Do you spend a lot of time cooking and baking?
One of the best things you can do for yourself in your kitchen is to design spaces for the items you use constantly. He wants to consider not only where to store his tools and small appliances, but also how to access them. For example, if you’re a baker who loves to use your stand mixer, do what a recent customer of ours did: Create an integrated solution that gives you easy access to your mixer. An added bonus: Create add-ins where you need them so you don’t have to worry about moving your items around the kitchen to make room.
Hate wasted space?
The glory of custom cabinetry is that you no longer need to deal with wasted space. You can work with your designer and cabinetmaker to come up with unique storage ideas to fill every nook and cranny. Here we offer you this example: a small corner space turned into useful drawers where you can hide tupperware, smaller bowls, utensils and anything that will fit!
Do you lose items in your closets because you just can’t see them?
Deep cabinets are great as they allow you to store more items out of sight. Unfortunately, out of sight really is out of mind if your closets are so deep you can’t see behind you. By incorporating pull-out shelves into your custom kitchen cabinets, you no longer have to worry about lost or misplaced items.
Prefer to have a place for everything?
Then put everything in its place! Identify for your kitchen cabinet designer and builder all of the unique (or not-so-unique) storage issues you have. For example, is there a clever way to store your spices? How about using that corner space for a tall slim cabinet to store cutting boards and cookie sheets? Or maybe you can create drawers that allow you to safely store pots, pans and lids.
When it’s time to remodel your kitchen, design it right!
A kitchen remodel is the perfect time to really think about how you want to use your kitchen, not just how you want it to look. If function and form are important to you, start with the design. When working with a professional company, you will be asked numerous questions that can affect the design of your cabinets.
