Custom Cabinets in Toronto are great for small áreas

We wouldn't just want to talk about Custom Cabinets in Toronto for small kitchens. This type of installation works great in any area of your home. However, some essential points make them stand out in kitchens. 

Adapt to the space

We want all customers' kitchens to be the same, but each home has its own details. Even more so when it comes to an area in which there are so many appliances and areas with different purposes:

• Custom cabinets allow you to play with the size and shape according to the proportions of your kitchen. A clear difference from standard cabinets, which only offer one size.

• You also won't have to move your appliances just because the size of your cabinet requires it. Your refrigerator and oven can stay where they are, as the key is to utilize the available space.

• Take advantage of uneven surfaces with cabinets that conform to the ceiling or wall line. For example, attic-type sloping roofs. 
  

You won't have to worry about the current state of your kitchen. Of course, for this, you must have specialists who know how to work with the existing space.

Integrate vertical storage

You will hardly find a variety of designs in standardized cabinets. Almost all of them tend to have a quadrangular shape and are of a similar size. Custom Cabinets in Toronto give you some additional benefits:

• Vertical cabinets will help you get the most out of your kitchen, no matter how small. In the smallest corners, you can organize all your utensils.

• Through the adjustable shelves, you can create storage areas of different sizes.

• Take advantage of high areas, which usually constitute a dead space of up to 1 meter in some kitchens.
  

Feeling of spaciousness

Sometimes, it's not just what it is, but what it appears to be. Custom Cabinets in Toronto also create a sense of spaciousness through designs and colors. How do they do it? See:

• Light colors are essential to help give the feeling of more space

• Similarly, it is vital to make use of reflective materials at strategic points

• Clean line designs give the impression that cabinets take up less space
  

It's incredible how much can change in your kitchen simply with a design that's appropriate for your cabinets. By consulting with a specialist, you can obtain the best solutions to enhance aesthetics and increase spaciousness.

Organization of your utensils

Custom Cabinets in Toronto are great for your kitchen. This doesn't mean you have to place a lot of cabinets to organize all your utensils. It's best to use little space, but make the most of it with a few extra facilities:

• Through shelves and containers incorporated into the doors, it will be much more convenient to access your things. This implies that you won't have to put in much effort to search deep into your cabinets. 

• It incorporates hanging shelves, essential for cutlery and utensils for continuous use. It's much better than having your stuff scrambled in a disorganized container. 

• Sliding cabinets with dividers help you organize by utensil type. All spoons and knives are separate. 
  

Why does this help to make better use of space? Because you'll need fewer cabinets to store all your stuff. That's why custom cabinets are essential in small kitchens.

Comfortable to work

What is the main problem with a small kitchen? It is very uncomfortable when cooking. Luckily, custom cabinets are a pretty good solution to improve workflow:

• Cabinet placement depending on the agile hands of those who usually cook most frequently. A detail that adds significantly to practicality and comfort. 

• Cabinets are strategically placed so that utensils, food, condiments, and more are close to where they are used. For example, condiments or utensils near the stove. 

• Cabinets are placed at an ideal height to avoid bending over or stretching.
  

Even if your kitchen is tiny, having your things in an accessible place is essential. It is one of the most common mistakes in kitchen design.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best colors to make the kitchen look more spacious?

Light shades, such as white, beige, or light gray, are usually preferred. Wood textures are selected for open cabinets, so they are not ruled out in a small kitchen.

Is it better to use open shelves or tall cabinets?

Tall cabinets are preferred for storing utensils or foods that are not used frequently. Open shelves are great for saving space, but you'll need to keep your belongings organized to maintain a tidy appearance.

What is the best material for cabinets in small kitchens?

Melamine boards are often a good option due to their strength and ease of cleaning. However, on an aesthetic level, MDF can also be of great help.

Case study: Bridge kitchens, featuring cabinets raised to different depths, are gaining traction as a trend for small spaces. Architects Gert and Karin Wingardh demonstrate this with a design in Gothenburg, Sweden, where white predominates on both levels of cabinets.
