Every successful kitchen design incorporates these three essential cabinet categories, each serving specific purposes and addressing unique storage challenges. At Trendy Cabinets, we offer extensive selections within each category, ensuring you have the variety and quality needed to create your ideal kitchen cabinets or bathroom cabinets configuration.
Base Cabinets: The Foundation of Kitchen Storage
Base cabinets form the foundation of your kitchen storage system, literally and figuratively. These floor-mounted cabinets typically stand 34.5 inches tall and support countertops while providing accessible storage for heavy items, pots, pans, and other kitchen essentials. The combination of doors and drawers in base cabinets creates versatile storage that accommodates items of various sizes.
Our base cabinet collection includes numerous configurations to suit different needs. Standard door-and-drawer combinations provide traditional storage with an upper drawer for utensils and small items above a larger cabinet for pots and pantry goods. Drawer base cabinets feature multiple stacked drawers, offering excellent organization for cookware, linens, and other kitchen items. Sink base cabinets accommodate plumbing while maintaining storage around pipes.
Modern base cabinets incorporate innovative storage solutions that maximize usability. Pull-out shelves bring items from the back forward for easy access. Soft-close drawer slides ensure smooth, quiet operation while protecting contents from jarring stops. Interior organizers for trash bins, cutting boards, and spice storage transform base cabinets from simple boxes into highly functional storage systems.
At Trendy Cabinets, we construct our base cabinets using premium materials that withstand the demands of daily kitchen use. Solid plywood boxes resist moisture and provide superior strength compared to particleboard alternatives. Heavy-duty drawer slides rated for 75 to 100 pounds support fully loaded drawers without sagging or binding. These quality components ensure your base cabinets perform flawlessly for decades.
Wall Cabinets: Maximizing Vertical Storage
Wall cabinets mount on your kitchen walls above countertops, utilizing vertical space to dramatically increase storage capacity. These cabinets typically range from 12 to 42 inches in height and provide easily accessible storage for dishes, glasses, food items, and other frequently used kitchen items. The variety of wall cabinet sizes and styles allows you to customize your kitchen's upper storage to match your needs perfectly.
Standard wall cabinets feature one or two doors with adjustable shelving inside, providing flexible storage for items of various heights. Glass door wall cabinets showcase beautiful dishware or collectibles while protecting them from dust. Open shelving sections create display opportunities and break up solid cabinet runs for visual interest. Range hoods integrate into wall cabinet runs, maintaining a cohesive appearance.
Ceiling-height wall cabinets, sometimes called tall wall cabinets, extend upward to eliminate the gap between standard wall cabinets and the ceiling. This design choice creates a more custom, built-in appearance while providing additional storage space. The extra height proves particularly valuable in kitchens with limited floor space where vertical storage becomes crucial.
Our premium wall cabinets feature the same quality construction as our base cabinets. Solid plywood boxes provide strength without excessive weight, important for wall-mounted units. Concealed European hinges offer smooth operation and clean aesthetics. Soft-close mechanisms prevent slamming, protecting both the cabinets and their contents while maintaining a peaceful kitchen environment.
Corner Cabinets: Smart Solutions for Challenging Spaces
Corner cabinets address one of kitchen design's most challenging aspects—efficiently utilizing corner spaces where two cabinet runs meet. Without proper corner solutions, these areas become difficult-to-access dead zones that waste valuable storage potential. Our innovative corner cabinet designs transform these problem areas into highly functional storage spaces.
Lazy Susan corner base cabinets feature rotating shelves that bring items to you rather than requiring you to reach deep into corners. This classic solution remains popular because it works so effectively, providing full access to the entire cabinet interior with a simple spin. Our heavy-duty lazy Susan hardware supports substantial weight while rotating smoothly on precision bearings.
Blind corner base cabinets use one section to access storage that extends into the adjacent cabinet run. Pull-out systems bring this hidden storage forward, making it as accessible as any other cabinet. These solutions maximize corner capacity while maintaining a standard cabinet appearance from the front. Various pull-out designs accommodate different storage needs and budgets.
Corner wall cabinets employ similar strategies to maximize upper corner storage. Diagonal wall corner cabinets create an angled front that provides good access while utilizing the entire corner space. L-shaped corner wall cabinets wrap around the corner with doors on both walls, though they often include a lazy Susan or pull-out system for easier access to the corner area.
Integrating Cabinet Types for Maximum Efficiency
The true art of kitchen design lies in how base, wall, and corner cabinets work together to create a cohesive, functional space. Each cabinet type contributes specific capabilities, and thoughtful integration maximizes your kitchen's overall performance. Our design team excels at creating cabinet layouts that optimize workflow while meeting your storage requirements.
Work zones provide a useful framework for cabinet planning. The cooking zone, for example, might include base cabinets with large drawers for pots and pans beneath the range, wall cabinets for spices and oils within easy reach, and corner solutions for additional cookware storage. The food preparation zone benefits from base cabinets with pull-out cutting boards and wall cabinets storing mixing bowls and baking supplies.
