Wall Cabinets: Everything You Need to Know

1. Wall Cabinets vs Base Cabinets

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://staging.canadacabinetsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Hudson-upper-cabinets-2.jpg” alt=”wall cabinets

Wall cabinets are mounted onto your wall

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”50px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The main difference between wall and base cabinets is where they are installed. Base cabinets, also called lower cabinets, are constructed to sit on the floor, whereas wall cabinets are mounted onto the wall above your base cabinets. Another difference between base and wall cabinets is that you will only have drawers installed in your base cabinets and not in your upper cabinets. This is because your wall-mounted cabinets are too high up for you to easily access anything inside a drawer.

2. Types of Wall Cabinets

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”2″ module_id=”2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Wall cabinets, also referred to as upper cabinets or wall-mounted cabinets, usually consist of a box frame, sides called stiles, a panelled cabinet door and hanging rail frames. You can also choose to have one, two or multiple shelves installed inside the cabinet or if you prefer, no shelves at all. For even more options, you can order adjustable shelves that you can arrange to suit the height of the items that you are storing in your cuboards.

Here are some different types of wall cabinets that you can include in your kitchen design.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”microwave” module_id=”2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Microwave Cabinet:

Give yourself more counter space with a microwave cabinet

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”50px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”microwave” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

You can install a wall unit that neatly holds your microwave oven, so that it is conveniently lifted off of your countertop to give you more space. You can install this type of cabinet over your oven or stove, next to your refrigerator, or anywhere else among your upper cabinets.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”fridge” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Refrigerator Cabinet:

Make the most of all the available space in your kitchen by installing cabinets above your refrigerator as well.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”corner” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Blind Corner Cabinets:

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://staging.canadacabinetsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blind-cabinet.jpg” alt=”blind cabinet” title_text=”blind cabinet” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”caption” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Blind cabinets are located in the corner where two cabinets meet

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”50px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”corner” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

A blind corner cabinet is installed in the corner of your wall where two of your cabinet runs meet. Part of the blind corner cabinet will be hidden by the side of adjacent cabinet from the other run that meets up with it.

This hidden section will not have a door because the side of the cabinet that is installed next to it will be covering where the door would go. The hidden part without the door will be used for extra storage so that you don’t lose any valuable space in your kitchen.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Pantry:” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Pantry:

Every kitchen needs a pantry. Pantry cupboards extend from the floor all the way up to the ceiling of your room. You can design your pantry to suit your particular needs including how many doors and shelves you want it to have.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cabinet with Glass Doors:” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Cabinet with Glass Doors:

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://staging.canadacabinetsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Cambridge-upper-glass-doors.jpg” alt=”glass doors” title_text=”Cambridge upper glass doors” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”caption” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Glass doors can give your kitchen a dramatic style

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”50px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cabinet with Glass Doors:” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

For a truly dramatic look, choose glass doors for a number of your upper cabinets. Having a combination of both glass and solid doors allow you to show off your beautiful glassware and dishes, while giving you space to hide other items that you don’t want to display.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Lazy Susan:

A lazy Susan is a great addition for an upper corner wall cabinet. Its swivelling shelves let you easily access everything you have stored in your cupboard, even items in the back corner.

Range Hood Cabinets:

Range hood cabinets provide extra storage above your stove

Don’t forget to include a couple of cabinets above your range hood to store those items you don’t use very often.

3. Additional Uses for Wall Cabinets

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”3″ module_id=”3″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Wall units are not only a necessity for your kitchen cabinet layout, but they are also the perfect choice for other rooms in your home.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”bathrooms” module_id=”3″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Bathrooms:

You can install cabinets above your sink and vanity to give you attractive and incredibly useful extra storage space in your bathrooms. Use these cabinets to store toiletries, towels, beauty supplies, and small appliances such as your blow drier and shaver.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”family” module_id=”3″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Family Room:

You can create a one-of-a-kind entertainment center for your family room with wall cabinets. Start with sturdy base cabinets to support your television and then add matching wall cabinets on either side and above. Install doors on the upper units for hidden storage space and go doorless on the side units to make an attractive display space for books, photos, and prized possessions.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”laundry” module_id=”3″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Laundry Room:

Install cabinets above your washer and dryer

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”50px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”laundry” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The laundry room is often a forgotten space when it comes to adding storage. However, you probably use this room multiple times every week, so why not make your life easier by installing upper cabinets to store all your laundry supplies? Your laundry room will look nicer and you will always know right where all your soap and other cleaning supplies are.

In addition, if you are limited in space, for example, if your washer and drier are in a tight corner or closet, mounting wall cabinets above them will make great use of the valuable space.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”home office” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Home Office:

If you are like so many people these days, you or someone in your household may be working from home either full-time or part-time. If space is tight, then take advantage of the wall space above your desk. Install two or three wall units above your desk to give you room to store all of your office supplies and allow for easy access.
