Cabinetry Ideas

Storage- The type of storage you add to your island should be intentional. For instance, if you are chopping vegetables you will want cutlery dividers or a knife block pullout for knives, tray dividers for cutting boards, and a waste basket or compost bin for scraps. If you plan to use the island for baking, a canister pullout will keep flour, sugar and other dry ingredients well organized. If your island is simply to gather around for entertaining you may want wine cubbies for bottles and a few peg drawers for glasses.

Indianapolis, much like the rest of the country, is seeing a boom in remodeling and new construction jobs.

It is important to think about your entertaining style and how you want traffic to move through the space while entertaining.

People are asking for cabinets more unique to their own personal style or to match them to existing cabinets they already have and love.
