The classic kitchen work triangle (sink, stove, and refrigerator) should flow naturally, making cooking those Low Country boils a breeze.
Make the most of every space with smart storage solutions. Local designers recommend utilizing end cabinets for specialized storageโthink dedicated spaces for your seafood boiling pots or organizing your entertaining essentials. Custom solutions might include a pull-out spice rack for those essential Southern seasonings or specialized storage for serving pieces.

Invest in quality materials that stand up to humidity while complementing your home's style. High-grade cabinetry, moisture-resistant countertops, and reliable appliances may cost more initially but prove worthwhile in our challenging climate.
