4 Ways Cabinets & Shelving Transform Your Kitchen Space
Walk into your kitchen right now, and what do you see? A couple of appliances here and there, but mostly cabinets and shelving. When you think about it, your kitchen is almost all shelves and cabinets. Enlightening yourself to this fact paves the way for many opportunities. Your reputable team of kitchen designers at Revive Design and Renovation has been there, done that. That’s why you can trust us when we tell you the main ways that cabinets and shelving can transform your kitchen space.
1. The Choice Between Cabinets and Shelving Can Influence Your Perception of Space
If your kitchen feels rather cramped, we’re willing to bet that you have a lot of cabinets taking up the walls. Replace all of those cabinets (or even just half of them) with open shelves, and your space will probably feel a lot more breathable.
We’ve seen it happen over and over. The shock value of tearing out cabinets and seeing the true potential of your kitchen space is something that you can’t prepare yourself for no matter how hard you try. We’re not saying that cabinets are bad, but you might want to consider how many cabinets you want in your new kitchen depending on the space you have or want to have.
2. Storage Solutions Can Take Up Half of Your Kitchen’s Aesthetic
When you see more cabinets than you do bare wall space, designing your new cabinets is incredibly important as your kitchen’s aesthetics are on the line. Your kitchen cabinets can either work their magic and create an awe-inspiring space or completely demolish your vision and end up with clashing themes that even new home buyers wouldn’t want to deal with.
Kitchen cabinets should be designed with these factors in consideration:
- Color
- Design
- Shape
- Hardware
- Features
For example, choosing between white and colored cabinets isn’t something that should be done on a whim since it’s something that will be grabbing much of your attention every day.
3. These Kitchen Assets Determine How Many Things You Can Own
Homeowners easily get caught up in the aesthetics of their kitchen cabinets when remodeling that they tend to forget these spaces serve a practical function. The size of your cabinets and the number of shelves that you include in your kitchen ultimately decide how much you can store in the room.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I have a lot of things?
- Am I okay with showcasing these items, or do I want them hidden?
- Can I get by with less storage space? (Am I willing to downsize?)
- How much wall space do I have for new cabinets?
4. Your Decision Determines Your Organizational Options
Modernized cabinet features have changed the way that homeowners go about remodeling their kitchen space. While these features can come in handy, there’s also no point in getting cabinet features that you’re not going to use. You also limit your opportunities for cabinet features if you primarily go with an open shelving concept for your new kitchen.
Getting the best of both isn’t an impossible task. You could go with open shelves above the counters and consolidate your cabinet features in the remaining cabinets below the counter or on the kitchen island. All it takes is an open mind and some assistance from qualified designers to make it all happen.
