When it comes to kitchen design, the ability to customize your design choices is key. The good thing about kitchen cabinets is that customization beyond stock cabinets exists on a spectrum. To those who want exactly what they imagine, and time and money is no object, fully customized cabinets are more than possible. For everything short of fully customized cabinets…
If you didn’t think that humidity has a strong effect on cabinets – especially wooden cabinets – then think again! You just may not have noticed humidity in action. Have you ever wondered why some cabinet doors and drawers open and close easily and quietly (as they always should) in cooler, less humid weather, while sometimes struggling to open and…
It’s true that with many other things in life, making eco-friendly choices requires you to sacrifice a whole range of style and stylish considerations. It may seem counter-intuitive, but cabinets can actually be both eco-friendly and stylish. Luckily for you (and us in the cabinet industry), cabinet design and style has trended in the right direction, and seemed to merge…
Unlike some other elements of a building or property, it’s relatively easy to see the signs that it’s time to replace your cabinets. At their best, cabinets are an attractive part of the overall design of a building or property’s interior and exterior areas. They provide seemingly unlimited storage and countless different ways to organize that which you need to…
No matter how new your cabinets are or how creative and efficient a layout you’ve created, a small space is a small space. In other words, there is a limit to the amount of storage any space offers – a maximum level of storage. It may be an optimistic point-of-view, but you can close the gap between that maximum amount…
Sustainability across all industries has been a growing trend over the last few decades, and for good reason. Among all of the world’s other anxiety-inducing current events, good environmental practices have become the status quo due to global warming and the excessive consumption of our planet’s natural resources. Sustainably-sourced materials and eco-friendly manufacturing are a few of the primary ways in…
You can say that the number one way to make a room feel bigger is to get a bigger room, but that’s not always a realistic solution. What’s more realistic is that you have limited space in each of your rooms, and you’re trying to at least maximize the feeling that your room is bigger than it is. Ideally, in…
Ahh, the Lazy Susan. One of the most creative storage inventions ever, and one that has certainly withstood the test of time though its popularity and usage has fluctuated! For those who don’t have or use, or have never seen (or even heard of, though highly unlikely) a Lazy Susan, it’s a turntable that helps in the distribution of food….
Stating that, “not all cabinets are the same,” is usually received one of two ways. If you’re telling that to a design enthusiast, they’ll scowl because they understand that cabinet design is infinitely intricate. Everyone else will be indifferent, because other than size, shape, and color, cabinets are cabinets. If you’re the former, there’s no need to feel contempt. If…
Unlike stock cabinets, which are standardized and have fixed elements, sizes, and costs, custom cabinets involve the kind of decision-making that is heavily affected by your wants and needs, choice parameters, and the trade-offs that take place with each preference.
