More and more decor trends form the past come back to our kitchens to make them edgy and unusual: eye-catchy tile backsplashes, two-tone cabinets, string lights and more and more. Freestanding cabinetry is one of them, it’s rediscovered and is making a huge come back, and more and more designers and home owners use it. Freestanding cabinets have legs and seem to be more elevated from the floor. They don’t need to be attached to the back wall although they can be if desired. I’ve prepared some pros that are to convince you to rock such cabinets in your kitchen, too.

Comfy Legs

Most of such cabinets are finished on all sides, and that means that you can move them around as much as you need and create various configurations – a great option for those who love changes and refreshing the space from time to time. The legs can be lowered or raised if you need to change the look, and they will fit even a space with imperfect flooring.

Easy Installation

Freestanding kitchen cabinets are actually more easy to install than the conventional types. You may not even need the help of a professional which brings us to what is possibly the greatest advantage of all: you can change and reconfigure your kitchen every time you want, and this is great for those who love changes. Though freestanding cabinets are often more expensive than conventional ones, the easier installation could save you enough to make it worth investing in the cabinets in the first place. Now you see all the pros and I’m sure that you are convinced to buy such cabinets, too!
