The more cabinets, the better, right?

Who needs to go through the whole decluttering process when you can just toss everything into a cabinet and call it a day? In any of these swoon-worthy spaces, you’re just one cabinet door away from a pristine home.

1. Murphy’s Law

Architects Jeremy Sturgess and Lesley Beale maximized every square inch of their Vancouver loft apartment with smart design elements like this Murphy bed surrounded by cabinets. Get the full condo tour here.

2. Bathing Beauty

Love It or List It Vancouver‘s Todd Talbot brought in designer Jamie Banfield for help maximize the storage in his master bathroom. The result is a wall of marble-faced cabinets for stowing all the ensuite essentials in style. Read more about this renovation challenge.

3. The In-Between

The millwork in this McIntyre Bills-designed Alberta home would be beautiful even if it wasn’t decorated with colourful books and objets d’art. See the other ways the design firm reinvigorated this flood-damaged home.
