A Different Look

Having a few wall cabinets higher and deeper in a kitchen design is a common thing. Often it’s the wall cabinet in the corner and the fridge cabinet that is used in this fashion.

For a different look try designing with the majority of the wall cabinets higher and deeper with only a few cabinets lower and shallower as seen in
the pictures.

To make it even more interesting add a few mullion doors to these higher and Deeper cabinets and voila!

White…the forever classic

White has always been and will always be the classic colour for kitchen cabinets. It makes any kitchen feel larger, cleaner and brighter. White cabinets give you a soothing effect and go very well in any design style.
White cabinets can be ordered with birch painted doors, a combination of birch and MDF painted doors, MDF painted doors (1 piece), MDF painted doors (5 pieces) or PVC doors.

Islands are beautiful, functional and an integral part of a kitchen. They are where people gather, have breakfast and where kids often do their home work. Plan them well and your clients will enjoy them for a long time!

Here’s a list of questions that might help you plan the perfect island:

Do you want the island to be a contrasting color from the main kitchen?
What is the space that you have for an island?
What will be the main function of your island?
What shape would you like your island?
Do you want a single or multi level island?
Do you want a cooktop, sink or appliances integrated into your island?
Do you want a seating area around the island, where and how much?
Do you want any decorative features such as: false doors, raised panel back, fluted fillers, corbels, furniture toe kick, toe kick valance, mullion doors, wine rack, etc. on your island?
Do you need countertop support?
