Cabinet Doors – Today’s Best Look And Fit In January, we wrote about the surge in Shaker style cabinets. Defined as a full overlay or euro-style doors, they’re easy to personalize with a multitude of hardware options yet fit the trend towards simplicity and functionality. But let’s not forget there’re other options. Here we discuss the three major cabinet door mountings with some pros and cons of each. Cabinet Door Lingo As far back as the early 1900s, Inset Cabinet Doors were built into most kitchens. Held in place by hinges mounted on (or just inside the cabinet face frame), the door and drawer are on the same plane as the leading edge of the cabinet box. Usually, the hinges are visible when the door is shut. This style reduces cabinet space inside, and smaller drawers and hardware require extra blocking in the box. Price wise, it costs more than the others. However, this simple, traditional look is over 100 years old. Hardly a fad, Inset Cabinet doors aren’t going away anytime soon. Modernizing the inset door created Partial Overlay Cabinet Doors. Just as the name suggests, they partially cover the finished face frame. The ability to install more functional hardware allows a little more room for storage space over Inset Cabinet Doors. The problem is with the overall look. The space between doors and drawers gives the appearance of dotting, rather than defining the entire surface - diminishing their popularity. Full Overlay or Euro-style Doors are the latest and again, the name defines the style. Doors and drawers completely cover the box surface leaving very small gaps...

When beginning to think of remodeling your kitchen floor plan, one thing that many homeowners either forget about or look past is the option to change the layout of the kitchen cabinetry. Here are four traditional kitchen cabinet layouts that can maximize space. A properly designed kitchen needs two things: plenty of storage, and a lot of space to move around. To properly maximize the amount of room and storage in your kitchen, you need proper cabinet planning. The four major design plans used in the majority of home kitchens are: Galley, Island, U-shape, and L-shape. Galley Kitchen Cabinet Layouts The galley kitchen is made from two rows of cabinets running alongside one another. Because it is a very efficient form of cabinet spacing, the galley kitchen layout is the top choice for many professional and at-home chefs. The two rows will allow for easy movement through the kitchen, as well as quick access to preparation areas. However, homeowners thinking about galley kitchens should pay attention of the width of the kitchen, because a room that is too narrow can create a cramped atmosphere. We recommend considering more base cabinets near appliances in a galley kitchen. Island Kitchen Cabinet Layouts Island kitchen cabinets offer easy access from all points to the main storage and cooking counter. Island cabinets and counters are often promoted for their appeal in comfortable and tasteful living. The island allows the cook a commanding position, so he or she can see the entire room to listen, enjoy, and control the atmosphere. U-Shape Kitchen Cabinet Layouts A U-shape kitchen takes advantage of all but one wall...
