Planning and Functionality

A useful cabinet layout starts with what needs to fit inside it.

Measure and make a list

Note the room dimensions, doorways, windows and appliance locations. List the items you use most often, the things that are difficult to reach and anything that needs a dedicated space.

Plan the storage

Consider drawer sizes, shelving, hanging space and access around doors and appliances. Reference photos can help explain a particular detail, but the layout needs to work with your room and dimensions.

Choose the visible details

Review the door profile, wood, finish and hardware together. Use physical samples for final material and color decisions.
