Whether in the laundry room, living room, hobby room, or close to the kitchen, planning kitchen cabinets design in other-rooms offers a variety of options that regular furniture fails to provide. Roll-out shelves, drawers, tip-out shelves, and other unique functional storage areas can be created with a bit of imagination for almost any room.
As AZ custom home builders, we have often constructed homes incorporating home offices, laundry rooms, and butler pantries with custom kitchen cabinetry; more recently we have created mudrooms, and hobby rooms. When planning kitchen cabinets design for other-rooms, using the principles for functional, practical and useful storage clearly demonstrates how custom kitchen cabinetry can be used so well in these other-rooms. As opposed to a standard piece of furniture, every corner of a room can be used; built-in cabinetry can be constructed from ceiling to floor, adding even more useful space.
Custom kitchen cabinetry can be installed in almost any room. An ordinary room can be transformed into a:
- Hobby room for sewing, quilting, crafting, or gift wrapping. A sitting area can be created for the sewing machine; a large counter height island or table can be installed for cutting fabrics, or standing work. A gift-wrapping station can be created with easily accessible storage of ribbons and wraps.
- Home study area for the kids. Multiple homework stations, including a desk area for a computer, desk like storage and book shelves for text books can be terrific and functional areas for children.
- Additional serving area. Often custom kitchen cabinetry is located near a kitchen as in a butler pantry, but can be installed in breakfast nook areas and create extra counter space for big parties or family reunions. A counter surface in this area is great as a self-serving area for drinks, or part of a buffet line.
- Built-in entertainment centers. As opposed to a stand-alone piece of furniture or built-in drywall areas, built-in cabinetry can be designed to contain a TV, speakers and components matching and coordinating with the cabinets of the kitchen.
Imagination may be the only limitation when it comes to planning kitchen cabinets design for other-rooms. In addition to the increased functional and useful storage space created, it may create that calm feeling that goes with knowing ‘there is a place for everything and everything is in its place’.
