Maximizing Space With Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets help keep your space organized and your countertops clear. Customizing your cabinets lets you choose a style, material, and finish that complements your kitchen's design. It also allows you to add organization features, like pull-out shelves and Lazy Susans, to enhance storage. Here are some ways to maximize space with kitchen cabinets:
Customize Your Cabinets
Stock cabinetry may leave you with unused corner areas or awkward gaps between cabinets and appliances. Customizing your cabinets lets you utilize all of the available space in your kitchen. You can add floor-to-ceiling units, corner cabinets, and adjustable shelving to maximize storage in small or hard-to-reach spaces. Experienced craftsmen will design your kitchen cabinets to fit around your appliances and create a seamless look. They assess your kitchen's layout and specific needs, whether you have an L-shaped, U-shaped, or open-concept kitchen. Cabinet makers can also design a system that accommodates sloped or high ceilings, confirming no space is wasted.
E&B Granite offers many ways to customize your kitchen cabinets. Our team will work with you to choose specific colors and sizes that meet your design requirements. Depending on your kitchen's layout and the items you plan to store, we can create single- or double-door cabinets. Our craftsmen also create tailored drawer and shelf sizes to help fit your unique glassware, dishware, and utensils.
Include Pull-Out Shelves
Adding pull-out shelves to your custom cabinets helps enhance the accessibility, organization, and overall functionality of your kitchen. Traditional cabinets require you to bend and reach into deep spaces to gather pots and pans. Pull-out shelves slide forward, bringing everything into view and within easy reach. They allow you to use the full depth of the cabinet without wasting any space at the back. Installing separate pull-out sections for pots, pans, and baking sheets keeps these larger items neatly arranged and easy to find, reducing clutter. This also prevents tall cookware stacks from toppling over when you remove an item.
Add Built-In Organizers
Built-in organizers offer another way to reduce kitchen clutter, and they can make cooking more efficient. There are several types of organizers to choose from, including:
- Spice rack pull-outs
- Trash and recycling pull-outs
- Lazy Susans
- Under-sink pull-out trays
- Drawer organizers
Spice racks keep your seasonings neatly arranged and accessible, eliminating the need to sort through stacks of bottles while cooking. They can be designed as vertical pull-outs that fit into narrow spaces or as tiered racks that display all your spices at a glance. Trash and recycling pull-outs conceal waste bins within a cabinet. The design keeps the bins out of sight while maintaining quick and convenient access.
To maximize corner cabinet space, you can add Lazy Susans. These rotating trays bring stored items within reach. They are useful for storing frequently used ingredients, small appliances, or pantry staples. Under-sink pull-out trays help organize supplies like dish soap and sponges, reducing countertop clutter near the sink. Drawer organizers divide drawers into sections, allowing you to store and access utensils, cutlery, and small kitchen tools.
Incorporate Multi-Purpose Cabinetry
Multi-purpose cabinetry helps make your kitchen more functional by combining different components. It includes kitchen islands with storage and seating and cabinets with built-in appliances. Kitchen islands may be customized to include deep drawers for pots and pans, open shelving for cookbooks, or cabinet organizers for cutting boards and utensils. They can also have overhanging countertops to create more room for eating or laying out food when hosting parties.
Some cabinets feature designs that hide appliances or make them easier to use. Built-in microwave cabinets free up counter space while keeping the appliance at a convenient height. Appliance garages provide a designated spot for small kitchen gadgets like coffee makers and toasters. These storage spaces reduce clutter and keep appliances organized.
