Looking at your kitchen cabinets and you might find it is time to change the place a little bit. Just bought a new home and looking for ideas on kitchen furniture and what to look for. Let’s have a closer look on cabinets and what to look for when deciding on your next kitchen.

Considering a new kitchen, first decide on general distribution of the kitchen cabinets according to the space available. With different types of kitchens, single-row, L- or corner-shape and U-shape with or without kitchen islands, where to put what, depends on your room size.

The classical way to distribute the basic kitchen appliances around cabinets is: refrigerator, space, oven, space, kitchen sink with dishwasher. Obviously not considering any additional space for a possible washing machine. This traditional way of lineup keeps the heat of the oven away from the fridge and still allows room to have the close enough. Obviously it is up to you and the space you have at your home to find the best distribution. You can just draw a simple floor plan of your kitchen and cut out of paper board some pieces equivalent to each of your appliances. This will give you a rough idea of what could go where. Later on when you have a more concrete feeling of where each cabinet will go to you can talk to your cabinet maker to get a detailed drawing of your ideas, before getting on with it
