Why You Should Include Transom Cabinets in Your Kitchen!

You may or may not be familiar with the word transom, but it simply means a horizontal crosspiece used for structural purposes. In homes, you will find transom windows and transom cabinets. You have probably seen in a few homes where there are windows above doors, especially older homes or buildings. These are called transom windows. Today, these windows are used mostly for design, but before air conditioning, transom windows were used for air flow while still allowing for privacy. Transom cabinets, on the other hand, are cabinets that fill in space between your regular cabinets and the ceiling. Learn why Ragan Cabinets thinks that transom cabinets are a great addition to your kitchen design.


Fill in the Gap of Wasted Space 

In most kitchens, you will find that there are a couple of feet of space between the tops of the cabinets and the ceiling. Sure, you can store some decorative items in the space but otherwise, it really serves no purpose. More times than not you will find more dust than decorations in this space. It is not uncommon for many of to neglect to dust this area because it is a small and awkward space. This is where the addition of transom cabinets work great because you cut down on the dusting and create more usable space.

Add a Design Element 

In addition to reducing the amount of dusting that you will have to do, adding transom cabinets to your kitchen can really add some great detail to your kitchen design. Since these cabinets are typically smaller than the main cabinets and the fact that they are up high, many designers will opt to put glass fronts on these cabinets. When you choose semi-custom cabinets at the Lake of the Ozarks, the possibles are nearly endless when it comes to designing your kitchen. You can really add some extravagant details to your transom cabinets that otherwise may be unpractical for your everyday cabinets below.


More Storage

Lastly, a huge advantage to adding transom cabinets to your kitchen design is adding extra storage to your kitchen. If you are being honest, no one can really ever say that they have too much storage, especially in the kitchen! If you opt for the glass fronts you may be more limited to decorative dishes or other decorative items. However, if you choose a solid cabinet door, this space is great for items that you don't use often such as holiday items, roasting pans, or other small kitchen appliances that don't get used on an everyday basis.

Adding transition cabinets to your kitchen, rather than leaving the space empty defiantly has its perks. Everyone needs a little extra storage and deciding what to use the extra storage for will be for you to decide. Whether you have a collection of decorative dishes, you want to store unused appliances, or simply add a stunning visual element to your kitchen, transom cabinets are a great addition to any design.
