Prep sinks are growing in popularity as well; these small sinks are positioned strategically so you aren’t running back and forth across the kitchen.
Smart technology is a helpful addition we’ve seen in custom kitchens. Your Calgary custom home builder can guide you through selecting the perfect smart appliances for you. Nowadays, there are fridges that can send you grocery reminders and coffee makers are getting better and better at automation.

We have seen custom ladders that can roll around pantries to reach each shelf!
