Understanding Base Cabinets
Base cabinets are the workhorses of your kitchen, providing the necessary support for countertops and offering ample storage space. We will work with you to create the best possible kitchen cabinet design for your home. Here are some of the most common types:
Door and Drawer Cabinet
This classic style features a door (or doors depending on cabinet width) with a drawer above it. It’s perfect for storing everyday items such as utensils, pots and pans or small kitchen appliances.
Door and Drawer Cabinet with Accessories
These cabinets not only offer a larger storage area with doors but also come with customizable accessories:
Trash Can Cabinet Keeps your waste out of sight.
Roll-Out Trays Convenient for accessing items stored deep within the kitchen cabinet.
Tray Divider Ideal for organizing kitchen cabinets by keeping baking sheets, cutting boards, and trays upright.
Full Height Door Cabinet
With tall doors and no drawers, this option is great for storing larger items like pots and pans. It's a staple in kitchen storage cabinets and ideal for maximizing vertical space.
Sink Cabinet
Sink cabinets are specifically designed to accommodate kitchen sinks and plumbing:
False Drawer Front Designed to accommodate an undermount sink or a drop in sink.
Farmhouse Sink Base Cabinet Designed to fit a farmhouse (or apron) sink, these cabinets feature a front panel that extends below the sink’s front edge, providing additional support and a stylish look.
Drawer Base Cabinet
Available in various configurations:
2-Drawer Cabinets Ideal for larger items.
3-Drawer Cabinets Balances storage between large and small items.
4-Drawer Cabinets Offers storage for utensils, linens, and more.
Base Corner Cabinet
Maximizing corner space can be tricky, but corner cabinet storage options like the Lazy Susan cabinet or blind corner cabinet solve this issue. These cabinets allow easy access to items stored in deep corners, making them both functional and space-efficient.
