is built in a traditional american style or a Italian or French style, there is a variety of room decor to go with it, right from cabinets to door knobs. Look for companies like Emtek, Schlage and Fusion Navajo which specialize in cabinetry and door hardware to go with your home decor.

The range and variety of the accessories for your closets and cabinets is vast. From metals like brass, copper and bronze to stainless steel, there is not only different materials but various finishes that come with it like matte, satin nickel and oil brushed metal finish. Depending on the home decor and the style of the house you can choose Tuscan style bathroom knobs and levers or go for contemporary, wrought iron appliance handles or door handle sets.
