We spend a lot of time promoting the idea of renovating cabinets because it allows our customers to transform their kitchens, save tons of money and keep their landfills free of unnecessary waste. However, it is important to remember that we can completely overhaul the interior surfaces of your cabinets when refinishing. So if you’re looking to take your kitchen cabinetry to a whole new level, be sure to turn to expert cabinet remodeling contractors for help.
The ultimate kitchen design prioritizes function and flow. The same goes for cabinet design, including interiors. Empty cabinet space is a wasted storage opportunity. Leverage your intuitive knowledge of “what goes where” and “what goes where” to design custom cabinet interiors that keep everything within easy, accessible and organized reach.
Also, the more we optimize the cabinet and drawer interiors, the easier it is to remove the cabinet here or replace it with a shelf there, thus opening up the kitchen space. Here are some things to keep in mind along the way.
Remodel your kitchen with the big picture in mind
Once homeowners start renovating the kitchen, they often find themselves obsessively focused on things that don’t impact the big picture as much as they thought. So step away from the micro view for a moment and evaluate your kitchen from a big picture perspective. How much will your interior cabinets be seen or examined?
Instead of focusing excessively on the colors or finishes of interior cabinetry innovations, aim for what makes the most sense for cabinet and drawer use. Once all your utensils, appliances and crockery are in place, the interiors will be barely noticeable.
If you’re remodeling, chances are the cabinets are ten years old or older, and cabinet interiors have come a long way since then. Storage solutions are plentiful today. From pull-out shelves to custom pots, pans and dishes storage, newly installed storage solutions will automatically enhance the look of your cabinets when they’re open.
Use this post to get an idea of some of the mix and match cabinet storage solutions available. You’ll love how they keep things organized so there’s no room for “drawer clutter”. Using every inch of your interior cabinets can double the storage capacity.
Even reupholstered cabinets can get a functional upgrade, from cabinet doors to drawers. Instead of sliding pots and pans towards you, climbing into the cabinet to access large pots and lids is game-changing. The tall drawer solution is not only super functional (and quieter), but also updates the aesthetic design of your remodeled kitchen.
Reconfigure your cabinets for a new look
Does your kitchen remodel include a new layout, adding a kitchen island, or reconfiguring appliances? If so, you will need to rethink the interior of the cabinet. Remodeling cabinet interiors can allow you to completely eliminate some of your kitchen cabinets, making room for some kitchen remodeling extras you thought you didn’t have room for. For example, you may find that there is now a corner area suitable for a breakfast nook, family message center, or open shelving.
Do you have some free time and craft skills? Cover the back and walls of the inside of your cabinets with decorative self-adhesive patterns. Get creative with the DIY solution. This is especially attractive when paired with glass cabinets but can create a unique and stylish design element in any cabinet.
