Most homeowners have a good idea of what they want their kitchen to look like and even what style of kitchen they want. However, when it comes time to discuss kitchen storage many can be caught off guard because it really isn’t something they have thought about. Most are just excited to have the extra cabinets and new kitchen.
When it comes to designing a kitchen island the possibilities are endless. Depending on the look and how you choose to utilize your kitchen island it will not only change the look and style of your kitchen, but also affect your kitchen work zones and how you function in the kitchen.
Most homes have a familiar sound in the kitchen — an annoying “bang” when you shut or slam a cabinet door. The reason is that until about 2005, it wasn’t very common to see the soft-close hinge or soft-close drawer option offered for new kitchen cabinets. So most homes have the standard hinges and drawer glides that do not prevent slamming.
