So, what are the different cabinetry elements that matter?

-Colour – classic white, pastels, tuxedo or something more colourful

-Types of cabinetry. Drawers, cupboards, pull-out pantry, display cabinets, wine racks and open shelving are some options. Kitchens have a combination of these, each serves a purpose.

-Accessories like handles and drawer systems. Should you have push to open or overhang? Or those beautiful claw-shaped brushed steel handles you’ve always loved?

Snimay suggests the following for your kitchen cabinet design:

-Keep the classic “kitchen work triangle” in mind when designing your kitchen. The stove/oven, sink and refrigerator all need to be in a functional work space. You’ll feel more comfortable cooking in the kitchen when all of your appliances are within easy reach.

-Paths within the cooking zone should be 42 inches wide for a one cook kitchen and 48 inches wide for a kitchen with two cooks.

-To make cabinet doors fully functional, plan enough space for the door’s clearance in your kitchen design.

-Allow for counter space. About 15 inches on either side of a cook top and refrigerator gives ample work space.

-Tiling a backsplash adds color, texture and personality to a kitchen.

-When remodeling, add enough power sources for relocated or new appliances.

-Plan for storage. Do you have enough storage for things other than dishes, glasses, pots or pans?

Complement your kitchen style with unique cabinet knobs and pulls.
