Several years ago I custom manufactured a kitchen recycling center as a roll around cabinet. It provided storage for all of the recyclables and worked as additional countertop space as well. The units should only be manufactured for kitchens that are spacious. The overall dimensions of the bin was thirty six inches high, sixty inches long and twenty one inches deep. read Custom Kitchen Recycling Cabinet Storage Ideas

If your cabinet installer did not put a hood vent cover over the duct work then you need to inform the company you purchased the kitchen cabinets from. It is not acceptable for the raw metal duct work to be exposed inside of the upper cupboard over the range. It is tacky looking and poor craftsmanship. There are no excuses either for any company doing such a poor job.

Would you agree that this cabinetry set looks cluttered? When the kitchen upper cabinet designer leaves space over the cupboards, take extra care to avoid using too many things to decorate with. Using small accents of color can really add to the beauty of a dark wood cabinet set, such as these in the image. This is just my opinion, but my eyes tend to focus on the overabundance of things on top of the cupboards rather than on the beauty of the cabinet’s design.
These real wood Cherry cabinets are stunning and yet all of the stuff above the cupboards is very distracting to the eyes.

Installing desk organizational storage spaces in the kitchen wall cabinet design can look bad.

Pantry kitchen oven cabinet designs often accommodate baking trays and cookie sheets on the top shelf. This is a great idea and a very handy thing to have. If you are considering building one of these units, I would like to give you a couple of pointers. If you are custom ordering your cupboards ask your cabinet design expert if they will be putting a scooped out area on the dividers.
1) It’s important to put some sort of scoop in the tray dividers in the front. This will allow room for your hands to be able to grab a hold of the cookie or baking pans that you have stored in this area.
2) The dividers should be set back from the front edge of the cabinetry no less than three inches if you are going to be using hinges that screw into the inside of the cabinet side. This set back will allow you to be able to attach the hinge and also make the necessary adjustments that will need to be made to get the doors to align properly. read Pantry Oven Cabinet Tray Dividers
