If you are looking to renovate or add cabinetry to your kitchen this year, make sure to check out all the information you can and collect all the informtion on what cabinet locations work and what don?t. When it comes to cabinet and shelving one area that is often forgotten or overlooked at the planning stage, is the over the sink shelf.
The over the sink shelf comes in handy but it is most underappreciated. It offers convenient storage space, where you can store your dishes, mugs, plates and even spices. Getting an over the sink shelf is as easy as 1-2-3 and can be purchased at Target, Ikea, Home Depot and other retailers selling discounted home goods, kitchen products/accessories and hardware. Placing a shelf over the sink can transform your kitchen by adding space for that wall mounted paper towel holder you always wanted and it can also fit perfectly on top of your stove top fan vents, for convenient installation. Also an over the sink shelf can offer great features, so be sure to go over them before making a purchase.
The type of wood as well as wood finish is an important feature when choosing an over the sink shelf. You want your wood in the kitchen to be of high quality, as it is the focal point of the home. When purchasing cabinetry, also be sure that your dimensions are right. Use a tape measure to measure the dimensions in your sink area and the area that you plan to use your shelf in. Also, if you need a custom size, consult a contractor and find out the best rates for installing your new over the sink shelf.
In addition to having storage space, an over the sink shelf can serve as the keystone cabinet in the overall design ensemble of your new kitchen. Especially if it attached to your fan hood, your over the sink shelf can demand all the attention. When installed properly and in the right location, it can also add d?cor to your home. When getting ready to renovate your kitchen, be sure to review the style of your pantry and see how an over the sink shelf can completely change the level of convenience, quality control and design in your kitchen.
