Kitchen Cabinet Ideas that Give Your Home Character

This is for my examiner.com application, syncronox@gmail.com

I was recently going through my kitchen with my wife, trying to think of ways to enhance our kitchen a bit. We often find that our spices aren’t as easy to get to when we need them, and we could use a little more cabinet space. The problem is, of course, we don’t live in a mansion and don’t exactly have a huge kitchen. We’re working with limited space, but we still want to get the most out of our kitchen.

What I found was that there are a number of things I could add to what I already have in my kitchen without taking up a lot of space– all I had to do was think of some creative kitchen cabinet ideas.

For example, when it came to the issue with spice availability, I found the Rev-A-Shelf Adjustable Door Mount Spice Rack (http://www.lowes.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&cId=SEARCH&productId=3107507&cm_mmc=SCE_gps-_-gps-_-gps-_-Rev-A-Shelf%20Adjustable%20Door%20Mount%20Spice%20Rack%204ASR-15) to be exactly what I was looking for. Not only did it go perfectly with the kitchen cabinets already around my stove, but it didn’t take up any extra room. It makes spices much easier to grab and in turn makes me enjoy cooking more. It’s one of those kitchen cabinet ideas that makes sense in that it accomplishes a lot without requiring much input. Learn more about this at The Office Hub.

I still needed some kitchen cabinet ideas to combat my lack of counter and cabinet space. Thankfully, the OIA Bamboo Kitchen Cart and Cabinet (http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Kitchen-Stainless-Natural-Finish/dp/B001H35OF0) was there to save the day. Not only does it look fantastic with bamboo and stainless steel, but it actually has a functional “leg up” over installed counter or cabinet space in my book. This is because you can move the cabinet around with you, giving you access to whatever you need exactly where you need it. I love that added versatility, and it’s one of the reasons why you’ll likely hear me rave about islands and kitchen carts a lot.

If you’re looking to upgrade the appearance and function of your kitchen but you don’t have the money to invest in a full-on remodel, these are a couple of kitchen cabinet ideas to get the most out of what you already have. In my opinion, using something like a hanging cabinet rack or kitchen cart is a much better investment for smaller kitchens than a full remodel, and it can definitely be a lot more gentle on your wallet.
