While there is a multitude of ways that you can remodel your residence to accommodate your current and future needs, no project is as gratifying as a kitchen renovation is. If you love to cook or entertain but your kitchen does not make any of these tasks easier for you, you likely have a love-hate relationship with this space. Fortunately, embarking on the right type of renovation project can have a dramatic effect not only on how this space appears but on how functional this room can be.
One of the easiest ways to meet your kitchen's potential is by investing in custom joinery. Considering that space is always a sore point for many a homeowner, installing new joinery is a popular remodelling project irrespective of the size of the room. However, to get it right the first time around, you need to pinpoint areas to focus on with your contractors. This article outlines a couple of creative ways to make the most of custom joinery for your kitchen remodel.
Vertical cabinet dividers
When most people think of dividers, they tend to envision them in drawers or as shelving. And this does not come as a surprise considering that those are the most common applications of these accessories. Nonetheless, if you want to utilise the space available in your new custom joinery as efficiently as possible, you should consider inbuilt vertical dividers. As the name suggests, these dividers run lengthwise rather than horizontally, and this placement is ideal for many kitchen items.,
From cooling racks to sheet trays, chopping boards and even pie dishes, vertical dividers provide you with a convenient way to store these items without stacking them in a way that would increase the likelihood of them toppling over whenever you open a cabinet! As a pro tip, you can have cabinets with inbuilt dividers installed at awkwardly shaped corners of the kitchen so you can maximise on space.
Inbuilt garbage pull-out
One thing you are assured of when prepping or cooking in the kitchen is the production of waste. Hence, you likely have a garbage bin lingering somewhere in this space. Although this container helps ensure that waste does not get onto the floor, you can agree that it is an eyesore. And if you have been prepping pungent food items, the smell will linger in your kitchen as long as the waste is in this bin!
Rather than position it at the corner of the kitchen or behind a door, you should make the most of custom joinery in this space by conceptualising dedicated storage for the garbage bin. And the best way to do this is to opt for a built-in pull-out that will not only keep the bin out of sight but will help with mitigating odours in this space.

When my husband and I bought our first house, we went out of our way to find a property that was suited to young professionals such as ourselves. So when my ageing mother had to move in with us last year, we instantly knew that the house was going to need some changes to accommodate her. We had both our kitchen and our bathroom remodeled, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We were surprised to find that with some careful planning and clever design, it was possible to create living spaces that worked great for me, my husband, and my mum. I hope you'll enjoy these posts about what I learned during the process.
