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

Being a manufacture of custom kitchen cabinets, there are design mistakes that we must avoid. Sometimes beauty and functionality do not mix. The ultimate cupboard layout will be aesthetically appealing and functional at the same time. Only “real” cabinetry designers understand what the things are that must be avoided.

Here are a few things to be aware of when designing your kitchen.

1) The distance from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinet should be in the neighborhood of eighteen inches, give or take one inch. If you are short one inch can make you or break you. Sometimes people will install upper cabinets that you have to stand on a step stool to get into. read Kitchen Cabinet Design Mistakes
