Kitchen Cabinet Layout Ideas

    While making the layout for your kitchen cabinets, try to include cabinets of different finishes and trims. This will add a lot of interest to your kitchen Decor and make it look all the more appealing.
    If you are ready to experiment, do away with the door-after-door arrangement of kitchen cabinets. Rather, go for different heights and depths in your cabinets. Highlight a tall cabinet by placing it in a row of wall cabinets.
    For baking purposes, you should go for a base cabinet with lower height and a butcher block or marble countertop. If possible, you can place the baker cabinet between the standard height base cabinets, to impart an interesting look to the kitchen.
    For storing pots and pans, use a cabinet with a wide drawer base, rather than the usual door.
    Rather than making a plan with all the cabinets having doors, go for a few that miss the particular feature. Use them to display recipe books or bone china dishes in the kitchen.
    Adding a plate storage rack, cubby holes, or small spice drawers beneath a shorter cabinet is another good idea for a different kitchen cabinet plan.
    Rather than a single look, a single color for all the kitchen cabinets, make a plan with cabinets that have two different colors and doors. You can also go for cabinets with different drawer styles.
