Cabinets of any kind—kitchen, office, storage room, bathroom, closet—are expensive and you want to make sure you’ve selected a style and number that future tense your need. Build in a little extra room, always fitting within both physical and budget restraints.  

Often, we meet homeowners whose vision is connected to what’s already there. Think about expanding by going up, using china cabinets where you don’t need the counter space below, creating usable spaces in your deep corners with pull-outs or pivoting carousels, going over toilets, seating areas, beds, or refrigerators. Imagine new spaces that optimize and maximize the space and niches you have to grow in and around.

Fun cabinets like trash pullouts, a tilt-out tray under the sink, or a toe kick drawer expand the concept of where or how a cabinet can be used.  

You don’t want to overspecialize all your cabinet spaces. Leave flexibility in most of your planning to incorporate what’s ahead. Beautifully constructed cabinets are a lifetime investment, keep your options open for all the fun ahead.
