People often ask me what I think is the key to making a kitchen work in a small NYC apartment. No one would argue that space in these shoe boxes is a commodity. Perhaps the best way to make a kitchen space work best is to make sure that everything is easily accessible – within an arm’s reach. That means that your cabinets not only need to built to be within good reach, but also built to hold what you need most. That’s why custom cabinetry makes an enormous amount of sense to get an enormous amount of space in out of your NY apartment.

New York custom cabinets tend to take into consideration that a lot needs to fit in a small area, and that the chef – who is opting to cook at home instead of going out to dozens of restaurants – probably has a lot of high quality gear. Enlisting the help of a qualified kitchen designer or someone familiar with custom cabinet design in Brooklyn or Manhattan will pay for itself in a few meals for sure. Designers are able to incorporate some of the latest technology in cabinetry that will allow you to cram twice as much stuff into half as much space while keeping everything accessible.

The value added of having a kitchen that really works due to its cabinetry is enormous. This value will be realized not only the savings achieved by cooking and eating at home more often (and enjoying the food that much more, if you’re a talent in the kitchen), but also in the value it will add to your home from the vantage of prospective buyers, who will want the flexibility of being able to cook and entertain easily within the confined spaces that is the affordable New York City kitchen. Custom cabinet design should therefore be a no-brainer to anyone who can afford to remodel a kitchen and who would enjoy getting the most out of a tiny space.
