Renovating a kitchen is one of the most exciting — and expensive — home upgrades you can take on. It’s where design meets function, and where smart decisions make the biggest difference over time. Unfortunately, many homeowners fall into the same traps when planning their dream kitchen. The good news? Most of these mistakes can be avoided (or completely solved) with thoughtful, custom cabinetry.
At Soll Solutions, we see these issues all the time — and we build intelligent cabinet systems that prevent them before they start. Let’s take a closer look at the seven most common kitchen design mistakes, and how custom cabinetry can turn each one into a design advantage.
A beautiful kitchen is meaningless if it’s frustrating to cook in. One of the biggest design flaws is ignoring the flow between key zones: prepping, cooking, cleaning, and storing. When appliances or cabinets are placed without considering the “kitchen triangle,” the space can feel cramped, chaotic, or just inefficient.
With parametric design, we tailor every cabinet to your lifestyle and space — ensuring your sink, stove, fridge, and storage zones support how you actually move in the kitchen. No awkward corners, no unnecessary steps.
Standard cabinet sizes often leave valuable space unused — especially in kitchens with high ceilings. That gap between the top of your cabinets and the ceiling? It’s collecting dust, not helping you store anything.
We build to the full height of your space, adding extra rows, hidden compartments, or vertical pull-outs. No space is wasted — and the design still feels sleek and intentional.
Too many kitchens look amazing on the outside, but offer poor internal organization. Shallow drawers, corner dead zones, and chaotic pantries lead to daily frustration.
From drawer organizers to sliding spice racks, our designs include built-in solutions that suit your exact cooking habits. Everything has a place — and stays in it.
Fridges that stick out, microwaves squeezed into corners, or dishwashers that clash with cabinetry — these are common signs that appliance integration was an afterthought.
We plan cabinetry around your appliances from the start, so everything fits seamlessly. With parametric tools, we can adjust every cut and panel to match the exact dimensions of your chosen models, no retrofitting needed.
Some kitchen designs chase trends at the expense of function. Open shelving everywhere might look great in photos, but in real life? Dust, clutter, and regret.
We balance aesthetics with real-life usability. You can still get a modern, minimal look — without sacrificing closed storage, smart access, or durability. Beauty should serve your lifestyle, not complicate it.
Standard cabinets are built for standard needs. But if you’re tall, short, left-handed, or have a unique kitchen footprint, generic sizes just don’t cut it.
Everything we build is customized to you. From counter height to drawer depth, we use parametric design to tailor every dimension. That means comfort, accessibility, and flow — no compromises.
Trends change, families grow, and what works today might feel outdated tomorrow. Most kitchens aren’t designed with long-term use in mind.
We think ahead — offering modular, upgradable elements that grow with you. Soft-close hardware, adjustable shelves, and timeless materials ensure your kitchen stays functional and beautiful for years.
Your kitchen deserves more than a quick facelift or one-size-fits-all approach. Custom cabinetry, when designed intelligently, solves problems before they begin. It’s not just about luxury — it’s about lasting value, smart use of space, and a daily experience that feels effortless.
At Soll Solutions, we don’t just build cabinets. We build systems designed to fit you — powered by parametric design, precision craftsmanship, and a deep respect for how people live.
Let’s make sure your kitchen is the one you’ll love for a lifetime.
