Not every Connecticut home comes with a sprawling kitchen or expansive mudroom. But with carefully planned custom cabinetry, even compact spaces can feel functional and luxurious. Here are strategies Pellegrino uses to make every square foot count.

Full-Height Cabinetry for Maximum Storage

Taking cabinets to the ceiling eliminates wasted space. Seasonal or less-used items can be stored in upper sections, keeping everyday essentials within easy reach.

Smarter Layouts and Corner Solutions

In tight rooms, every inch matters. Corner pullouts, slim pantries, or eliminating awkward corners altogether can streamline storage and circulation.

Integrated Appliances and Drawers First

Panel-ready refrigerators and dishwashers reduce visual clutter. Deep drawers for pots, pans, and utensils are far more efficient than standard lower cabinets.

Light and Reflective Finishes

Lighting and finishes can visually expand small rooms. Under-cabinet LEDs, reflective backsplashes, and satin paint finishes bounce natural light around the space.
