How to Use Kitchen Cabinets in Other Spaces at Home

Cabinetry is trending across home design and social media channels as the essential fixture in every room from the kitchen and beyond. And, for good reason too! Design experts, such as Joanna Gaines, co-host of HGTV's "Fixer Upper," are known to use a cornucopia of cabinetry as a staple throughout the entire home.

Custom Cabinets for the Kitchen and Beyond 

Custom-made shelves and cabinets can add style and organization to your pantry, laundry room, hobby and crafting spaces, garage, basement, bedrooms, shared spaces and the all-important home office.

Add More Open Shelving

Interior designers like Gaines  encourage adding "cubbies" and trying to incorporate shelving for all ages - from children's to work-from-home spaces and more.

Another long-time design proponent of custom cabinetry is Lynn Noble, an author, photographer, designer and former QVC host. "We have custom cabinetry throughout our entire home," says Noble. She adds that custom built-in's provide the most organized, stylish means to bring calm, beauty, and ease into a living space. Noble, author of the book, “The Power of a Smile," adds that custom built-in's unify a room, allowing the homeowner to highlight a particular feature, such as a favorite heirloom, family photos, or a valued craft or work of art. 

Another perk of cabinetry and shelving is the ease and simplicity of cleaning and organization. "Everything has a place, where it fits very, well," observes Noble. She adds that custom fixtures will reduce dust and allergens that can collect under or behind furniture, another big plus in today's home.

Custom cabinets can range from shelving to cubbies, entertainment centers, window seats, drawers, closets, and pull-outs. Plus, styles can range from sleek and modern to transitional, traditional, and farmhouse rustic—adorning the popular Shaker style cabinets.
