• Kitchen cabinets are small furniture that are
  used to store all kind of food, kitchen ware,
  utensils and vessels. Some other essentials like
  water purifier, refrigerator and dishwashers are
  also fitted with cabinets nowadays to give
  kitchen a symmetrical interior design. Many
  designer kitchen accessories manufacturers
  provide kitchen cabinets in several designs.
• History of kitchen cabinets goes back to 18th
  century when human started to preserve meat by
  coating it with salt and needed a cabinet to put
  the extra meal somewhere inside the cooking area.

• By the early 1900 wooden furniture called as
  Hoosier cabinet came in to the market and sold
  over ten thousand cabinets per year. To speak of
  proper wooden and other integrated cabinets
  started to have places in kitchen came in to
  light in 1900 only after the first Hoosier
  cabinet introduced to the market. We can define
  some designs as per the time line after that like
• 1910-1930 these were the times when the world was
  just about to move from basic needs to luxury
  lifestyle and started having different rooms for
  different needs like dining room, kitchen and
  pantry room to store the food and edibles. Most
  of the vessels and dishes were also stored in
  these places along with food.

• 1930-1940 were the times of industrial age and
  this started mass production of almost every
  essential human needed to survive and show the
  status of their luxury lifestyle among society.
  This started an unannounced war of marketing
  which proposed people to have more and more
  useful essentials for their houses and specially
  kitchens. That was the time when people realized
  to have more use of their kitchen space which
  gave architects spaces to use wisely and so the
  designs of inbuilt cabinets came in light. These
  cabinets were smooth on upper surface and would
  usually be used to put essentials inside while
  could be used to work upon them. This also worked
  as the early models of modern-day kitchen
  cabinets.

• 1940-1960 were also called as post world war era
  of reformed designs and artifacts. The industrial
  age had begun with the start of world war two and
  so many inventions had been done by the
  government in war times basically in search for
  durable materials for weaponry systems and many
  more subjects. These inventions had no practical
  use once after the war was over and so many
  foundries redirected themselves from making
  weaponry systems to household products. Formica
  was one of the products introduced after world
  war era and was more durable and compatible then
  former micas used to put on cabinet tops. These
  Formicas were coated with ceramic kind resins and
  were easy to place on countertops. Improved
  designs of frameless cabinets were soon adopted
  all over the world and shaped the modern kitchen
  cabinet history.

• 1960-1990 were the times when the world economy
  was grooming and prospering together with ease of
  travel after the invention of airplanes. New
  materials and designs were introduced almost each
  month by one competitor or another. It gave
  consumers a number of options to redesigning or
  decorating their kitchen spaces on different
  modules like space saving or expensive and
  attractive modules. Thick countertops and
  lightweight appliances for the high ceilings and
  integrated oven to get installed in to cabinets
  and larger fridge sizes to give more space for
  food storage.
• 1990-modern days kitchen improved enormously with
  almost every material in use with millions of
  colors and designs. The choice of products is so
  many that no two kitchens in todays time can
  look exactly same if not chosen to be. From
  refrigerators to the tabletop stoves and
  dishwasher or oven choices. Everything and
  anything can be integrated with any color and
  design inside the kitchen cabinets. Pullout
  garbage cabinets hideaways or quietly shutting
  cabinet drawers. One can ask for anything he
  could think of having inside the kitchen and it
  is possible with small or almost no changes in
  the exterior designs.
