Q: What are the advantages of stacked cabinets over separate cabinets?

A stacked setup is ideal if you want to make the most of the space you have. By placing the cabinets on top of each other, you create plenty of storage without taking up extra floor space. That makes a stacked cabinet particularly suitable for smaller laundry rooms, utility rooms or plant rooms. Separate cabinets side by side can be the better choice if you have more room or want to create a wider working surface.

Torn between a stacked setup and separate cabinets side by side? Stacked cabinets, also called modular cabinets, offer a flexible and efficient storage solution. The biggest difference lies in adaptability and clever use of space: where separate cabinets tie you to fixed dimensions, a stacked setup grows with your changing needs.

The advantages of stacking

Space saving: by placing the appliances and modules on top of each other you make the most of the height and keep valuable floor space free.
More room for extra cabinets: you use the space you free up for additional storage cabinets.
Better value: a stacked setup is generally cheaper, and thanks to the modular system you can invest in stages and extend it easily later.
Flexible and long-lasting: if a module is damaged, you replace only that part rather than the whole cabinet.

When do you choose to stack?

Stacking is above all a smart choice in smaller laundry rooms, studio flats or under a sloping ceiling, where you want to use every centimetre. Separate cabinets are more suitable if you are looking for a fixed, permanent setup with no need for adaptability.
