Kitchen Cabinets

Modern kitchen cabinets have evolved to be the most versatile and flexible components of new kitchens. They provide storage solutions for a very busy room, so it is important to plan their dimensions, uses and placement well.

Open Sesame

Soft closing doors and drawers - there are now several manufacturers of these that we recommend - are now must-haves. Handle-less cupboards that open with a gentle tap are also growing in popularity - these enhance a streamlined appearance and can create the impression of panelled walls rather than kitchen cabinets.

For narrow kitchens, where outward opening doors on wall mounted cabinets can be a problem, door lifts are ideal - the door folding out of the way allowing easy access to the cupboard contents.

A Place For Everything

The biggest innovation in utilising kitchen cabinets to their fullest potential has to be the wonderful storage systems that are now available. Some are truly innovative, and Apollo Kitchens is at the forefront of their incorporation into kitchens. Pull-out shelving, drawers and baskets are making under bench cupboards a thing of the past. Everything is being stored in pull-outs - china, glassware, cookware - making bending to reach deep recesses a thing of the past.

Pantry design has come a long way and the organised pantry can be one of the most often used parts of a kitchen. Tiered stands on shelves, pull out racks and baskets - which are sometimes full pantry height - help keep even the smallest spice jar within reach.

Light the Way

In the past, benchtops and work areas that are under wall mounted kitchen cabinets were unsuitable as work surfaces because they were too dark. With the inclusion of under bench lighting though, this is no longer the case. The Apollo Kitchens design team has a variety of under-cabinet lighting solutions to ensure that all of your bench surfaces are well lit for maximum usability.

Communication Islands

As kitchen areas are increasing flowing into family living areas, the popularity of work islands has also increased. These islands often include work benches that provide an additional food preparation area, and allow the kitchen workers to be included in any conversations taking place. They are great storage areas that can be designed by the Apollo Kitchens team to be accessed from both sides.

Individual style

While all of our kitchen cabinets are built to exacting standards using the best quality materials, it is your choice of finishes that will be the defining element for your new kitchen. Benchtops and cabinet doors will reflect your personality and lifestyle.

Stone benchtops, whether natural or synthetic, have been popular for some years now, but the choices in their colour and texture have seen laminates make a big comeback. All of these services have the hard-wearing qualities that are necessary for kitchen work surfaces.

Kitchen cabinet doors and drawers can be designed to be either unobtrusive, blending in with surrounding walls, or to make a statement of style. Your type of home will often dictate whether these will be simple, rustic or ornate.

Whatever you choose, know that the Apollo Kitchens team is here to provide you with the kitchen cabinets that are just right for your lifestyle.
