Most cabinet inspiration is a photograph of a kitchen you cannot order. These are ideas tied to what is actually stocked in Norcross, so each one ends in a cabinet you can put in a cart rather than a mood.
A darker perimeter with a lighter island - or the reverse - gives a large kitchen a centre, which is what large kitchens usually lack. In a small kitchen the same treatment cuts the room in half, so let the room decide rather than the palette. Pairings that exist across the collections: Oxford White with Escada Midnight Blue, Shaker Dove with Shaker Cinder, Valencia Cashmere Cream with Valencia Chateau Brown. See what is stocked.
Two tall units at opposite ends of a kitchen read as leftovers. The same two side by side read as architecture, and they stop interrupting the counter runs where you actually work. Group them, and put them away from the stretch between sink and range - that is the most valuable counter in the room. More on this in pantry cabinets.
The most useful change you can make to a kitchen plan, and the least photogenic. A base cabinet with a shelf wastes its back half because you cannot see it; a deep drawer makes the same volume reachable. Pans, lids and small appliances all belong in drawers. Nobody has ever regretted this one.
To-ceiling wall cabinets give storage and a built-in look. They also advertise a ceiling that slopes, which is common and invisible until cabinets are against it. Measure at both ends of the run first; if it drops, stop short and close the gap with molding, which absorbs what a to-ceiling install would announce.
A 9 or 12 inch cabinet in the gap beside a range takes trays and boards on end. Most kitchens close that gap with a filler strip instead, which is storage traded for nothing. With roughly 20,889 size variations there is usually a real cabinet for the gap.
If you are extending an existing kitchen or matching millwork that cannot be replaced, unfinished doors let the finish be done in place. Shaker Unfinished and unfinished wood hoods are both carried - a narrow idea that solves an otherwise impossible problem.
A range hood specified after the wall cabinets is the most common ordering mistake in a kitchen, because its required clearance above the range dictates where the surrounding cabinets can sit. Decided first, it becomes the feature the wall is built around. Hoods are carried as their own line - see hoods.
Before any of these. Ideas are cheap and measurements are not. Chalk the runs onto the floor and the wall cabinet line onto the wall, then walk it and open the imaginary dishwasher door. Ten minutes there catches what no photograph shows - a door swinging into a walkway, a corner drawer that cannot clear the range handle.
Finished installations - not product thumbnails - are in the gallery, which shows profile depth in a way a catalog photograph cannot.

Measure first - how to measure a kitchen. Compare door styles on categories, work through sizes in shop cabinets, and see service areas for coverage across the metro.
Door profile first: shaker or flat panel, or raised panel in a traditional room.
Go vertical rather than deep: taller wall cabinets add storage without taking floor. Swap base cabinet doors for deep drawers so the back half becomes usable. And use the narrow widths - a 9 or 12 inch cabinet beside the range is storage where most kitchens put a filler strip.
No - it works in a large one and hurts a small one. A darker perimeter with a lighter island gives a big kitchen a centre; the same treatment in a small kitchen cuts the room in half. Let the room size decide, not the palette.
Only if the ceiling is level. Measure at both ends of the run first. To-ceiling cabinets give storage and a built-in look, but they advertise a ceiling that slopes - stopping short and finishing with molding absorbs it instead.
Drawers instead of doors below the counter. It is the least photogenic decision and the one nobody regrets, because a shelved base cabinet wastes its back half where you cannot see it.
Before the wall cabinets. Its required clearance above the range dictates where surrounding cabinets can sit, so specifying it late is the most common ordering mistake in a kitchen.
Yes - Shaker Unfinished and unfinished wood hoods, so the finish can be done on site to match millwork or cabinetry that cannot be replaced.
Chalk the cabinet runs onto the floor and the wall cabinet line onto the wall, then walk it and open the imaginary dishwasher door. Ten minutes catches what no photograph shows.
The gallery on this site carries completed installations, which shows profile depth far better than a catalog thumbnail. The warehouse in Norcross is also open Monday to Saturday.
