Small space kitchen cabinet design tips
Go to the ceiling
Full height wall units add storage and stop dust collecting on top.
Drawers, not shelves
Base drawers let you reach the back without kneeling.
Light colours above
White or light upper units keep a small kitchen from feeling heavy.
Leave a gap for air
Keep a small gap behind cabinets on outside walls so damp does not reach the board.
Plan appliances first
Fix the fridge, oven and microwave sizes before the cabinets are drawn.

Kitchen cabinet design questions
How much does kitchen cabinet design cost per sq ft in Bangladesh?
In 2026 about ৳1,800 to ৳2,500 per sq ft for 18 mm gorjon ply depending on the finish, ৳2,800 for marine ply with acrylic and about ৳3,500 for aluminium with glass. These rates cover carcass and shutters only.
Which is the best material for kitchen cabinets?
Marine plywood for base and sink cabinets, because it handles water. Gorjon ply is a good value choice for wall and tall units. Avoid particle board in the kitchen.
Acrylic or laminate shutters?
Acrylic gives a mirror gloss and is easy to wipe but shows scratches. Laminate is harder wearing and cheaper, with matt and wood look options.
What hardware should I ask for?
Soft close hinges, tandem or telescopic drawer channels, a corner carousel or magic corner, and stainless or coated fittings that do not rust.
How can I fit more storage in a small kitchen?
Take wall cabinets to the ceiling, use deep drawers instead of shelves in base units, add a tall pantry unit and use the corner with a pull out.
