How to Maximize Your New Kitchen with Custom Cabinetry
When building a custom home, designing a kitchen that is both stunning and highly functional can be challenging. In our experience, clients who choose to work with a custom cabinetry company end up maximizing every inch of their kitchen space, ensuring it meets their unique needs and lifestyle.
To help you get a head start on your kitchen plans, we collaborated with our expert partners at Tharp Custom Cabinetry to bring you their top five tips for maximizing your new kitchen:
1. Optimize Storage Solutions
When space is limited, it’s important to maximize your storage in every direction. Innovative solutions such as pull-down units can make it easier to reach items in hard-to-reach places like your upper cabinets. For those items that tend to get lost in the back of the cabinet, consider a tall pullout pantry cabinet.
2. Embrace the Drawer Revolution
Consider shifting from the traditional drawer-on-top and doors-on-bottom setup to all-drawer bases. This change streamlines access by eliminating the need to open a door before accessing a rollout. Drawers provide a single-movement solution, making it easier to reach items at the back. This trend is also being adopted in bathrooms, where U-shaped drawers that wrap around plumbing or shallow-depth drawers maximize space under the sink.
3. Clear the Clutter with Smart Solutions
For a clean and organized kitchen, think about where to store all of your small appliances. Solutions like appliance garages or pocketing door cabinets can help keep your countertops clear and your kitchen looking tidy. Customizing your cabinetry to include these features ensures a clutter-free space.
4. Custom Drawer Organizers
While aftermarket organizers are available, they often don't fit perfectly and require multiple units to achieve the desired organization. Custom drawer organizers provide several standard layouts and solutions for specific requests. Adjustable dividers allow your drawers to evolve with your needs, ensuring long-term functionality.
5. Tailor-Made Features
Customization is the best way to address specific needs and preferences in your kitchen. Our team at Tharp specializes in creating tailor-made features such as dog feeding stations, hidden cutting board storage, paper towel pullouts, and glass cabinets lined with contrasting wood finishes to match other pieces in your kitchen. These bespoke elements make your kitchen truly unique and highly functional.
Custom cabinetry can transform your kitchen into a space that is not only visually appealing but also incredibly functional. By incorporating innovative storage solutions, embracing new trends, and customizing to your specific needs, you can create a kitchen that works perfectly for you.
