Custom Cabinet Sets Are a Great Way to Get a Narrow Corner Kitchen Cabinet

Narrow corner kitchen cabinet is certainly an option for some homeowners, but before you commit to one make sure that the space you have available for installation is large enough. The reason behind this is that some cabinets fit a little tighter than others do.

Having a small cabinet in the kitchen can cause problems. It will force the refrigerator, sink and stove to push up against each other. This makes it difficult to work.

I once worked for a customer who had many large kitchen cupboards in the kitchen. She always had a restaurant catering business and all of her employees would be eating at the business in the evenings. She had a very large and expansive kitchen and she knew that the smallest kitchen cupboard configuration would not work.

So she would sit in the kitchen, talking with her husband and baby while she discussed where she should put her catering business next to the big kitchen of the big store she opened. It was then that I realized that it's not always about being able to fit into a space; it's about how that space looks from the outside and how it flows.

Too many people make the mistake of buying their homes and then deciding that they don't want the size of the kitchen to change; they don't want to be confined to having to install large custom kitchen cupboards. Unfortunately they end up with an area that looks like it took forever to put together.

This happens with people who never use this area and then they end up getting those oversized styles kitchen cabinets in their home. I've seen families in Houston get into this problem.

I'm telling you right now; do not get caught in a cycle of buying a new kitchen remodel only to realize that it's too big for the space that you have available. You need to realize that your kitchen is not a big open room; it's just that; your kitchen.

The very first thing you need to do when looking for a new kitchen cupboard is figure out how many shelves you want. Most of us want one, if not two, shelves. You can find them in a wide variety of styles.

It's important to realize that most homeowners won't use a full wall of shelves, so don't count on having more than one full wall. Two shelves will work quite well if there is enough room for the wall you choose.

A great tip is to put the top of the shelf below the top of the cabinet doors. Then you can access all of the products inside of the cabinet without having to remove the door completely.

Now that you know how much space you have for the shelves, it's time to take into account the width of the wall that you have. Measure the width of the wall from base to top, then find a cabinet in the same style as the one you have to go with that measurement.

Now the only thing left to do is take into account the length of the wall. Find a cabinet that is in the same style as the one you have and compare the measurements from the wall to the cabinet, then choose the size based on the length of the wall.
