Kitchen cabinets are significant features at the heart of your home. The right cabinetry keeps your kitchen organized and brings the whole room together. Spending on excellent workmanship and quality materials can save you money in the long run, as you won't have to replace or repair these for a long time. Here’s what you should and shouldn't do when it comes to cabinet designs.

Do:

Install a pull-out trash bin.

It’s infinitely more convenient to pull out a wastebasket instead of repeatedly opening a cabinet door and reaching in to access the bin. If you're designing from scratch, request that the contractors install this space-saving feature. Otherwise, you can use a sliding track on an existing lower cabinet to create a pull-out trash bin.

Incorporate handy storage features.

Install practical features into your kitchen cabinet's design, such as deep roll-out drawers and vertical dividers to help you organize items. In place of dividers, you can also use pegs to separate utensils, plates, and other kitchenware. You can even opt for pull-out drawers so that you don't need to peek into nooks that are hidden from view.

Don't:

Ignore standard clearance recommendations.

A functional kitchen provides users with ample space to fully open appliances and cabinet doors. Leave additional space between adjacent instruments; otherwise, you may realize too late that you cannot fully open a drawer because a nearby kitchen appliance is in the way.

Choose a color you'll regret.

Kitchen cabinets account for a large share of visual space, so color them in hues that you will enjoy for a long time. Neutral colors are excellent options for cabinetry because they work well with other tones. However, neutral colors are not limited to browns, grays, or whites. Consider hues with various cool or warm undertones, such as green, yellow, orange, red, blue, and yellow.
