Doubling up on cabinets can be a great way for adding extra storage, creating beautiful displays, and maximizing the space in your kitchen. When done right it can really add to the style of the kitchen, but it is right for your family and lifestyle? Will it help or hinder the function of your kitchen?
Before adding extra cabinets to your kitchen there are a few things you need to consider. While more cabinet space is great it doesn’t help if it is not accessible and doesn’t serve a purpose. So before doubling up answer the following questions to help you decide if you should double stack cabinets in your kitchen design.
Questions to Answer
What items if any do you plan on storing in the cabinets?- Do you have a designated work zone or specific use for the double stacked cabinets such as a beverage station or appliance hutch?
- If it is a high cabinet that goes to the ceiling how will you access the items, you store there?
- Are you planning on adding glass doors and using cabinets on top for style and decoration?
- Is the added cost worth the additional cabinets or should you consider some open shelving or possibly store items in cabinets in another room in the house?
- Do you have enough space for additional cabinets or will it make your kitchen feel more closed in?
- What additional kitchen lighting will be needed?
