It all depends on how much storage is needed as to how many cabinets you have. Too many cabinets could lead to the room feeling closed in. Here are some ideas: Good luck with your kitchen!

Hello AK, This section is intended to answer your queries/dilemmas that you may come across while building/designing your new home. I haven't seen many a people providing free designs here. Just an unsolicited advice - Hope you do not mind : We all make one dream home and we want that it to be customized to our specific needs. 'One size fits all' approach does not work for residential spaces in particular. It is therefore recommended to hire any qualified professional architect to study the site, your requirements and make suitable plans for you. Sit with them, ask as many questions, make your own suggestions, study the details, if need be - ask for a second opinion here and elsewhere but make it your own place. I agree it may seem like an avoidable fee at first but the mistakes/changes corrections made on a later date are often costlier. All the best. Thanks, Nitin
