Kitchen Renovation Mistakes: Cabinets

We worked with an in-house American Woodmark designer to get this detailed kitchen done right.

Kitchens are too complicated even for most contractors to design and specify (select cabinet sizes and parts.) After we designed the space, picked products and finishes, and created a floorplan and elevations with detailed cabinet selections, we still worked with an in-house designer on this American Woodmark kitchen to refine our plan.

There are just too many permutations and product lines for anyone else but a dedicated cabinet design pro to really have a solid grasp of.

And there’s a lot at stake that takes a trained eye. It only takes, for example, missing the thickness of a single door casing thickness to obstruct a drawer from opening—and you won’t know until everything is installed.
