Innovative Cabinetry Options
by Brandy Souza
Innovative solutions for utilizing every possible storage area have been around for a few years now – long enough to prove they work. But not everyone has heard about them. One of the benefits of working with a professional kitchen designer is that they know about an array of options that you may not have considered. Since you are investing in remodeling, you can have a kitchen upgrade with their guidance, not just a facelift. Think about including these ideas in your new kitchen.

Corner Drawer Base Cabinet
For an alternative to the Lazy Susan (some love them, others don’t), this cabinet has three drawers that pull out at a diagonal from the corner. The drawer fronts being either diagonal or at 90 degrees ‘L’ shape. This built-in storage can take full advantage of corner cabinet space that may be otherwise under-utilized.

Toe Kick Drawer
Customers have used toe kick drawer options for storage of all kinds, from placemats and trays, to kids’ coloring books. These drawers can be placed in islands, as well. Storage is always at a premium in any kitchen, and this may be an otherwise unutilized space.