Storage planning should consider both the items you store and how frequently you access them. Heavy, frequently used items belong in base cabinets between knee and shoulder height for easy, safe access. Lighter, daily-use items fit perfectly in wall cabinets at eye level. Occasional-use items can occupy higher wall cabinet shelves or corner cabinets that require more effort to access.
Why Trendy Cabinets for Your Complete Kitchen
When you choose Trendy Cabinets for your base, wall, and corner cabinet needs, you're selecting a partner committed to delivering complete solutions rather than just individual products. Our comprehensive approach ensures all your cabinets work together harmoniously, both functionally and aesthetically. This attention to the big picture distinguishes us from suppliers who simply sell cabinets without considering how they integrate.
Our showroom in Roswell, Georgia, displays various cabinet types in realistic kitchen settings, helping you envision how they'll function in your home. You can open doors, pull out drawers, and test corner solutions to understand their operation. This hands-on experience proves invaluable when making decisions about your investment in kitchen cabinets.
The design services we provide go far beyond simply selecting cabinets. Our team creates detailed layouts that optimize your space, improve workflow, and maximize storage capacity. We consider your cooking habits, family size, entertaining style, and future needs to design a kitchen that serves you well for years to come.
Professional installation is crucial for optimal cabinet performance, especially with corner solutions and other complex configurations. Our installation team brings extensive experience with all cabinet types, ensuring proper mounting, precise alignment, and smooth operation. They understand how base, wall, and corner cabinets should integrate and work diligently to achieve perfect results.
Quality Across All Cabinet Types
At Trendy Cabinets, quality remains consistent whether you're purchasing a simple base cabinet or a complex corner solution. Every cabinet—regardless of type or size—receives the same attention to detail, uses the same premium materials, and undergoes the same rigorous quality control. This consistency ensures your entire kitchen maintains uniform quality and performance.
Our high-end cabinets feature construction details that distinguish them from mass-market alternatives. Dovetailed drawer boxes provide superior strength and longevity compared to stapled or glued corners. Full-extension drawer slides allow access to the entire drawer interior. Soft-close mechanisms operate smoothly for years without adjustment. These details make daily kitchen use more pleasant and protect your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard height for base cabinets?
Standard base cabinets are 34.5 inches tall, which creates a 36-inch counter height when you add a typical 1.5-inch thick countertop. This height works well for most people, though custom heights can be specified for taller or shorter users. The depth typically measures 24 inches, providing adequate counter space when combined with countertops that overhang slightly.
How high should wall cabinets be installed above countertops?
The standard distance between countertops and the bottom of wall cabinets is 18 inches, creating a convenient backsplash area while keeping wall cabinets accessible. However, this measurement can be adjusted based on ceiling height, user preferences, and appliance requirements. Taller users might prefer 20 inches, while those with limited reach might choose 15 inches. Our design team considers these factors when planning your layout.
What are the most effective corner cabinet solutions?
The best corner solution depends on your specific needs and budget. Lazy Susan base cabinets offer excellent accessibility and remain popular for their reliability. Pull-out systems maximize corner capacity while providing good access. Diagonal corner cabinets create unique storage with an angled front. Our team can demonstrate various options and recommend solutions that match your requirements and budget.
Can base cabinets be used in bathrooms?
Absolutely! Many bathroom vanities are essentially base cabinets specifically designed for bathroom use. Our bathroom cabinets use the same quality construction as kitchen base cabinets, with special consideration for moisture resistance and plumbing accommodation. Drawer base cabinets work particularly well in bathrooms, providing organized storage for toiletries and linens.
Should I install cabinets to the ceiling or leave a gap?
Both approaches have merits. Cabinets extending to the ceiling create a custom, built-in appearance while eliminating dust-collecting gaps and providing maximum storage. Leaving a gap maintains a more traditional look and can make ceilings appear higher. The choice depends on your aesthetic preferences, ceiling height, and storage needs. Our design team can show you both options in 3D renderings.
How do I maximize storage in base cabinets?
Base cabinet storage is maximized through smart interior accessories and organizational systems. Pull-out shelves improve access to items at the back. Deep drawer systems organize pots and pans efficiently. Dividers keep baking sheets and cutting boards upright. Trash pull-outs utilize sink base space effectively. Our team can recommend accessories that match your specific storage needs and budget.
What's the difference between cabinet depth options?
Standard base cabinets are 24 inches deep, while wall cabinets typically measure 12 inches deep. These dimensions work well for most kitchens, providing adequate storage while allowing standard countertop overhangs. However, custom depths are available for special applications. Deeper wall cabinets create more storage but protrude further into the kitchen. Shallower base cabinets might be used where space is tight.
Are wall cabinets strong enough for heavy dishes?
Yes, when properly constructed and installed. Our premium wall cabinets use solid plywood construction with reinforced hanging rails that distribute weight across the entire cabinet. Professional installation ensures cabinets mount securely to wall studs. Adjustable shelves inside accommodate various item weights. When built and installed correctly, wall cabinets safely support substantial weight from dishes, glassware, and other kitchen items.
