10 Cabinet Suggestions to Amplify Space

There are a myriad of motives that go into producing an efficient, elegant kitchen. From the flooring to countertops to appliances, all kitchen characteristics play an integral function, but cabinets are typically in the first position when it comes to storage, function, and convenience.

Regardless of your kitchen’s size, there are a variety of ways to increase cabinet space with inventive solutions.

  1. Take Cabinets Higher

Consider going up cabinets, as tall, vertical cabinets that reach to the ceiling are both trending and functional. Plus, higher shelves make an excellent space to store kitchen items use rarely.

  1. Exploit Nooks and Crannies

Often, kitchens have a small nook, corner, or angle that doesn’t fit standard cabinets. You can still make the space functional and often create a focal point such as organizational cabinets to store cookbooks, paperwork, and other small items, plus it will help keep counters free of clutter.

  1. Enhance Corner Cabinets

With an L-shaped kitchen layout, the corner cabinets are usually suitable while maddening to keep organized. To create more, consider adding a pullout to the corner cabinet, which doubles the interior storage space and allows trouble-free access to crucial items.

  1. Make Unused Features a Focus

Sometimes older homes have kitchen features that take up space instead of serve a purpose. To maximize storage, transform these areas by installing additional cabinetry. This will allow this area to stand out, while providing additional storage space.

  1. Create Shelving in Unusual Places

Typical kitchens have bulkheads extending from the ceiling that hide plumbing, electrical, and room supports. With some imagination, open the bulkhead and add cabinets and shelves for an increased functionality with no impact on the home’s structure.

  1. Stack Storage in Drawers

Deep drawers can be a beneficial attribute. To ensure that they serve the proper purpose, organize the space through the use of a secret drawer. By doubling-up the drawers within a single pullout, items can be arranged without changing cabinet fronts.

  1. Suspend Cabinet Additions

While it is not only practical, suspending cabinets from the ceiling also provides a contemporary, sleek, and inventive component. Plus, the open space above and below the suspended cabinets maintains a light and roomy sensation.

  1. Incorporate an Operative Island

The island should be tactically placed adjacent to the kitchen’s work zones for expedient prep and serving. In addition, the bottom of the island can include drawers and cabinets for supplementary storage.

  1. Build A Pantry Cabinet

If the kitchen has a tall, narrow space, pantries are the perfect addition for a unified look and expanded storage. It is possible to also accumulate space by selecting a pantry with sliding or pocket doors to prevent using precious floor space.

  1. Use All Cabinet Surfaces

Organization creates efficient kitchens, and using all cabinet surface areas provides extra storage. There are many elements to add to the inside surface of cabinet doors to hang pots, pans, or cleaning supplies, and creating shelving inside an open cabinet space can create even more surface area to store and organize essentials.
