Some of the acronyms in the Kitchen and Bath Industry have to do with whether a designer is certified (or not), how many years’ experience they have, how much education they have, as well as their skill level. So yes, they are definitely something you should be aware of.

Below are the most common certifications or titles you will hear and what they tell you. To achieve these certifications, it takes years of experience, a certain level of education and passing grueling tests to prove expertise.

We’ve all seen varied forms of organization in kitchens. Sometimes they have that feel where everything has a place, and it’s put together perfectly. Others feel like a disorganized mess of “put it wherever you can find a place” thinking.

![brakur_double_stacked_cabinets.png](https://blog.brakur.com/hs-fs/hubfs/brakur_double_stacked_cabinets.png?width=308&name=brakur_double_stacked_cabinets.png)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.
