Hidden Features in the Kitchen & Bath
Sometimes, in design, certain things are better kept hidden. Take the Federal Brace Freedom Support. When creating a floating countertop look, a bulky gusset isn’t a desirable design feature. The Freedom eliminates the issue of support under a countertop by providing strength without the addition of a bolstering steel bar. However, there are many things that homeowners may decide to conceal within their kitchen for the greater good of the overall design. Let’s take a look at some great options for a variety of kitchens and baths.
Spice Racks | Now, unless you have the talents of a Pinterest goddess, odds are your spice rack is messier than a high school locker room. Hiding it is the obvious solution for many homeowners, who opt to either sequester it away in a pantry or cabinet. But why waste valuable storage space? Building a pull-out rack in your cabinetry may be the perfect solution to this issue. Custom cabinetry and custom hidden spice racks will ensure you have what you need on hand, right when you need it!

Appliances | No one is a big fan of having their toaster, coffee maker, KitchenAid mixer, blender, or food processor out on the counter. It prevents the kitchen from looking clean and cohesive in the day-to-day. Custom cabinetry can also fix this issue. Small closets built off of the countertop allow for easy access to these crucial, yet small, kitchen appliances, but you’ll never see all the mess when they’re closed!

Everything | In a micro-home, just about everything has to be hidden. If you’re tight on space, consider getting a secondary countertop that will hide your sink, cooktop and such until such a time as it’s needed. Until then, this countertop is a prep surface and workspace, while the other is a cutting board and platform for your culinary masterpieces. No space? No trouble! Plus, if you want to procrastinate on the dishes, just stick them in the sink, shut the second countertop, and forget about it ‘til later. We won’t tell anyone!

Support | A lot of homes choose to have floating vanities in the bathroom for a clean, modern look. Having bulky supports showing destroys the illusion, so providing complete strength without large brackets, legs, or bars showing is crucial. Using something like the Sento or Maiden Vanity Bracket is ideal for creating a floating vanity look and keeping your bathroom as peaceful and spa-like as possible!
