Designing Custom Kitchen Cabinets

To organize our kitchen, there are a large number of kitchen cabinets with different uses. In this blog we will show you the types of closets that exist and how to use each one, according to your storage needs.

Where to start? There are 3 types of kitchen cabinets:
• High
• Low
• Column Type

Base cabinets are the center of your kitchen, from them the rest of the elements will be defined, such as tall or column cabinets. It is important to determine, at the beginning of your design, everything you plan to store in this space, since this will allow you to choose the correct width and depth of each module.

Tip Milani: Furthermore, whenever you design a kitchen you must already have the measurements of countertops, microwaves, ovens or other appliances that you are going to include. So that? The reason is because the furniture is modulated and the measurements will depend on the dimensions of these electrical items.

Tall kitchen cabinets are the complement For kitchens that need to store a lot. As we mentioned in previous blogs, it depends a lot on the size of your kitchen to know if you choose between wall units or kitchen shelves, since they will be the most visible element in this space and if your kitchen is small they will not be the best option.

In this type of cabinets, the door openings can vary:

• pivot doors rotates on a horizontal axis, for which they require additional free space at the top to perform this movement.

• Folding doors They are the most common, they open upwards and do not require free space at the top to rotate.

• Sliding doors They are a practical element in tall cabinets.

Column cabinets go from floor to ceiling. Currently, its use has become popular, because leaving a free area between tall cabinets and the ceiling creates a space where dust and grease from kitchens accumulate, which is why cabinets are being designed that reach the ceiling.

There are several types of tall cabinets depending on their use:

•Pantry column cabinet, ideal for storing food because it is completely removable and accessible from both sides.

•Showcase column cabinets, They may have different types of doors, but they serve the purpose of storing and in some cases displaying glassware or tableware. At Milani Cocinas, we prefer, in this type of cabinets, to place internal lighting, a detail that gives a total plus to the space.

•Column cabinet cornerback, As many of our followers know about corner accessories, there is a version of the same system but for larger spaces vertically. Total smart storage.

•broom column cabinet, It is the space that everyone who designs their kitchen has been looking for. When it comes to cleaning, it tends to be complicated to store if we do not have a dedicated space. Here, we can have mops, vacuum cleaners, buckets and brooms in complete order.

 

Remember that the purpose of using kitchen cabinets is to intelligently optimize space, so we leave aside the concept that a large kitchen is synonymous with comfort.
