Why Your Cabinets Don't Fit
A kitchen can look finished and still not work well. At Silver Lake Cabinetry, we believe great design is in the details. Cabinetry should fit your kitchen, but it should also fit the way you use it every day.
Standard Cabinets Do Not Always Fit Real Kitchens
Many homes, especially older New England homes, do not have perfectly standard kitchen layouts. Walls may not be perfectly square, and floors may not be leveled. Windows, doors, soffits, beams, plumbing, and appliance locations must be accounted for in the design and fit. If standard cabinets are placed in a non-standard space, awkward gaps and spaces quickly arise.
Dead Corners & Wasted Storage
Corner cabinets are one of the most common kitchen trouble spots. A poorly planned corner may technically provide storage, but if items are hard to reach, it does not function well. Pots, pans, appliances, and serving pieces often get pushed to the back and forgotten
A cabinetry designer can help solve these areas with options such as lazy Susans, blind-corner pull-outs, corner drawers, better cabinet configurations, or layout changes that reduce wasted space.
What are Cabinet Fillers?
A filler is a piece used to close a gap between cabinets, walls, appliances, or fixed elements. Fillers are sometimes necessary. They can help doors and drawers open properly, account for uneven walls, or create clearance around appliances. The problem is when fillers are overused, poorly placed, or allowed to take up space that could have been more useful.

A cabinetry designer helps figure out where fillers are needed, where they can be minimized, and where a better design solution may create a cleaner, more functional space.
Cabinets Can Fit the Kitchen but Not the Household
Sometimes cabinets fit the walls perfectly but still do not fit the way the homeowners live. A family that cooks every night will likely need different storage solutions than a household that entertains often but rarely does their own food prep.
Internal Cabinet Solutions Can Solve Everyday Pain Points
Custom inserts and internal cabinet solutions can include deep drawers, tray dividers, spice pull-outs, roll-out shelves, trash and recycling pull-outs, appliance garages, pantry pull-outs, mixer lifts, charging drawers, and dedicated storage for cutting boards, baking sheets, serving pieces, cleaning items, or pet supplies.
