In the realm of kitchen design, double-stacked cabinets have emerged as a popular trend, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. However, like any design choice, they come with their own set of considerations. In this blog post, Granite Works takes a look at the benefits of double-stacked cabinets, and whether or not they are the right option for your kitchen.
Maximizing Storage
One of the most compelling reasons to opt for double-stacked cabinets is the significant increase in storage space. Especially in smaller kitchens or where countertop space is at a premium, this extra storage can be invaluable. Upper cabinets are perfect for stowing away less frequently used items or seasonal kitchenware, freeing up lower cabinets for everyday essentials.
Aesthetic Appeal
Beyond the practical, double-stacked cabinets can elevate the look of your kitchen. They add a touch of luxury and sophistication and create a visually interesting layering effect. They also give you the opportunity to display decorative items in glass-fronted upper cabinets, adding personality to your kitchen. With a variety of styles and finishes available, these cabinets can be tailored to suit any kitchen aesthetic, from contemporary to classic.
What to Consider Before Making Your Choice
While the benefits are clear, there are a few considerations to keep in mind, including the following:
- Kitchen Size. Double-stacked cabinets can make a small kitchen feel more cramped, while in a large kitchen, they can enhance the sense of space.
- Accessibility. The items in the upper section of the double-stacked cabinet may require a step stool to reach.
- Maintenance. Cleaning double-stacked cabinets might demand a bit more effort compared to single-level cabinets.
