The short answer in the debate between gloss vs. stain for cabinets is it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Cabinetry is usually the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel, frequently making up 30% to 40% of the overall costs. Cabinets require a lot of materials and are time-consuming to install. However, you can save significantly by refinishing or refacing existing dated cabinets that are still in good working order. Appliances, countertops, and flooring are the other costly elements to budget for. 

It is much more cost-effective to purchase semi-custom and stock cabinets than to build custom cabinets. You’ll pay between $500 and $1,200 per linear foot for custom cabinets, $100 to $650 per linear foot for semi-custom, and $100 to $300 per linear foot for stock cabinets. However, stock cabinets don’t allow you to customize cabinetry for an odd-shaped room or one with high ceilings.

When it comes to cabinet hardware rules, there aren’t any. Let your personal style and budget be your guide. You can mix and match hardware or use all one kind; the choice is yours. But if you could use some overall guidance, many homeowners like to use knobs on doors and pulls on drawers.
