Nifty storage features have long been a staple of high-end kitchen cabinets, but many manufacturers are beginning to blur the lines between custom, semi-custom, and stock. Several manufacturers have recently expanded storage options across their product lines, bringing entry-point models closer to the high-end offerings in terms of function and style.
"Features that function well are important to the consumer today, and that's been a growing trend," says Sarah Reep, director of design for KraftMaid Cabinetry.
In addition to offering more storage options throughout their product lines, manufacturers are adding decorative door styles to their moderately priced collections. These features, according to Faith Allen, product manager for Merillat, lend an overall custom look at value pricing.
To some buyers, interior accessory options for moderately priced cabinetry is a priority, says Connie Edwards, director of design for Timberlake Cabinet Co. "Some of these accessories will make a smaller kitchen more organized. Cutlery dividers and other accessories help maximize the space and functionality of a kitchen."
