Questions to ask when selecting boards, finishes and fittings. The right choice depends on your specific floor plan, lifestyle and site conditions. Here is a practical approach to getting the details right.

Know where moisture is present

Kitchen and utility surfaces face different moisture conditions from bedroom cabinetry.

Check finish durability

Ask suppliers about cleaning, scratch resistance and edge treatment.

Compare hardware warranties

Hinges and drawer runners should match load, frequency of use and service support.

Request actual material samples

View samples in natural and artificial lighting before approving a final finish.

Questions to discuss with your designer

  • What are the measurements, daily routines and main pain points?
  • Which materials, fixtures and finishes are appropriate for the project?
  • What is included in the written quotation and what is excluded?
  • How will design approvals and site coordination be handled?
