7 Thoughtful Remodeling Details That Will Make You Happier at Home (4 photos)

4. Soft-close cabinet hinges and drawer glides. Don’t you just hate it when someone (possibly you) shuts a cabinet door too hard or closes a heavy drawer, like a silverware drawer, and it makes a racket upon hitting the cabinet frame?

Soft-close hinges catch the cabinet door midswing, about an inch or two away from fully being closed, and then slowly shut it the rest of the way. (The same goes for soft-close drawer glides.) They’re amazing. You’ll be spoiled by them and find yourself accidentally slamming ordinary cabinets everywhere you go.

5. Custom cabinetry organization. I’m not talking about going to the Container Store and buying everything in sight — although that is pretty fun. For me, in-drawer organization comes during the design phase of cabinetry. Take inventory of everything you have or want to store, and see if there are storage solutions (check out Rev-A-Shelf) that can be integrated into your cabinets.

Common examples are knife holders, as seen here, spice racks, trash drawers, laundry bin holders and hair dryer/straightener holsters. Custom cabinetry organization is the embodiment of “a place for everything and everything in its place,” and it makes life that much neater and easier.
