counter.

7. INDIVIDUAL ROOMS:
PRACTICAL IDEAS
• Kitchen
• Maximize corners using blind corner system – a set of trays that either
automatically or manually pulls out when you open the door.
• Drawers vs. Roll-outs: Roll-outs have shorter sides, and require you to
first open the door. Ideal for places such as under the sink or in the
pantry. Deep drawers are great for big items, such as pots and pans.
• Large appliance holders: Recommended for medium to large
kitchens. Appliance holder swings out of cabinet and up until it’s level
with the counter.
8. KITCHEN: SAVING MONEY
• Keep cabinets to the standard 8’ height, both for convenience and to save
money. If storage is very tight in the rest of the house, cabinets that go
up to the ceiling can be used for storage, or to display collectibles.
• Avoid glazed finishes or distressed looks on cabinetry.
9. BATHROOMS
• Medicine cabinets: Integrate outlets
for corded accessories. Decide on
wall-mount cabinet or one that uses
the stud space.
• Tower cabinets: Great for storing
linens, toilet paper, and other
bathroom essentials.
• Lowered vanity area: Gives
designated place for trays of
perfume and make-up. Allows
seating while applying make-up.
10. BEDROOMS

• Hutch at end of bed with pop-up TV
• Built-in dressers with drawer organizers
• Desk area in bedroom
• Bench seat under window – more storage
• Closet systems and organizers
11. DINING ROOM
• Built-in hutch: A great and beautiful place to store dishes, linens and other
dining accessories.
12. HOME OFFICE
• Organization is key to working
from home.
• Appropriate plug-ins: for
computer, fax, scanner, cell
phone, etc
• Roll-outs: put computer tower,
fax and scanner on roll-outs
(keeps desk area clear;
convenient to pull out)
13. HOME OFFICES
• Pop-up monitor hardware:
keeps desk clear when not in
use.
• Large file drawers that face
you: improves organization;
easy access from seated
position.
14. HOME OFFICES
• Cork/Vinyl board:
great central location
for invitations,
announcements,
pictures, etc. Vinyl
closes after removal
of push pins.
• Basket cubbies: great
for storage and style.
15. FAMILY AND LIVING ROOM
• Fireplace surround: increases
storage

organize and hide TV, DVD
player, Xbox, etc behind
closed doors. Beautiful when
made to match with rest of
house.

the room; beautiful to
decorate.

surround and entertainment
center for a stunning seamless
look.

storage, rack to hang laundry, and pull-out hamper.

controlled room with wine racks around the perimeter, and an island in the
middle in which to serve wine and cheese.

and ice maker.

last for years to come.

19. CUSTOM VS. SEMI-CUSTOM OR
BOX CABINETRY
• True custom allows your space dictate their system. Semi-custom or box
cabinet shops make your space fit their system.
• Price: Custom pricing will always appear higher. In the end, the difference
is usually negligible. Example:

example)
Initial price $3,000.00 $2,200.00
Cost of installer to $450.00
monkey with cabinet
Cost of finisher to $150.00
fix marks from
installation
TOTAL COST $3,000.00 $2,800.00
20. CUSTOM VS. SEMI-CUSTOM OR

Custom Semi-custom/box
Wood ¾” Thick plywood Particle board or
melamine
Hardware High-quality to last Low to mid quality,
to cut cost
Drawers Full-extension 21”- Full-extension 18”
