Cabinet Solutions for Small Spaces

At True North Cabinetry, we understand that not every home has room or space to spare. Every single inch can matter, especially when it comes to storage. Whether you’re working with a condo, townhouse, bathroom, or a cozy kitchen, our mission is to deliver custom cabinetry that fits your space, your lifestyle, and your taste. This can happen all without compromising on the quality and style your vision deserves. Our locally-crafted cabinets combine exceptional design, construction, and installation all handled in-house by our Edmonton team.

Compact homes can each present unique challenges like limited counter space, awkward layouts, and fewer storage opportunities. Nevertheless, we believe that the expectation to look polished, functional, and spacious remains. That’s where our custom approach can help make all the difference. We begin with a detailed design process that uses CAD renderings so you can see exactly how your space will look and function before we begin building.

Why Custom Cabinets Are Ideal for Small Spaces

Standard-sized cabinets and off-the-shelf modules can often leave gaps, create awkward corners, or waste valuable space in smaller homes. With custom cabinetry from True North, you are sure to get cabinets built to your exact dimensions. That means every inch of your kitchen or bathroom will be properly maximised. Our in-house manufacturing workshop enables us to design and create bespoke solutions tailored to your walls, ceiling height, and room layout.

We recognize that in smaller homes, functionality becomes as important as aesthetics. That’s why we give special attention to features like full-extension drawers, soft-close hardware, and doors that open without hitting adjoining walls or furniture. And because our installation is handled by our own team of cabinetmakers, we ensure a perfect fit from the cabinetry to the room finish.

Smart Cabinet Features for Tight Spaces

Consider some of the following strategies when upgrading cabinetry in compact homes or condos:

• Use tall cabinets that can go from the floor to the ceiling in order to properly maximise vertical storage and reduce any possible wasted space below or above.
• Incorporate narrow pull-out cabinets or corner units to use awkward areas effectively nothing is left under-utilized.
• Prioritise full-height backsplashes and continuous countertop flows, which can help to visually extend the space.
• Choose reflective or light-toned finishes and minimal hardware to keep the kitchen feeling open rather than crowded.
• Ensure installation precision with us. We work to make sure that everything is done with a seamless fit and alignment to reinforce a premium feel in a small footprint.

With solutions like these, your small space doesn’t have to feel small: It can feel intentional, elegant, and highly functional.

How True North Cabinetry Makes It Work
