Kitchen Cabinets in Phoenix, Arizona.

Every great kitchen design begins with layout. A good layout will compliment a party in the ways both food and conversation ebb and flow. The layout can also help minimize organizational challenges and lends itself to navigational ease when cooking or entertaining. This is the crucial first design decision when rethinking a kitchen.

One of the best ways to alter the layout to fit your needs is cabinets. The cabinets you choose can greatly impact the flow and usability of your kitchen. There are many options for cabinet layouts and inserts to fit your lifestyle. For example, for the cooking enthusiast, there are inserts for spices, baking and cookie sheets, utensils and a mixer stand. These inserts will help organize the items that are used on a regular basis. For coffee enthusiasts, there are k-cup inserts as well as drawer organizers to keep all the necessary coffee items at hand.

When deciding on a cabinet line, keep in mind the manufacturing specifications of the individual cabinet lines. There is a great price range for cabinets. Much of this depends on the type of wood used for the cabinets which will be discussed in the next section. However, the pricing may also be determined by the construction of the cabinet doors/drawers and face frames. Doors and drawers can be a solid wood piece with the decorative moldings routed or can be pieced together in rails, stiles and raised or recessed panels. Drawers are also able to be manufactured in different ways. One way is jointed drawer sides pin-nailed together. The other option is “dove-tailed” and glued drawer sides. Both options will hold up with normal wear and tear, however the dove-tailed option provides a moderately more secure hold.
