Kitchen Cabinetry Throughout the House

Kitchen cabinets are making waves throughout the house by showing up in ordinary places in unique ways.  The finish and storage options are so abundant and flexible, it is no wonder we are finding this trend everywhere.

  • Kitchen cabinets in the bedroom:  desk areas can be made to look like expensive built-in furniture, different cabinet pieces can be combined to create a headboard, bookcases can be secured into place for an instant library.
  • Cabinetry in the bathroom:  naturally vanity spaces utilize all sorts of cabinetry options, but have you also considered; a thin 9″ or 6″ deep cabinet with glass above the toilet, a wine box with diagonal dividers to store and display rolled towels, or how about a tall linen pantry for keeping sheets, soaps, etc.?
  • Laundry Room cabinets:  placing front loader washer and dryers next to each other on the floor creates an option to have a countertop stretch across the appliances.  The next step will be to place wall cabinets above the countertop and now you have tons of storage!  Add a shelf or hooks under the cabinets to displaying or drying, place a white board inside a cabinet door for schedules and shopping lists.
  • Cabinets in a playroom:  There are cabinets that hinge on the top and can act as a toy box.  Wall cabinets can store board games, craft supplies, legos….you name it!
